Sequential datasets are the files that are stored on the Application server of the R/3 system.

This link gives you a whole picture.

I assume you are clear about the concepts of Application Server and the Presentation server.

some times the data that has to be transfered in SAP comes in the form of Files. So these files have to be read, processed (if required) and then have to be passed either to transactions or some Function Modules.

These files can be on App Server or on Presentation server.

To read file from App server you do Open dataset, close dataset and read data set.

To read files form Pres Server... there are FMs available GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD.

This is the general.. If u want some thing in specific.. Please feel free to ask...

Sequential files are nothing but the files which are on the app server. we retrieve/transfer to/from these into the internal table using the open dataset statements.

files on the presentation server are called as local files. we upload/download the data using upload/download function modules.

hope this info will be suff for you
