Does Directory Parameter in AL11 effect functional programs?

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a dump when executing a program saying that file is not open when the statement is trying to close the dataset.

Executiong the same program on an other platform is working well.

When compairing the directory parameters in AL11 transaction, I can see that the '/' parameter (where my file is supposed to be /data/../.../<my_file>) is not set (absent) in the first platform where I have the dump but well set on the 2nd platform

Could this be the reason why I am getting this dump?

Thanks.

Hi Amin,

No, AL11 does not affect programs. Check the return code of the open dataset statement before executing the close dataset.

Hi Amin,

AL11 just show directory mapping in SAP Server.

If you have different servers, both must have the same directory mapped to work properly in your program.

Talk to your Basis team to check this.

AL11 just shows folder and files, unless you double click the file to open it. in case you do it wont interrupt current programming.
