Declare an itab with one field of type string. Read the file into this itab using OPEN DATASET statement.. then loop at this itab & SPLIT the <fld> at ';' into diff fields of a work area.. append that work area to another itab of the desired structure.. get it?

OPEN DATASET LV_FILENAME FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE MESSAGE MSG.

DO.

*-- Read Dataset and Populate Input file data to Internal Table

READ DATASET LV_FILENAME INTO IT_DATA2.

IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.

*-- Append and Initialize table

APPEND IT_DATA2.

CLEAR IT_DATA2.

ELSE.

*-- Exit Out of DO loop if READ is unsuccess

EXIT.

ENDIF.

ENDDO.

*-- Close Dataset

close datset lv_filename.

loop at it_data2.

split it_data2-line at ';' into it_data-field1 it_data-field2....

append it_data.

endloop.

You are going to want to do something like this.

report zrich_0001.

data: str type string.

data: begin of itab occurs 0,
      fld1(10) type c,
      fld2(10) type c,
      fld3(10) type c,
      end   of itab.

data:
      dsn(500) value '/usr/sap/TST/sys/test.txt'.

clear itab.  refresh itab.

* Read the data.
open dataset dsn for input in binary mode.
do.
  read dataset dsn into str.
  if sy-subrc = 0.
   split str at ';' into itab-fld1 itab-fld2 itab-fld3.
    append itab.
  else.
    exit.
  endif.
enddo.
close dataset dsn.


Loop at itab.
  write:/ itab-fld1, itab-fld2, itab-fld3.
endloop.
