Hi Bhupesh,

Did you check if file exists at the location mentioned in the message?  File should be in ASCII format.

can you tell me in what format i need to align the data  in the text file i think it causing problem due to this.

thanks in advance.

Well, the file should be in ascii text  format, which you are using I guess, check if field values are separated by spaces.

Did you check if you have authorization to read and write for this file?

Also check what report ID maintained in T159i table.
