Error reading file with function module RZL_READ_DIR_LOCAL

[Former Member]

Hi,

I'm having a problem reading files from the application server using function module RZL_READ_DIR_LOCAL. The function module returns the exception NOT_FOUND when I call it to read a file that I known is on the server at the path specified. I traced the problem to system function call - ALERTS in the function module. Your help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Works fine for me. make sure you have access to that directory.

directory path should be as follows:

wlappserver\directory\

Where directory is a share created on the app Server. I assume SAPSERVICE user should have access to this directory as well.

Are you calling it from SE37 or a custom program? It doesn't seem to work from SE37.

(Yes it does - you have to check "case sensitivity".)

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestions. I checked the function module again and it seems that it is returning the data from the file via the table parameter even though the exception NOT_FOUND is thrown. Is this normal for this function module?

Normal? I don't think it's possible. Please re-check your analysis.

OK - you sent me an e-mail with a screen shot showing what you described.

1) I guess it is possible - this FM is not released for customer use, so you use it at your own peril. Maybe ALERTS doesn't return a non-zero return code if it doesn't find anything.

2) You hadn't selected upper/lower case like I first suggested. Unix files are case sensitive.

3) There must be somnething else going on here:

  call 'ALERTS'  id 'ADMODE'       field ad_rzl
                 id 'OPCODE'       field rzl_op_rd_dir
                 id 'FILE_NAME'    field full_name
                 id 'DIR_TBL'      field line_tbl-*sys*.

  case sy-subrc.
    when 0.   loop at line_tbl.
                file_tbl-size = line_tbl(11).
                file_tbl-name = line_tbl+12.
                append file_tbl.
              endloop.
    when others.  raise not_found.
  endcase.

I think file_tbl is somehow retaining entries from a previous execution.

Hi
