Open dataset not working

[manubhutani]

Hi Guru's

I am reading from the UNIX application server.

Even if I dont give the file name.Sy-subrc remains zero after open dataset.

I am giving this file path in initialization '/devabap/if/hcm/out/'

but after that i am not giving any file name.

OPEN DATASET p_infile FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.

IF sy-subrc = 0.

DO.

READ DATASET p_infile INTO wa_file.

IF sy-subrc = 0.

APPEND wa_file TO t_file.

ELSE.

EXIT.

ENDIF.

ENDDO.

ELSE.

MESSAGE i030 WITH p_infile.

ENDIF.

CLOSE DATASET p_infile.

Please help

Hi

I am reading a file from UNIX app server.

Even if i dont gve filename on sel screen.

after open dataset sy-subrc returns 0

i dont know y its returnig it and from where its reading the garbage values

My assumption would be - it reads dierctory as File,so whatever under directory ,it shows data.

open dataset will give sy-subrc eq 0 ,if file opens ,so here directory becomes file and it is opening.

Thanks

Hi Manu,

What might be happening is the path which u r giving......<b>at that path a dir mite be existing...</b>So u can use 2 separate FM to identify this.... <b><i>Use the following piece of code</b></i>&----

*& Form sub_file_presence_check

• Checking the existence of the file on application server
