Hi,

Make sure you have the given the correct filename with the exact case..As the filename is case sensitive

OR

check if the filename is there..in AL11

OR

check if you have authorization to read the file

hi thanura,

here path of the file name should be CASE SENSITIVE.

make sure that you have given the file name in right case(Upper/Lower case including Extention of the file name).

[rainer_hbenthal]

Above statement does not care if the file is in existance or ot. If it is, it is deleted recreated it it is not, it is created.

So it must be an error in the directory structure. Or the file might be locked by another process.

Hi,

If it is locked, How to check and how to release, or how to handle the situation.

hi

good

check your given path for f_filename and go through this code and use accordingly.

DATA FNAME(60).

FNAME = '/tmp/myfile'.

OPEN DATASET 'myfile'.

OPEN DATASET FNAME.

This example works as long as your R/3 System is running under UNIX. The program opens the file "myfile" in the directory in which the R/3 System is running, and also opens the file "myfile" in directory "/tmp". However, you would have to change the filename for other operating systems. For example, for OpenVMS, you could write the following:

FNAME = '[TMP]myfile.BIN'

OPEN DATASET 'myfile.BIN'.

reward point if helpful.

thanks
