data : G_AFILE1(100) TYPE C,

G_DATA(1000) TYPE C,

G_DELIM TYPE C VALUE CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB.

DATA: BEGIN OF T_INPUT OCCURS 0, " Flat file data

PERNR(9) TYPE C,

AMOUNT(15) TYPE C,

W_TYPE(5) TYPE C,

END OF T_INPUT.

OPEN DATASET G_AFILE1 FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.

IF SY-SUBRC = 0.

DO.

READ DATASET G_AFILE1 INTO G_DATA.

IF SY-SUBRC = 0.

SPLIT G_DATA AT G_DELIM INTO T_INPUT-PERNR T_INPUT-AMOUNT

T_INPUT-W_TYPE .

IF SY-SUBRC = 0.

APPEND T_INPUT.

CLEAR T_INPUT.

Hi Soumya,

If u want to place the file from local path to application server use Tcode CG3Z and download to logical path..

*then in the program to read that file

*also check Tcode FILE to know the path

PARAMETERS:

p_path TYPE rlgrap-filename OBLIGATORY,"physical path

p_file TYPE rlgrap-filename . "filename

DATA : lv_path(256) TYPE c,

lv_opfile(30) TYPE c,

lv_op(8) TYPE c VALUE 'OUTPUT_',

lv_str(30) TYPE c.

• Getting the I/P and O/P Files Complete Paths

MOVE p_path TO lv_path.

MOVE p_file TO lv_path+128(128).

CONDENSE lv_path NO-GAPS.

v_inputfile = lv_path.

OPEN DATASET v_inputfile FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.

do.

read dataset v_inputfile into wa.

if sy-subrc ne 0. exit. endif.

*append to itab

enddo.

then use the BDC technique as required..

Dear Sowmmya,

There are many FM's to upload text file. Like GUI_UPLOAD etc.

As such you can get more details on BDC from

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/fa/097119543b11d1898e0000e8322d00/frameset.htm

Transaction AL11 lists file in your SAP directories. Are you trying to use it to locate the file you uploaded??? I couldn't gather the last part.

Regards,

Deva.
