logical path

[Former Member]

hi

how can i see contents of my logical file

with Z namespace , which is being created in TRANSACTION FILES

how AL11 and File transaction s differ

thanks in advance .

every logical file name consists of its physical file path.

you have to check your file contents in AL11.

first get the physical path for your logical path using FILE transaction. there goto "logical path definitions' here you check what is its physical path. then goto AL11 then go to that particular path.

or to get the physical path for the given logical path, use the FM "FILE_NAME_GET_PATH"(check this in se37,as i am not very sure about the full name of the Function module).

FILE transaction is used to create/change/delete logical paths,variables,& system (operating system) etc..

but AL11 is the transaction, to see the files existing in the applicatioo server & its contents

Hi Praveen,

Generally we use FILE transaction to create the logical path for actual file path inorder to support the different operating system. For example in some operating systems the file path will be supported dir/file1, in some other it will supported as dir\file1.

To avoid this coflict we use file trasaction. AE11 is used to read file contents.
