Open dataset statement not working..

[#1]

Hi All,

I have a report where i am storing spool in a file named "p_file" which is stored on a network path.I am using open dataset statement for downloading the file in application server.But its not working and sy_subrc is retuning "8" instead of "0".and output is coming as "'operating system could not open file".

DATA : p_file      LIKE rlgrap-filename VALUE '\\daload2\saptrans\transECCGBL'.

*  downloading the file in application server

   OPEN DATASET p_file FOR OUTPUT IN BINARY MODE  .

   IF  sy-subrc = 0 .

     WRITE : / 'List of Invoices excluded Due to No Accounting Document'.

     LOOP AT g_it_temp INTO g_is_temp.

       TRANSFER g_is_temp TO p_file .

       CLEAR g_is_temp.

     ENDLOOP.

     CLOSE DATASET p_file.

   ELSE.

     WRITE : / 'operating system could not open file' .

   ENDIF.

Please Help...!!

Hi,

please add the MESSAGE option to the OPEN statement:

DATA mess TYPE string.

OPEN DATASET p_file FOR OUTPUT IN BINARY MODE MESSAGE mess.

So you can get the OS message in mess.
