Dataset - How long does the data stay inside?

[Former Member]

Hi,

After transferring data to a dataset, how long does the data stay inside the dataset? How long is the dataset named once it is named?

Thanks,

John

dataset if a file on the server, so it remains forever except if you delete it...

The problem that I has is that when I run this program less that a minute after running it, the dataset information is no longer there, not even its name:

DATA: par_file5 LIKE ifibl_aux_fields-allgunix. "Filename

DATA: V1(5) TYPE C VALUE 'HELLO',

V2(5) TYPE C.

IF par_file5 EQ space. "Kein Dateiname wurde angegeben

par_file5 = sy-repid. "--> Namen generieren

par_file5+8 = '.'.

WRITE sy-datlo TO par_file5+9(6) YYMMDD.

par_file5+15 = '.'.

par_file5+16 = sy-timlo.

CONDENSE par_file5 NO-GAPS.

ENDIF.

OPEN DATASET par_file5 FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING NON-UNICODE.

TRANSFER V1 TO par_file5.

CLOSE DATASET par_file5.

OPEN DATASET par_file5 FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING NON-UNICODE.

READ DATASET par_file5 INTO V2.

CLOSE DATASET par_file5.

When you read, open the file with FOR INPUT !
