Looks fine, what kind of file are you using? Can you see anything in the DATA_TAB?

HI,

is your text file a tab delimited or comma seperated.. ensure that it is tab delimited.. and also ensure that the lenth of the fields in the internal table are correct.

Thanks

the File Path is correct.

I am not getting any error.But its taking some bogus data.

Its a .txt file.I am uploading the data as a dump into the internal table.

What could be the problem?

Not sure, but you shouldn't be using that function module anyway, use GUI_UPLOAD instead.



report zrich_0002.


data: itab type table of string with header line.


call function 'GUI_UPLOAD'
     exporting
          filename   = 'c:test.txt'
     tables
          data_tab   = itab.

loop at itab.
  write:/ itab.
endloop.

Hi,

if the filename is wrong then Use the following code to search filename before Start-of-selection:

PARAMETERS: p_file TYPE rlgrap-filename DEFAULT text-003,

AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR p_file.

CALL FUNCTION 'F4_FILENAME'

EXPORTING

program_name = syst-cprog

dynpro_number = syst-dynnr

IMPORTING

file_name = p_file.

VA_FILEPATH = p_file.

I have to run the upload program in the background.

I saw a note in the net that when we schedule the job in the backgroung we use either WS_UPLOAD or OPEN DATA_SET according to the value of the system variable SY-BATCH.Is it true?

You can NOT use use WS_UPLOAD to upload in background, you need to use the DATASET statements when working with files in background. These files must also reside on the application server, and not on your frontend PC.

Sorry, I meant that you CAN NOT use that function in background, you must use DATASET statements and the files must be on the appliation server directory not on the frontend PC.
