[Former Member]

Hi team

i want to find the size of the file which is in application server?

is there any FM to find the size of the file?

Example:-->

p_file = '\tmp\source.txt'.

OPEN DATASET p_file FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.

IF sy-subrc = 0.

?----find the size of the file which is open ?

Thanks in Advance.

check fm

ADS2KIPUPL_GET_FILE_ATTRIBUTES

or

EPS_GET_FILE_ATTRIBUTES

Hi,

Declare a integer variable and find the size.

data: var type string,
         len type i. 

p_file = '\tmp\source.txt'.

OPEN DATASET p_file FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.

if sy-subrc = 0.
read dataset p_file into var.
endif.

describe field var length len in byte mode 

write: 'The file size is', len.

What??

Please note READ DATASET will read only one file pointer (in layman's term only one file line) at a time.

So your logic wont give the complete file size, will it?

Hello,

As suggested by Keshu, you can use the FM: EPS_GET_FILE_ATTRIBUTES.

You get file size from the EXPORT param FILE_SIZE.

When open dataset is used in BINARY MODE, the read dataset statement transfers the whole file content into the variable and not just one line as in TEXT MODE.

data: var type string,
         len type i. 
 
p_file = '\tmp\source.txt'.
 
OPEN DATASET p_file FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE.
 
if sy-subrc = 0.
read dataset p_file into var.
endif.
 
describe field var length len in byte mode 
 
write: 'The file size is', len.

So this will work and return the total size.

Hi Puneet, Try this way.

REPORT ztest_program.
DATA filesize TYPE epsf-epsfilsiz.
CALL FUNCTION 'EPS_GET_FILE_ATTRIBUTES'
  EXPORTING
    file_name = 'llbdbase.dat'
    dir_name  = '/tmp/'
  IMPORTING
    file_size = filesize.
WRITE: 'File size' , filesize.

Thanks Venkat.O
