hey,

thanks for your reply.

actually i want my program to work in 46B and 620Basis system with same piece of code.

so i used below statement.

If SY-SAPRL < 620.

OPEN DATASET FPATH FOR APPENDING IN TEXT MODE.

Else.

OPEN DATASET FPATH FOR APPENDING IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.

Endif.

Hi,

To check the basis version - check the following code

DATA: it_comptab LIKE TABLE OF spam_cvers.

data: wa_comptab LIKE spam_cvers.

CALL FUNCTION 'OCS_GET_INSTALLED_COMPS'

TABLES

tt_comptab = it_comptab

EXCEPTIONS

no_release_found = 1

wrong_release = 2

OTHERS = 99.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

read table it_comptab into wa_comptab with key component = 'SAP_BASIS'.

write:wa_comptab-component.

write wa_comptab-release.

In the above code, the output will be -

SAP_BASIS 46C

with this code, try comparing the basis version with the variable wa_comptab-release.

Hope this code helps ur problem.

Revert in case of any issues else award points.

Regards,

Hi~ ambi

You need to explain more detail what you want~

I thougt you had an answer for your previous question.

I think SY-SAPRL works at 46B,46C, 620 basis.

Anyway, you said your code has compile error.

what's <b>encoding default</b>. I couldn't find any help file for that.

why don't you get rid of encoding default~

It works after getting rid of the code 'encoding default'.

Hello,

Your syntax error is to be expected. The statement you have written in the else part of your code -

OPEN DATASET FPATH FOR APPENDING IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT

is not applicable for a 46B system. That is becasue, the ENCODING addition will not be available in 46B and the system will give you a syntax error.

Hope you are able to see the point.

In this case, you will not be able to write a program that works on both 46B and 620 Basis systems.

At best, you can write another program in your 620 Basis system.
