hi

make sure that the file is in application server and the delimeter in the file is same as the delimiter you specified in file.

plz check ur Application server path and dirctory on the application server .

is that dirctory is existed or not.

If that directory on the application server is existed then check that u are auth. to use that directory.

or u can take basis people help for that if u are not auth.

cheers!

I think the problem is when u r trrying to read the file from the Application server.

Check in the Tcode AL11 whether the file u can mentioned to open is available.

and check ur OPEN DATASET statment.

If useful reward.
