CSV

CSV is supported through two symmetric helpers on the façade.

itab_get_csv_by_itab

Render any internal table to a CSV string. The first row contains the column headers (uppercase component names).

DATA(lv_csv) = zabaputil_cl_util=>itab_get_csv_by_itab( lt_flights ).

itab_get_itab_by_csv

Parse a CSV string into a freshly created internal table. The result is returned as a generic REF TO data.

DATA(lr_itab) = zabaputil_cl_util=>itab_get_itab_by_csv( lv_csv ).
ASSIGN lr_itab->* TO FIELD-SYMBOL(<lt>).

The first row of the CSV is interpreted as the header. Components are matched by name against the inferred line type.

Tips

• For CSVs that need a specific encoding, combine with conv_get_xstring_by_string and write the bytes to file with cl_gui_frontend_services (on-prem) or your HTTP response object (cloud).
• For a binary format (XLSX) instead of CSV, use conv_get_xlsx_by_itab.
