Check with the path whether the spelling is correct or not. because for application server, you should give the path as it is(check where u have upper casse and lower case.)

data: P_file like rlgrap-fielname.

p_file = '/usr/sap/SPE/DVEBMGS00/work/ZPSPAR35_PERS_UP.TXT'.

Here is a sample that works for me.

report zrich_0001.

Parameters: d1 type localfile default '/usr/sap/TST/SYS/Data1.txt'.

data: begin of itab occurs 0,
      rec(200) type c,
      end of itab.
data: wa(200) type c.


start-of-selection.

  open dataset d1 for <b>input</b> in text mode.
  if sy-subrc = 0.
    do.
      read dataset d1 into wa.
      if sy-subrc <> 0.
        exit.
      endif.
      itab-rec = wa.
      append itab.
    enddo.
  endif.
  close dataset d1.

Hi chiya,

1. In unix/aix OS,

the file names with directory paths,

are CASE SENSITIVE.

Hence, checkout on that.

2. What is the value of sy-subrc

just immediate after open dataset.

Possibly it cannot find the file

(because of upper case / lower case)

amit m.

Hi use this one.

PARAMETERS: P_FILE LIKE RLGRAP-FILENAME.

AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR P_FILE.

CALL FUNCTION 'F4_FILENAME'

EXPORTING

PROGRAM_NAME = SYST-CPROG

DYNPRO_NUMBER = SYST-DYNNR

• FIELD_NAME = ' '

IMPORTING

FILE_NAME = P_FILE

.
