Data Upload

[Former Member]

Hi,

I was wondering if we can read a text file from the desktop using the statement,

OPEN DATASET p_file FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.

I know i can use some function modules like upload, WS_upload or the gui_upload, but can the same requiremtn be statisfied using the open data set statement for text file on the local computer.

Please let me know,

Ster.

u can't use open dataset to upload data from presentation server.... Open dataset is used to upload data from application server only. this is how SAP has provided functionality.
