Transfering 0 byte file

[prasad_reddy9]

I need to transfer a 0 byte file.

for that I am using the following code.

<b><i>begin of i_zero occurs 0,

dummy,

end of i_zero,

move '' to i_zero-dummy.

append i_zero.

open dataset v_file for output in binary mode.

if sy-subrc eq 0.

loop at i_zero.

transfer i_zero-dummy to v_file.

endloop.

close dataset v_file.</i></b>

but the above code is giving me a 1 byte size file. is there anyway around this to be able to transfer a 0 byte file?

Hi Prasad..

If u want to Get a 0 byte file, then Don't use the Transfer At all.

Just use OPEN Dataset .. and CLOSE Dataset.

Eg:

open dataset v_file for output in binary mode.

if sy-subrc eq 0.

close dataset v_file.

Endif.

Now check the size of the File.

Reward if Helpful.
