Application Server File Status

[Former Member]

Hi,

I'm trying to read a file from AL11 which is written by a standard program. I want to ensure that file is completely written on Appl. server by the standard program before I start reading that file from my Custom Program.

Kindly Tell me the method

Hi,

after writing data to Appl. Server Check the Sy-subrc value. Then you know the status.

Hi,

It is a standard SAP program, that writes the AL11 File, so we cant check the sy-subrc.

Hi,

I hope you are using 'TRANSFER rec TO '/usr/test.dat'.

' to write the file on application server.

Check sy-subrc after TRANSFER statement, if SY-SUBRC <> 0, it means data is not written on application server.

if there is no error, it means data is transferd.

Hi,

As standard program is writing to the application server file, it is not possible to know whether data transfer is completed or not.

If you know the total size of the file, then there is a possibility to find whether whole data is placed or not. Use

OPEN DATASET ..... AT POSITION p
