These FM's do not work. For this you need to do some settings to download the file to foreground while running the program in background. Search this forum there is one link for PDf given where we can actually configure RFC settings to do this.

Hi !

Having any acces to files on the frontend-pc is a service of SAP-Gui.

Because in background-scenario there's no SAP-Gui, there is no "easy" method to have access to frontend-pc-files.

You max think about the following:

Bring the file from the frontend to a directory from that

SAP can have access even in background (i.e. a directory on application-server).

Then run your programm in background using the "OPEN DATASET" statements.

If your file is on the application-server, take care that your batch-job is running on the same server or that the directory is mounted to the other application-serves !

Some points would be nice if that helped a bit.
