copy/move file on application server

[Former Member]

Hey guys,

is there an easy way to copy/move a file from one directory on application server to an other directory? I know i could use the commands OPEN DATASET and so on. Is there an other way to do this via a function module?

thx,

M.

Hi,

You can use the below statement (For more details, refer F1 help).

Open dataset: Creates/Appends data to a file on application server

Read dataset: Reads the data from the existing file on application server

Transfer: Writes line by line on to the application server file.

Close dataset: Closes the file on application server

Delete dataset: Deletes the existing file on the application server.

Or check: CG3y and CG3Z transaction
