Open Dataset Error

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

I am trying to create a file using open dataset. Application server is Windows 2003. I mapped a network location as a drive, network drive. But when i try to open data set it says "No such file or directory". I mapped the drive using administrator user.But it fails. I tried also "
192.168.6.7\" like this. How can i solve this problem?

Hello,

I mapped a network location as a drive, network drive.

If you have mapped it in your computer as a shared drive & you have the privileges to access the drive then try using GUI_UPLOAD / GUI_DOWNLOAD FMs.

Hi

Please check this might not be the exact path for your application server.OPEN DATASETs are only used to access to application server paths where you have acesss.

Try using GUI_UPLAOD/DOWNLAOD.

Thanks & Regards

I mapped drive on application server. Network path is mapped on server as "R" drive. On the server side i can access it using drive letter "R". But when i tried to access it from abap side using open dataset it fails.

Hi Erhan,

You need to take care to give file path in lowercase.

Use TRANSLATE statement before OPEN DATASET.

I just tried translate command but it fails again. I used
192.168.6.7 for file location it gived me error "Invalid argument".

Hi Erhan,

Try specifying the folder path....

Like
usr\sap\trans\

TRANSLATE statement is for translating characters and not numbers...
