when u r declaring parameter do not use string type..

for ur requirement do like this..

parameter : p_file type rlgrap-filename.

data : f_file type string.

f_file = p_file.

do in the above way.. it will work..

Hi,

I hope you are using version 4.6 or 4.7 ..

Because in there you cannot declare type string . From versions 5.0 onwards its compatible .

P_file like rlgrap-filename .

You can try this declarations in ur case.

hi it seems u want to read filename

RLGRAP-filename for p_file

if u want string itself declare it as character of some max length.

if the value is move that to string var, then remove the spaces at the end

PARAMETERS : p_date TYPE bkpf-budat OBLIGATORY,

p_file(200) OBLIGATORY.

data : l_file type string.

l_file = p_file.

Below statement is working fine for me in ECC6.0.

PARAMETERS P1 TYPE STRING OBLIGATORY.

I guess you are in some older release which is not supporting STRING type for PARAMETERS.

Cheers,
