use open dataset and get data from app server file into Internal table

use append header to itab index 1. " to add header to internal table

use just append footer to itab. " for footer.

write the file to the same path back again. and check for sy-subrc to 0.

Hi Jay,

thank for ur replay,,

as u told is ok for header.

how to add footer for that...

i ve an idia just let me know its ok r not.

suppose in my flat file i ve 10 records,

get the no of records into Count.

for header i can do like

APPEND header TO itab INDEX 1.

For footer: can i do like

v1= count + 1.

APPEND footer TO itab INDEX v1.

is it ok or not..

do it this way.

INSERT HEADER INTO ITAB INDEX 1.  " This is your header.

APPEND FOOTER TO ITAB. " This is your Footer

Hi sudeer,

ok, let us assume your data is in itab. and suppose it contains 10 records...

so if u want to add an header, just do like

DATA: count TYPE i,

lines TYPE i,

footer(15) TYPE c VALUE ' abapabapabap'.

DESCRIBE itab LINES count. " it gives no of records of itab now count = 10

data: header(10) type c VALUES 'ABCDEFGHIJ'. then,

INSERT header INTO itab INDEX 1.

now ur itab contains 11 records i.e including header(10+1).

For Footer, create one more var like..

lines = count + 2.

INSERT footer INTO itab INDEX lines. " footer will insert at 12th row.
