Hi Gopi,

You can use CG3Y/CG3Z transactions to download/upload the file from AL11

if you want to code it in program, you can use

OPEN DATASET <Filename>......

READ DATASET

CLOSE DATASET.

Hi Gopi,

Try this also,

Use this function module 'DX_FILE_WRITE' for create file to application server.

Hi chandra,

The File is not in AL11 which means it is not in the SAP Application Server.. It is in a seperate Server.

Hi Gopi,

First you need to copy the file from Non-SAP Server to SAP Application server using file transfer machanism (FTP etc..).

once the file is transfered, use AL11 to view the file in the respective path where you stored the file (some time you can't view all the data in the file in AL11)

use the transaction CG3Y to download the file from SAP APP server to desktop and view the file.

use the transaction CG3Z to upload the file from desktop to SAP APP server.
