After running the check extract creation program RFCHKE00 and file is placed in the IFS. Using open dataset input in text mode and read dataset into, I am having a problem where the read brings in one record for the entire file. The SAP file is 128 bytes but the read dataset does not recognize the individual records, I think the file does not contain end of record characters. Is there a better way to retreive the file?</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 15 Nov 2006 15:40:12 GMT https://community.sap.com/t5/application-development-and-automation-discussions/reading-a-file-using-open-dataset-read-dataset-returing-one-long-string/m-p/1725242#M316284 Former Member 2006-11-15T15:40:12Z Re: Reading a file using open dataset, read dataset returing one long string https://community.sap.com/t5/application-development-and-automation-discussions/reading-a-file-using-open-dataset-read-dataset-returing-one-long-string/m-p/1725243#M316285 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>u have to use dataset only...after read entire string, u can do a split and move data to internal table.</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 15 Nov 2006 15:42:36 GMT https://community.sap.com/t5/application-development-and-automation-discussions/reading-a-file-using-open-dataset-read-dataset-returing-one-long-string/m-p/1725243#M316285 Former Member 2006-11-15T15:42:36Z
