Problem with open dataset

[Former Member]

Hi guys:

I have a problem when to use the statement OPEN DATASET, I need to create in unix directory the next file:

/ZXQ/sap_i_files/vhvc/data/T0010360.W0041201.YXSP PR DISC_new

But when I created the file this delete the spaces and the file appear that:

/ZXQ/sap_i_files/vhvc/data/T0010360.W0041201.YXSP

The next words disappear the file.

What I can do?

Best for advanced

1 Possible way will be check the output length of the file variable

say for eg.

OPEN DATASET ar_file FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT .

check ar_file variable length whether its accomodating full file name ?

The variables is:

newfile(128) type c.

I dont know if Ihave to added more length,

Just for testing remove the space between YXSP PR DISC and keep it as .(dot) or Underscore

/ZXQ/sap_i_files/vhvc/data/T0010360.W0041201.YXSP.PR.DISC_new

and check

When I to replace the space with _ or . , the file created is correct, but only when I want to use the spaces cut the length,

Then i think its Unix issue. For testing this use transaction code CG3Z and upload a file from your desktop to your Unix directory you mentioned with space in file name and check whether file created sucessfully with spaces
