Read dataset - read data randomly

[Former Member]

Dear All,

I am facing a strange problem while reading data through READ DATASET statement.

The data is getting read randomly from the file.

For example, if my text file contains 10,000 records, i am able to see around 800 in my internal table.

Also, with read dataset statement, sometimes first record gets read, second time fifth record and so on. There is no particular order.

Read dataset statement is skipping a lot of records while reading data from the file.

Has anyone face this problem earlier?

Any clue in this direction will be highly appreciated.

Many thanks.

Best Regards,

Tarun

Hi,

how you are looking your input file, if it is in NOTEPAD check menu option 'Format----> Word wrap' is unchecked and then see the how many entries are there in the file.
