READ DATASET PROBLEM

[Former Member]

Hi all,

Using the code to read file data

DATA : Len type i,

str_name type string.

READ DATASET name INTO str_name LENGTH len .

but it only reads first 155 characters i.e. length is always 155 not more that that but as per requirement wants to read more that 155 charcters.

Any suggestions welcome,

hi,

Check out if it works by removing LENGTH.

i.e,

READ DATASET name INTO str_name .

Still problem exist.....

1) Checked after removing len

2) Make it TYPE char512

DO.

READ DATASET p_ufile INTO in_file.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

EXIT.

ENDIF.

APPEND in_file.

CLEAR in_file.

ENDDO.

Hi Navdeep,

use the following declarations:

data:

str_name type char512,

name type sxpgcolist-parameters.

This should solve the problem..

Thanks

READ for Files

Reads a file.

Syntax

READ DATASET <dsn> INTO <f>

[MAXIMUM LENGTH <maxlen>]

[ACTUAL LENGTH <len>].

Reads the contents of the file <dsn> on the application server to the variable <f>. The amount of data can be specified using MAXIMUM LENGTH. The number of bytes transferred can be written to <len> using ACTUAL LENGTH.

Regards,

Priya.
