Adding a Variable name to a filename in background processing

Former Member — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 15:37:20 GMT

Hi All, Currently when I run a background process I am giving it a file name of

file_name = '/tmp/END_CUST'.

CONCATENATE file_name '_' v_dat '_' v_tim '.txt' INTO file_name.

This works and shows the filename correctly. However before running the background processing, I choose a variant and would like to concatenate that name in to it as well. I am not having luck with this.

Try putting this into Intialization section.

file_name = '/tmp/END_CUST'.
CONCATENATE file_name '_' v_dat '_' v_tim '.txt' INTO file_name.

Change the file names as follows on the INITLISATION event of your Report. This will give you Exact results which you expect.

INITIALIZATION.
  CONCATENATE '\' sy-host 'WFNewHire_' sy-datlo  '_' sy-timlo '_SAP.dat' INTO p_hires.
  CONCATENATE '\' sy-host 'WFTerms_' sy-datlo '_' sy-timlo '_SAP.dat' INTO p_terms.

The variant name should be in the system variable SY-SLSET.

DATA: V_LEN TYPE I

file_name = '/tmp/END_CUST'.

V_LEN = STRLEN( SY-SLSET ).

CONCATENATE file_name '_' SY-SELST(V_LEN) '_' v_dat '_' v_tim '.txt' INTO file_name.

I am afraid none of the above has worked. Very weird.

Hi dipesh,

1. The current variant name is stored in system variable

<b>SY-SLSET</b>

2. Hence, you can concatenate it like this for eg.

file_name = '/tmp/END_CUST'.

CONCATENATE file_name '_' v_dat '_' v_tim '.txt' INTO file_name.

<b>concatenate file_name sy-slset into file_name.</b>
