Please check transaction: AL11 to view the files. If the directory does not exist, we can configure to view the files ...

If you need to transfer files across transaction CG3Y and CG3Z would be helpful.

No, they won't be on your PC, you need to have access to the machine in which the application server runs on. For example, if the application server name is TEST1234, you can try to access via windows explorer. Assuming that you are trying to access the \usr folder on the application server.

Type
TEST1234 into the address bar.

Now, depending on machine type, the \usr folder may be in a different place. In my case it is buried(we run AS/400).

What is the file path that you are writing to in your program?

HI,

you can use the transaction code <b>AL11</b> to check the files which are stored application server. there you can find the ddirectories, check your directroy and see your file.

if the file is a logical file, then use the transaction code <b>FILE</b> to check the fiels

thank you rich for your answer,

I absolutely have no idea what is the name of my application servern but i can see my file created through AL11. I wanted to ask what does the term physical file and logical file mean in terms of SAP. I mean the file i access through AL11, is it physical or logical?

thanks and regards,

Gaurav

The file u access through is the Application server(logical).

The physical server is your computer and u can store on it as well.
