Error creating file with open dataset in text mode

[Former Member]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a file with the following instruction:

OPEN DATASET '/tmp/200808200905.txt' in text mode message msg.

When this instruction is executed the sy-subrc is equal to 8 and msg variable says 'No such file or directory', then the next instruction is:

TRANSFER 'xxx' TO '/tmp/200808200905.txt', and this instruction woks fine, sy-subrc = 0 and the file is created but as the documentation says the file is created in binary mode but I need in text mode.

Anyone can help me?

Thanks.

Juan.

try this way and see..

data: file type rlgrap-filename.

file = ''/tmp/200808200905.txt' .

OPEN DATASET file for output in text mode message msg encoding default.
