Dear all,

There seems to be a problem in

OPEN DATASET lfile IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT FOR INPUT WITH SMART LINEFEED.

The above code works fine on OS400 operating system but when we execute the

same report on AIX platform the code is not getting executed. sy-subrc is returning the value 8.

Do we need to change the code for AIX.

Hi,

Code looks fine to me.

Check the file. If it at all exists or not. File path and name is case sensitive.

If you are getting any runtime error please let me know.

Hi,

     The file exists on the application server , while debugging i could see that the correct file is picked.

     There is no Dump.

   I am facing this problem in AIX

Hi,

Can you please check what is the Encoding format?

The class CL_ABAP_FILE_UTILITIES contains the method CHECK_UTF8 for determining whether a file is a UTF-8 file.

• A UTF-16 file can only be opened as a binary file.

hello,

You should always use text mode if you want to write strings to files or where you know that an existing file has a line construction.

can you check the structure of the file.
