DATA: i_file like rlgrap-filename value '/usr/sap/tmp/file.txt'.

    OPEN DATASET i_file FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE.
    IF sy-subrc NE 0.
      MESSAGE e999(za) WITH 'Error opening file' i_file.
    ENDIF.
    DO.

Thank You all for the quick replies,

But in my selection screen, i have 2 fields for the file name.

1. Logical File name for Upload

2. Upload file name.

I am confused with the logical filename. Can anybody please tell me what this could be?

hi Bijesh ,

generally there are 2 types of files , one is logical files , these are nothing but files present in the presentation server , and the 2nd one is sequential files , whioch are files prsent on the Application server .

I think in your case , the Upload file name is the sequential file name which should be present on the application server .

Check the txn CG3Y and may be you can understand from there .

HI

YOu should use a logical file name.

Use transaction FILE to define your logical file name, and in the file-name

field you can specify the variable values you want to use in the filename, like

the <DATE>.

Then, in your abap use function module FILE_GET_NAME_AND_LOGICAL_PATH with your

logical filename, and the function module will return a FILE_NAME and

LOGICAL_PATH that you can use with OPEN DATASET ... FOR OUTPUT.
