Hi Friend,

Instead of any FM you can use this code :

Parameters: S_File type localfile default GIVE SOURCE FILEPATH,

D_File type localfile default GIVE DESTINATION FILEPATH.

data: begin of itab occurs 0,

rec(100) type c,

end of itab.

data: wa(100) type c.

start-of-selection.

open dataset S_File for input in text mode.

if sy-subrc = 0.

do.

read dataset S_File into wa.

if sy-subrc 0.

exit.

endif.

itab-rec = wa.

append itab.

enddo.

endif.

close dataset S_File.

open dataset D_File for output in text mode.

loop at itab.

transfer itab to D_File.

endloop.

close dataset D_File.

delete dataset S_File.

Hi,

here a modified version for binary files and with buffering:

PARAMETERS:
  s_file TYPE localfile DEFAULT '/tmp/xtest1.txt',
  d_file TYPE localfile DEFAULT '/tmp/xtest2.txt'.

CONSTANTS:
  c_buflen TYPE i VALUE 100.

DATA:
  buf(100) TYPE x,
  actlen TYPE i.

START-OF-SELECTION.

  OPEN DATASET s_file FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE.
  IF sy-subrc = 0.
    OPEN DATASET d_file FOR OUTPUT IN BINARY MODE.
    IF sy-subrc = 0.
      DO.
        READ DATASET s_file INTO buf MAXIMUM LENGTH c_buflen ACTUAL LENGTH actlen.
        IF actlen > 0.
          TRANSFER buf TO d_file LENGTH actlen.
        ELSE.
          EXIT.
        ENDIF.
      ENDDO.
      CLOSE DATASET d_file.
      CLOSE DATASET s_file.
      DELETE DATASET s_file.
    ENDIF.
  ENDIF.

Use the below function module to move the file from one location to other location:

CALL FUNCTION 'ARCHIVFILE_SERVER_TO_SERVER'

EXPORTING

sourcepath = w_file

targetpath = lv_tgt_file

EXCEPTIONS

error_file = 1

OTHERS = 2.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE c_s NUMBER sy-msgno

WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.

EXIT.

ELSE.

DELETE DATASET w_file.

ENDIF.

Another method is that you can download the file to your system and upload to another directory using transaction 'CG3Z' .
