I hav created a report that can be executed both in Foreground and Background mode..
Basically the report reads an excel file from desktop and then updates some data in std codes.
However, i am facing issue for background.
When i execute the program in background mode. i upload the file frm desktop... and put the file in app server
and then schedule the same program as a job.
the file has approx 50 cols.. each having different length
and some cols can be blank too..
so when the file is read frm app server.. if suppose 3rd column is blanl.. then automatically 4th colmuumn contents come to 3rd column..
and so i am not getting the correct internal table
Even if i use separater even then, internal table isnt filled properly because of differnece in length...
can u plz guide me thru it??
