OPEN DATASET Problem

[Former Member]

Hello All,

I am just trying to open the file and read from file.

While opening with OPEN DATASET statement, it is giving the error. The error code is: sy-subrc=8. The file location is my local drive. Can you help?

The following is the code:

DATA:

g_dsn(30) VALUE 'C:\SI1061003'.

The open statement is:

OPEN DATASET g_dsn FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE.

Thanks for the help,

Sobhan.

Hi,

Does the file store in PC?

If your file is stored in PC, please use FM GUI_UPLOAD instead.

If it is stored in application server then you can use OPEN DATASET statement.

Hi,

Use GUI_UPLOAD function module for getting the data from a local file..

Hello Sobhan Annepu

Open dataset concept is to open a file on the application server and not on your local drive.

Instead use GUI_UPLOAD FM.

OPEN DATASET is used when file is in application server

pls use GUI_UPLOAD or GUI_DOWNLOAd if the file is in ur PC

hello ,

while storing files in application server, u could n't predict operating system, so don't mention the path..

try this piece of code...

PARAMETERS:

P_FNAME(20) TYPE C DEFAULT 'MYFILE.TXT'.

OPEN DATASET P_FNAME

FOR OUTPUT

IN TEXT MODE

ENCODEING DEFAUT.

IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.

WRITE 'FILE OPENED'.

TRANSFER SY-UNAME TO P_FNAME.

ENDIF.

CLOSE DATASET P_FNAME.
