Error opening dataset, return code: 8

[Former Member]

Hi,

I'm passing the information from a txt to a transparente table. The problem is that it throws me the following message: Error opening dataset, return code: 8 .

When I debug it the first row of information enters to the internal table but after it this erro comes.

The code is the following:

DATA: BEGIN OF record,

• data element: TABNAME

tablename_001(030),

• data element: DESCR40

total_006(017),

END OF record.

Hi,

Error opening dataset, return code: 8 means the file could not be opened.

Could you please paste the codes for PERFORM open_dataset USING dataset and PERFORM open_group?

I'm using these performs because they appeared automatically when the recording became a program.

Hi,

Can you explain your problem in detail ? If the file is getting picked from the Presentation Server (FM Upoad) then why r you trying to use Open Dataset ?

Regards,

[Former Member]

You are uploading the data from presentation server and again opening another file, don't know why is this ? Are you manipulating with data from the application server file too...post your code fully...

Error opening dataset, return code 8 is because its undable to open the file in application server.

I rather prefer to upload the data from the application server file to an internal table and then do the manipulations in your code .

[Former Member]

How can it be that the program is unavaiable to get the data from the txt if the data appeas in the internal table? I believe the problem is when I try to move the data from the internal table to the transparent table.

[Former Member]

your Program flow is confusing...What is that you are doing after opening the file on the application server ?

Hi Lucila,

Please try this.

Hi,

If your return code is 8 measn you dont have authorization to write to that network location.

Ask your BASIS to check that.

I once faced the same problem.

Now I deleted the perform PERFORM open_dataset USING dataset and PERFORM close_dataset USING dataset. When I execute the program the following appears:

Open session Return code 0

Insert transaction SE16 Return code = 0 RECORD: 0

The insert transaction appears for every line of the txt. Doesn't that mean that the data traveled OK to the transparent table? But what happens is that it doesn't appear in that table.

[Former Member]

How can you insert the data directly to SE16 transaction ? I don't think you can write a BDC on it. Through the program using the SQL Statements you can add, delete or modify the data but not directly on se16.

[amit_khare]

Hi,

You cannot write BDC for SAPLSETB. Its a function pool and not a transaction/report program.

I think you want to upload data into some table, then use the Tcode for accordingly. BDC cannot be wriiten for Tcodes like SE11, SE12, SE16 etc.

make sure that the file is in application server and the delimeter in the file is same as the delimiter you specified in file.

plz check ur Application server path and dirctory on the application server .

is that dirctory is existed or not.

If that directory on the application server is existed then check that u are auth. to use that directory.

or u can take basis people help for that if u are not auth.

hope this help you.
