Naming file dynamically in Application server

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am uploading a file in application server using open data set. The application server path is given in the selection screen. How can i name the file dynamically while it is getting uploaded in the application server?

Hi Sri,

You can give it any name you want for a new file, so you just need to concatenate the path with whatever you want to name the file whatever you want, ie:

*concatenates path + constant "/myfile/" + system date

lv_file = |{ p_path }/myfile/{ sy-datum }|.

OPEN DATASET lv_file FOR OUTPUT.

Hi Shristi,

              Put your condition before your open dataset  code

If sy-name = x.

v_file = whatever name you want.

Endif.

OPEN DATASET v_file FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE.

Thanks.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

But the condition here is, multiple pdf are being generated and i have to give seperate names to each pdf and then upload it into al11.

Hi Shristi,

               So multiple pdf is displaying data from different internal tables right?

CASE 'PDF1'.

file = 'X'

OPEN DATASET v_file FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE.

TRANSFER `1234567890` TO file.

CLOSE DATASET file.

CASE 'PDF2'.

OPEN DATASET v_file FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE.

file = 'y'.

TRANSFER `1234567890` TO file.

CLOSE DATASET file.

and so on.

• You can concatenate file name with the system date (sy-datum) and system time (sy-uzeit) so that each and every file will be uniquely named.

As I said, you can concatenate whatever you want to file name.  You can concatenate sy-uname / sy-uzeit as mention before (just don't forget to use get time before this or you may have same uzeit and even this is not guaranteed), or you can create a counter variable and concatenate this counter as well (guaranteed you will not have same filename)
