LSMW - Exception while reading data

59 Views

Hello,

Using transaction <b>LSMW</b>, I'm trying to post documents by:

1/ Reading a flat textfile (with record end indicator),

2/ Converting data,

3/ Then processing data via FB01 in direct input method.

The input file is not a fixed record length file (headers: 57 characters in length, details: 255 characters in length).

When I try to read this file, I get the following exception:

ASSIGN_OFFSET+LENGTH_TOOLARGE

The problem is that the instruction

read dataset L_FILENAME into G_MAX_BUFFER length L_BUFFER_LENGTH

in the SAP_LSMW_READ_00000001 program always returns 2000 for the variable L_BUFFER_LENGTH when it should return 57 or 255.

Any clue for solving that problem?

Thanks for helping.
