Hi Rakesh,

I don;t know if we have any FM...

If the file is only once a day, then just have date stamp on your legacy file and in your Logical filepath, include the <sy-datum>. Then your variant will pick the correct file from the logical filepath.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

take help of your visual basic guy. he can create some executable files such that you will get all files in directory( in your case u will get only one file).

Using standard variant function module you can change the variants just before your actuall progra is run.

CALL 'C_DIR_READ_START'

ID 'DIR' FIELD dir_name

ID 'FILE' FIELD file_mask

ID 'ERRNO' FIELD file-errno

ID 'ERRMSG' FIELD file-errmsg.
