Regarding Dataset

Former Member — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 04:46:30 GMT

Hi Friends,

I have one scenario, i need a little bit help on that.

The scenario is that i have to read the last line of a file and check whether there is a special charater or not. If the special character is found , i should edit the file from the previous line .

Thanks and Regards

Is it a local or a sequential file?

It is a sequential file which is on an application server.

read the whole file (read dataset file) and store everything in a temporary internal table.

Once the file is read, read the last line of the internal table.

e.g. internal table = itab

describe table itab lines lv_lines.

read table itab index lv_lines.
