Checking the file content in application server

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am writing an XML file from the raw XSF data from a smartform auto generated function module through OPEN DATASET command in BINARY MODE. When I go to tcode AL11 to check the content of the XML file, I can see only the first few bytes of it as it looks like one single line in AL11. Is there any way so that I can read the whole content of the file in the application server itself without downloading it into my local machine.

Thanks in advance

Hi Nilay

You can use "READ DATASET" statement to read files on the application server into an internal table.

You may try eigther transaction AL11 with allows you to browse files and display their content(as long they are textfiles).

If you need specific conversion an own report may help:

• first read the file via dataset commands

• if content is non readable convert it to chars

• split the string into a char or string table

• use the command 'editor-call' (check online help) to display this table.

Kind Regards
