lsmw error 'Specify Files first' while executing option 'Read Data'.

Former Member — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 08:07:23 GMT

Hi All,

while trying to create mass users through LSMW, i am gettign the error 'Specify Files first' while executing option 'Read Data'.

I have specified file (.txt), manually created (with'1 tab space' between each term). i have used option 'On the PC(Frontend)'. No error while saving.

Next- i have executed 'Assign Files', where the file appeared automatically.

Next- Here, when i try to execute 'Read Data', i get the error 'Specify Files first'.

Can anyone help in resolving this error.

Hello Plaban,

What is your purpose? Are you tring to upload the data with more file variant?

There are two possibilities to make file names more variable:

1.If you choose system dependent file names by setting the according flag (in the first step 'Maintain object attributes'), you can define file names for each system in step 'Specify files' by assigning the files to a specific system ID (with a double-click on the specified file).

2.You can use wildcards in the file names where you can assign several values.

I hope this helps you.

Regards,

Blanca
