AUTHORITY_CHECK_DATASET is the module for it.

For details go through SAP HELP

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/fc/eb3d5c358411d1829f0000e829fbfe/frameset.htm

Let me know in case of any issues.

Good

Please check this

The Function Module AUTHORITY_CHECK_DATASET

This function module allows you to check whether the user is authorized to access a file before the system tries to open it. This preempts a possible runtime error that can otherwise occur in the automatic authorization check.

The function module has the following import parameters:

· PROGRAM

Name of the ABAP program from which the file is to be opened. If you do not specify a program name, the system assumes the current program.

· ACTIVITY

Access type, with the following possible values:

¡ Read file

¡ Change file

¡ READ_WITH_FILTER

¡ WRITE_WITH_FILTER

¡ Delete file

These values are defined as constants in the type group SABC as follows:

TYPE-POOL SABC .

CONSTANTS:

SABC_ACT_READ(4) VALUE 'READ',

SABC_ACT_WRITE(5) VALUE 'WRITE',

SABC_ACT_READ_WITH_FILTER(16) VALUE 'READ_WITH_FILTER',

SABC_ACT_WRITE_WITH_FILTER(17) VALUE 'WRITE_WITH_FILTER',

SABC_ACT_DELETE(6) VALUE 'DELETE',

SABC_ACT_INIT(4) VALUE 'INIT',

SABC_ACT_ACCEPT(6) VALUE 'ACCEPT',

SABC_ACT_CALL(4) VALUE 'CALL'.

· FILENAME

Name of the file that you want to access.

TYPE-POOLS SABC.

.....

CALL FUNCTION 'AUTHORITY_CHECK_DATASET'

EXPORTING PROGRAM = SY-REPID

ACTIVITY = SABC_ACT_READ

FILENAME = '/tmp/sapv01'

EXCEPTIONS NO_AUTHORITY = 1

ACTIVITY_UNKNOWN = 2.
