Hey guys,

Can we read a particular row from a file in the appn server.I dont want to read the whole file but just need to read contents of a row into a string.It is a .xls file.

Is this possible?

Ankit,

Am not sure about we can read a perticuler line from App server.

you have to read only entire file first then do nesserry functions by reading perticuler line by using open dataset command.

hiii

use code given below.it will solve your problem

OPEN DATASET FNAME FOR inPUT in text mode encoding default.
LOOP AT TAB INTO LIN.  *** here give index number or condition
  READ DATASET FNAME INTO LIN.
  IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
    EXIT.
  ENDIF.
  WRITE: / LIN-COL1, LIN-COL2.
  ENDLOOP.

here in the above code use condition or index with LOOP & read particular line.

reward if useful

thx
