Hi,

<u>

Can anyone help me to find relevant document which supports the statement that file on presentation server cannot be uploaded into internal table when the program is run in bakground mode .

Also I find many replies from the experts are from help.sap.com. Can anyone tell me the best way to search through help.sap.to find the correct documentation. I am always lost in searching through this.

Regards,

Ben.

Daniel,

File located on the desktop can not be used for a background job. A background job cannot access your desktop.

Thanks,

If you look at the help of OPEN DATASET, you will find the following paragraph.

<i>Notes

The system must be able to reach the file from the current application server. You cannot edit files from the current presentation server. If you need to do this, use the function modules GUI_DOWNLOAD and GUI_UPLOAD.</i>

Hi Srinivas,

Yes, He did say that the file has to be accessed from the application server. But nowhere he did mention wether it has to be an foreground or background process .

In order to access a file in backgroud task, the file must reside on the appliation server, and you must use the DATASET statements to access it.

Hi Rich,

Can I use GUI_UPLOAD to transfer data from the presentation server to internal table and schedule the program in background ? Will that work or even this is also not posible ?

Regards,

Ben.

No, that will not work. It must run in the foreground. The background task knows nothing of the frontend, so how can it possibly know where to get the file?

Hi,

Use GUI_UPLOAD to transfer data from the presentation server to internal table and then use OPEN DATASET to transfer the data from internal table to application server

Hi Rich,

My requirement is like this : I have very huge text file which contains some 50,000 records . I WANT TO UPLOAD THIS INTO AN INTERNAL TABLE. Since the file is of huge size I want the program to scheduled to background.

Also I just want to look at the documentation which exactly explains this concept . I tried a lot surfing through help.sap.com but couldn't figure out .

Thanks,

Ben.

All you need to do is put the "huge" file on the application server, then use the DATASET statements to read and process it. Do it like this, will work in both foreground, and background, but the file MUST be on the application server.

ahhh jeezzz. Of course, there is always a way to do anything, but come on. We are talking about straight ABAP here. Nothing more. That said, there is no way to do it with just ABAP.
