Former Member — Tue, 08 Jan 2013 16:24:37 GMT

Hello experts,

I have an abap code to generate a csv file on a linux server (trough transcation AL11)

On the decalarion part, I found this:

DATA : c_file_path(60),
c_file_path_d(12) VALUE 'XXX',
c_file_path_f(11) VALUE '/XX/XX/XX'.

Could someone tell me for what thoses declarations stand for?

Thanks.

Share the piece of code where c_file_path_d and

c_file_path_f are being used.

Hi Felipe,

Here it is:

CONCATENATE c_file_path_d sy-sysid c_file_path_f INTO c_file_path.

Also share the part of code where c_file_path is used or look for commad "call 'SYSTEM' id 'COMMAND' " or "OPEN DATASET"

Felipe

Looks like a clumsy way of doing what you would normally do using logical filenames and the FILE transaction, e.g. incorporating a varying system ID (sy-sysid) in the path name for application server access.

By the way, could it be that you have the values of d and f mixed up in your first post? Are these placeholders or did you tell us the actual values?

Hi Thomas,

In fact those are placeholders...

Hi Felipe,

IF NOT c_file_path IS INITIAL.

CLEAR XXXXX.

CONCATENATE c_file_path 'XXX_'

code-company '_XXX_'

wa_tvarvc-low(4) wa_tvarvc-low+5(2) '.csv'

INTO fichier_sor.

OPEN DATASET fichier_sor FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.

IF sy-subrc EQ 0.

file_out = 'XXX,XXX,XXX'.

TRANSFER file_out TO fichier_sor.

Sorry for the placeholders,

Thanks.

So looks everything is clear now, those variables are just use to compose the file name and directory to be used in file transfer.
