open dataset error

Former Member — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 10:28:18 GMT

Hi Gurus,

If i give the other folder name it is working fine.. Please can you let me know what is the problem.

I am not able to write a file into the particular folder in the application server.

I am getting the sy-subrc eq 8.

Does it require any authorization to write into a folder.

if not please let me know the solution how to solve.

Thanks

Sunil Kumar

Hi,

Write authorization is needed for the folder.

Check whether the path exists

Are you getting the path using f4, if not try with f4 hep and do.

Try with fm F4_DXFILENAME_TOPRECURSION

Generally sy-subrc = 8, is when the file path could not be located.

The path name is also case sensitive.

Hi Keshav,

I am not accessing the file from personal file. i am trying to access from the application server.

hence i cannot use the f4help and get the path of the folder.

thanks

Sunil

What do you mean by a personal file, this fm is used for application server f4 help.

Ask ur BASIS guys to set the file permissions to open and write the data. Other wise u can't do it.

Use the fm AUTHORITY_CHECK_DATASET before using open dataset to check for authorizations.

I doubt that there is something wrong in the path.

hi,

do you use full qual domain name ??

ie:
server.sub.domain\dir\dirsub\file.ext

with open dataset you work with SERVICEADM User .. anyway > you have all rights...

solved myself by changing the select option to parameter.
