Type READ on your ABAP editor then put cursor on top of READ and press F1 key. Select the READ DATASET option. The Help has sample code.

Hi,

If the file is created once in a day..Why do you have time in the filename..

To solve this issue..

you can create a logical file name in the FILE transaction..

You can give parameter in the filename..

Then use the function module FILE_GET_NAME by passing the logical file name and SY-DATUM in the PARAMETER_1 parameter...

It will give the physical filename..

Thanks,
