access text file and internal table

Former Member — Mon, 26 Jun 2006 10:08:00 GMT

HI All,

How can we access a text file that is created by downloading data from an internal table in 4.7 through ECC5.0 ( without using middleware like XI or etc )

How can we access an internal table of a z program in 4.7 from ECC 5.0

Basically my requirement is based on accessing data from 4.7 to ECC 5.0

Plz share ur ideas on this.

rgds,

anil.

1) Ifthe file is on a local machine, then you can uise the function module

GUI_UPLOAD

2) If your file is on application server,

you need to use

open dataset for input

read dataset

close dataset commands in abap.

HI Ravi,

thanks for ur reply.

how we can access the file on 4.7 server from ecc5.0 with fn module gui_upload. both are different machines...right?

u mean to say that in the text file path has to be given like //ipaddress/filename.txt

u mean the same??

Hi Sathish,

if you dont mind me answering

GUI_UPLoad is only used when the file is in the same pc from where it is called .

If it is on a different server or on the application server then please use like this

Here the filename should be where your file is on the server

OPEN DATASET (filename) IN TEXT MODE

READ DATASET (filename) INTO wa.

IF sy-subrc ne 0.

exit.

endif.
