but it displays weird result

this is my coding:

DATA:

dsn(40) TYPE c VALUE '/exchange/DEV',

rec(100) TYPE c.

OPEN DATASET dsn FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

EXIT.

ENDIF.

READ DATASET dsn INTO rec.

WHILE sy-subrc = 0.

WRITE / rec. READ DATASET dsn INTO rec.

ENDWHILE.

CLOSE DATASET dsn.

the problem is: rec contains #/###########################'#########D#############Ae#####ae#################o###d##################

how can i get these results as per the folder

Hi Ester

Are you trying to get the list of folders in the specified path or file contents? As per your code i see it as you are reading file DEV in the folder.

Ester,

DATA: dsn(40) TYPE c VALUE '/exchange/DEV',

ifile type table of salfldir with header line.

call function 'RZL_READ_DIR_LOCAL'

exporting

name = dsn

tables

file_tbl = ifile

exceptions

argument_error = 1

not_found = 2

others = 3.

loop at ifile.

write:/ ifile-name.

endloop.

Don't forget to reward if useful....

As Murali provided, you can use FM: RZL_READ_DIR_LOCAL to ge the directory contents.

But it retreives both files and directories as well.

For each of the contents, pass it to FM: EPS_GET_FILE_ATTRIBUTES to determine whether it is a directory or a file.
