Hi Prajwal,

LOOP at i_files.

CONCATENATE p_dir

i_files-name

INTO myfilename separated by '/'.

CONDENSE myfilename NO-GAPS.

OPEN DATASET myfilename FOR INPUT

MESSAGE l_msg

IN text MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.

F_RCODE = sy-subrc.

IF F_RCODE <> 0.

*Error handling

regards,

Sai

Hi Prajwal..

This is the Example code:

PARAMETERS: P_FILE(30) DEFAULT 'Mat.txt'.

Data : begin of It_Mat occurs 0,

Matnr type mara-matnr,

Mtart type mara-mtart,

End of IT_Mat.

Start-of-selection.

Select matnr mtart from mara

into table it_mat.

**To write the data in file

Open dataset p_file for OUPUT

IN TEXT MODE encoding default.

if sy-subrc <> 0.

exit.

endif.

Loop at it_mat.

Transfer it_mat to p_file.

endloop.

Close dataset p_file.

• To read the Data from file

Open dataset p_file for INPUT

IN TEXT MODE encoding default.

if sy-subrc <> 0.

exit.

endif.

do .

READ DATASET P_FILE INTO IT_MAT.

IF SY-SUBRC NE 0. "END OF FILE

EXIT.

ENDIF.

ENDDO.

CLOSE DATASET P_FILE.

OPEN DATASET dset FOR access IN mode [position]

[os_addition]

[error_handling].

Effect

This statement opens the file specified in dset for the access specified in access in a storage mode specified in mode. For dset, a character-type data object is expected, which contains the platform-specific name of the file.

Use the additions position, os_addition, and error_handling to determine the position at which file is opened, specify platform-specific additions, and influence error handling.

In Unicode programs, the access and storage modes access and mode must be specified explicitly. If the additions are missing in non-Unicode programs, the file is opened implicitly as a binary file for read access.

In Unicode programs, the file must not yet be open in the current program; otherwise a treatable exception occurs. In non-Unicode programs, the file may already be open. The statement OPEN DATASET then does not reopen the file but moves the read or write position depending on the access mode. In this case, you should not change the access or storage mode.

Note

You can open up to 100 files per internal session. The actual maximum number of simultaneously open files may be less, depending on the platform.

Return Value

sy-subrc Description

0 File was opened.

8 Operating system could not open file.

Open DATASET dsn FOR OUTPUT in BINARY MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.

Reward points if useful else getbk,

Aleem.

hi

thanks to all for u r reply...... Please tell me where exactly file is stored.

and what is the difference b/w<b> open and download FM</b>

Regards

[Former Member]

Hi Prajwal,

Using open dataset you can either create a file in the application server or read a file from application server.

for creating a file following is the syntax,

<b>data:filename(1024) type c value 'APPLFILE.TXT'</b><b>open dataset filename for output in text mode encoding default</b>.

This command creates a file in the application server with name APPLFILE.TXT.If a file already exists with the same name,it will be overwritten.

Now consider internal table i_error has certain data and yo need to upload it to application server.Following is the code.

<b>DATA : l_filestring TYPE string.

CLASS cl_abap_char_utilities DEFINITION LOAD.

CONSTANTS: con_tab TYPE c VALUE cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.

OPEN DATASET filename FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.

LOOP AT i_error.

CONCATENATE

i_error-type i_error-bptext

i_error-name_first i_error-distrib

i_error-pricing

INTO l_filestring SEPARATED BY con_tab.

TRANSFER l_filestring TO filename.

CLEAR l_filestring.

ENDLOOP.

CLOSE DATASET filename.</b>

The above code will create a tab delimited file in the application server.

file gets stored in application server.To view it, go to transaction AL11.

Yo will find DIR/TEMP.Double click on it.in the next page you can see the file

[Former Member]

hi,

The output is stored in the Application Server.

The TCode for it AL11.

Goto AL11 and give the path which u opened and check the filename and u can find ur output there.
