DUMP DATASET_CANT_OPEN

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am executing a report which downloads data to a file using

<b>open dataset.</b>

<b>When executing in foreground,</b> the processing is done successfully and a message for file creation pops up.

The file name given is <b>/sap_shared/...</b> . But i m unable to locate this file in AL11.

Where is the file getting stored ??

Also <b> when executing in background </b> a dump is obtained that <b>dataset_cannnot_open.</b>

Why is this dump coming?

IS it that in background processing the server gets changed ?

TIA,

vartika

Hi,

I think You don't have autorization to place the file in that directory. Try to keep it in TEMP directory and see you still getting that problem or not.

Hi Vartika Gupta,

Just try to debug at open dataset by putting a break point.

and check the values there

some directories you can not see it in AL11, because basis people have to map . otherwise write a simple prg using open dataset for input and see the file. (This is one way to make sure your file is there, otherwise you can use utility prg for AL11, to browse app server)

I don't think it's an authorization issue, because you are able to run foreground. I don't think it's an issue with processing server, all the time it check for your authorization . as long as you have it you are okay.

Thanks
