Read files starting with TEST* (for example)

[Former Member]

Hi all,

Is it possible to read all the files starting with TEST for example from the Unix folder.

Requirement is there will be files starting with TEST present in the default path x.

I need to read all the files starting with TEST from this path. So, basically in the selection screen, can I put the default filename as TEST*.

All these files will have POs(Purchase Orders) which the program needs to update accordingly.

Please assist.

Thanks and regards,

Hi,

You can get a list of all the files available in a specific folder.

Refer blog:

USE FM RZL_DIR_READ to read all the files from a specific location on UNIX server. It return the data in an internal table.

Now search out all the names required and use OPEN DATASET.

Hi Amit,

Thanks for the response.

I was unable to find the FM RZL_DIR_READ.

However, there is another FM RZL_READ_DIR. But this reads the directories of an application server.

Hi,

I had to do the same. Selecting all values from table comparing konzs that start with number 500* .

check the code:

   lv_var = '500'.
   CONCATENATE lv_var '%' INTO h_concern.

   SELECT * INTO TABLE t_lfa1
           FROM        lfa1
           WHERE     konzs LIKE h_concern.

Adibo.
