Hi,

I think you'll need to use OPEN DATASET and then check SY-SUBRC.

FILE_VALIDATE_NAME requires a logical file name, so basically you can't.

The "i dont want to use logical file name" is the root cause of the SCI error message, for security reasons (counter the threat of filepath traversal) you have to define (and respect) a logical file name?
