Hi,

maybe you can use open dataset, here is an example:

data: file_add1 type string,

file_add2 type string,

itab type table of string,

wtab like line of itab.

file_add1 = '//network_address/file.any'.

file_add2 = '//network_address2/file.any'.

open dataset file_add1 for input encoding default.

do.

transfer file_add1 to wtab.

if sy-subrc = 0.

append wtab to itab.

else.

exit.

endif.

clear wtab.

enddo.

close dataset file_add1.

open dataset file_add2 for output encoding default.

clear wtab.

loop at itab into wtab.

transfer wtab to file_add2.

clear wtab.

endloop.

close dataset file_add2.

Then delete file_add1.

Hope it helps,

Regards,

John.

hi john,

the file has a timestamp and I want it to be retained. I want a move command like 'mv' in unix. I want the file transferred from destination to source, meaningthe file will get deleted in the destination automatically.

thanks.
