Hi ABAP Experts,

I want to read the file contents of a file in the local system. I want to read it stream based i.e if the file is if 100kb in size, i want to read the first 100bytes at one time, next 50 kb after, and remaining some other time. Is this possible. I know that with GUI_UPLOAD i can get the total contents into a xstring.

But how to resolve the following i am not sure. Can you please help.

Thanks & Regards,

Vinay.
