I think you haven't used the <b>lower case</b> additoin to the parameter for file. This will enable you to put the file name in the lower case.

parameters: p_file type char70 lower case.  " << LOWER CASE is required

Check the file path first.

Second check about your authorizatoin to open the file.

You need to have the authorization to open the file. Contact your Basis guys for that.

You can catch the Authority issue with CX_SY_FILE_AUTHORITY.

Ajay,

Sometimes you may get this error if you are not authorized to open the file. Please check with your basis people also.

Hi,

the path is case sensitive, so be careful.
