This is my first try at ABAP. I'm interning in the IT dept of a company and the project I'm on right now requires me to write a relatively simple program, as I've never written anything substantial in ABAP. I'm at a loss as to where to start.

As a starting point, I'm just trying to read in and then display the values of a tab delimited text file. Any help would be much appreciated..

  • Do you have to code this for yourself or are you also interested in pointers to generic tools that already implement this? – vwegert Jul 10 '13 at 07:26
  • the file you're loading, are you loading it from your desktop or the application servers? – Jorg Jul 10 '13 at 23:02

Use method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload to upload the file. cl_gui_frontent_services also has some other handy methods like FILE_OPEN_DIALOG that you can use as an F4-fieldhelp to select the file that you would like to upload.

You should be able to use the "where-used" function to see how these methods are implemented.

Use the various CL_SALV* classes to display the uploaded file. (See this answer for a more detailed overview of the CL_SALV* Classes).

Have a look at the demo programs in package SLIS for more options on displaying lists. (SALV_DEMO_TABLE_COLUMNS_GROUP looks like a good SALV example)
