Creating a Logical File name with a Parameter

[Former Member]

Hello,

I am trying to create a logical file name (transaction FILE) using a parameter in the Physical file name. SAP has one delivered with the system called

EDI_GLOBAL_PATH

The physical path is

<P=SAPMSHOST>\sap<SYSID>root\usr\sap\<SYSID>\SYS\global\<FILENAME>

I am trying to create my own using the same parameter <P=SAPMSHOST> however i get and error "Profile parameter SAPMSHOST is unknown" . This parameter exists in the profile for the system.

Does anyone know a fix for this or what might be missing ? ( this is NW 7.0 , ECC 6.0 EHP3)

Thanks,

Brad

Do you get a physical path name with FM FILE_GET_NAME_USING_PATH (Generate a complete file name with file name and logical path)?

I have not been doing any abap calls, I cant get past creating the logical definition in the transaction "FILE"

In that transaction i cannot save the physical file definition for the logical file because i can't get pass this error
