OPEN DATASET max. record length

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We have a requirement to write some data in to a file on Application Server and the length of each line/record could go beyond 600 Characters. But we find that in ECC 6.0 system, it does get truncated at 512 Characters for each line.

Does anyone have an idea of how to write a line more than 512 in length in to a file on the Application Server!

OPEN DATASET w_c_file FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.

TRANSFER wa_header-list TO w_c_file.

Warm Regards,

HI rajendran.

It doesn't truncate .

It happens that you see only a part of the line in AL11, but it does have the total data.

YOu can download the file to presentation server using the Transaction: cg3y

and see for your self.

Hi Ravi,

Thanks a lot for replying.

But then when I tried downloading using <b>CG3Y</b>, it doesn't show the full line either.

In fact, when I try to save I find that it truncates at 256 Characters itself.

Hi Ravi,

I tried downloading in ASCII format using CG3Y and it truncates at 256 Characters.

But it displays the whole line/record when I try downloading in BINARY format !!

Any idea why is that...
