OPEN DATASET I_FILE FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.

[Former Member]

Hello I have tried open a file but this file is .CSV and I have problems because in my code sy-subrc = 8 so the file is not open ok.

I think that the problem is that I have to use a .CSV file .

PARAMETERS: I_FILE(80)
DEFAULT 'C:**.csv' OBLIGATORY.
.
 OPEN DATASET I_FILE FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.

  IF SY-SUBRC NE 0. 
    MESSAGE ID 'BC420' TYPE 'E' NUMBER '101' WITH I_FILE.
  ENDIF.

If somebody can help me , please.

Thanks a lot

Open Dataset is for opening a file on the apllaction server, und your default make me think you are trying to open a file on the presentation server. Try using method gui_upload of class cl_gui_front_end_services instead of open dataset.

This could be access/authorization issues.
