Hello,

1) Check if your profile has valid authorizations to create a file in AL11

2) Check if you are passing the correct path, which is case sensitive

Subrc 8 means file couldn't be opened hence check whether the given file name and path is correct or not. File is opening in read mode then there won't be any issue with the access rights.

Hello Krupajani,

Welcome back. Hope atleast now you would follow the forum rules. Else the same thing may happen again.
