Small doubt in open dataset syntax

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I have a small doubt in open dataset, i want to know the correct syntax for open dataset in verson 4.6C.

Actually i written the syntax as

OPEN DATASET ds_name FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE .

but it wont write any file in that path, its saying file not available. Plz guid this.

Hello,

Check this sample:

    OPEN DATASET FILENAME FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE.
    IF SY-SUBRC NE 0.
      MESSAGE S041(S9) WITH FILENAME.
      EXIT.
    ENDIF.
    LOOP AT LT_TAB INTO LR_TAB.
      TRANSFER LR_TAB TO FILENAME.
    ENDLOOP.
    IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
      CLOSE DATASET FILENAME.
      DESCRIBE TABLE LT_TAB LINES L_F_COUNT.
      SUBTRACT 1 FROM L_F_COUNT.
      MESSAGE I145 WITH L_F_COUNT FILENAME.
    ENDIF.

Go to transactions CZ3Y and CZ3Z.

Check the file exists or not

Syntax for that is

Ex :

OPEN DATASET W_FILENAME_ACRO FOR OUTPUT IN

TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT

WITH WINDOWS LINEFEED MESSAGE W_MESSAGES.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
