Open Dataset is returning sy-subrc of 8!

[Former Member]

Hello All,

I am running the program RSEINB00 to process an inbound file but getting an error at the open dataset statement in the below code. I had checked all the conentions and standards and they are correct. What are the possible reason of getting an error. I am getting sy-subrc of 8 after trying to open the file.

form open_dataset_for_input
   using  l_filename    type edi_path-pthnam
          l_os_message  type t_os_message
          l_unicode     type edi_unicod
          l_repchar     type edi_repchr
          l_rc          type sy-subrc.

clear l_rc.
if l_unicode = c_true.
    catch system-exceptions convt_codepage_init = 9.
    open dataset l_filename for input in text mode encoding utf-8
       replacement character l_repchar message l_os_message.
    l_rc = sy-subrc.
    endcatch.
  else.
    catch system-exceptions convt_codepage_init = 9.
    *open dataset l_filename for input in text mode encoding non-unicode*
      *replacement character l_repchar message l_os_message.*
    l_rc = sy-subrc.
    endcatch.
  endif.
  if sy-subrc = 9.
    l_rc = sy-subrc.
  endif.

endform.                    " open_dataset_for_input

Here are the input values I am passing to the program RSEINB00.

I will tell you more about INPUT and OUTPUT:

Input: The addition FOR INPUT opens the file for reading. By default, the file pointer is set at the start of the file. If the file specified does not exist, sy-subrc is set to 8.

Either the file does not exist or U don't have authorization to read the file ...

Hi ALL,

I was facing the same issue.

Then I converted parameter like this.

PARAMETERS: filename(200) TYPE c DEFAULT  '/tmp/test1.xml' LOWER CASE.

So, open dataset was able to find the file.

Thank you.
