Create a Logical Path for this Physical path in tcode FILE.

Pass this logical path to your Program.

Use OPEN DATASET to access the file at this path.

Most important thing this system should be in the same network as of your machine (SAP SERVER).

Since you are given an IP address, so you can also try for FTP download as an alternative. This will save you from network issue.

For sample codes for both just search the forum with <b>'FTP DOWNLOAD'</b> & <b>'APPLICATION SERVER'</b>.

Ask the BASIS people to map this path in your application server.

Once mapped read file contents using

OPEN DATASET <dir>.

CLOSE DATASET.

<dir> is the path to the application server pointing to the your desired file.

Hi

Use the Tcode CG3Y to bring the file from Application to Local server and write the ordinary BDC code

other wise

Use OPEN DATASET concept..

READ dataset

TRANSFER dataset

CLOSE dataset

see the sample code

START-OF-SELECTION.

ld_file = p_infile.

OPEN DATASET ld_file FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.

IF sy-subrc NE 0.

ELSE.

DO.

CLEAR: wa_string, wa_uploadtxt.

READ DATASET ld_file INTO wa_string.

IF sy-subrc NE 0.

EXIT.

ELSE.

SPLIT wa_string AT con_tab INTO wa_uploadtxt-name1

wa_uploadtxt-name2

wa_uploadtxt-age.

MOVE-CORRESPONDING wa_uploadtxt TO wa_upload.

APPEND wa_upload TO it_record.

ENDIF.

ENDDO.

CLOSE DATASET ld_file.

ENDIF.
