Does we need to Create a file Before using Open dataSet

[Former Member]

Hi Guys,

Can any body tell me whether we have to create a File before using Open dataset for writing files in Application Server.

Can anybody write a program for EKPO table to store it in application Server using OpendatasSet ?Is there any specific care we have to take for Executing pgm in Background?

I wrote the pgm for Foreground using GUI- Download.

PGM.

*******

select * into table it_ekpo from ekpo .

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'

EXPORTING

filename ='c:\EKPO.xls'

filetype = 'ASC'

WRITE_FIELD_SEPARATOR = 'X'

TABLES

data_tab = it_ekpo

*fieldnames = l_heading

EXCEPTIONS

file_write_error = 1

no_batch = 2

gui_refuse_filetransfer = 3 .

Plzzzzzzzzz Make the changes for existing Pgm.any help is awarded with points.Its Urgent.

Thanks,

Gopi.

Hi

yes Create a file: p_file

and put your data in ITAB after fetching from table EKPO.

Open dataset p_file for appending in text mode.

if sy-subrc = 0.

loop at itab.

transfer itab to p_file.

endloop.

close dataset p_file.

endif.

Hi,

Here sample code to write data to app. server.

 DATA FILENAME(20) VALUE '/USR/TEMP/TEST.DAT'.

OPEN DATASET FILENAME FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE.
LOOP AT ITAB.                           " ITAB here is contains EKPO data
TRANSFER ITAB TO FILENAME.
ENDLOOP.
CLOSE DATASET FILENAME.

Hi,

open dataset <file> for output in text mode encoding non-unicode.

if sy-subrc eq 0.

loop at it_ekpo. "Internal Table with header line

transfer it_ekpo to <file>.

endloop.

close dataset <file>.

endif.

there are several changes you can make:

open dataset ... in legacy text mode.

or open .. fo appending.
