    As specified in online-help on instruction OPEN DATASET you have to check authority before opening any dataset.

    Use Function Module AUTHORITY_CHECK_DATASET

    Else you could try to CATCH the error OPEN_DATASET_NO_AUTHORITY

    If an error occurs, then OPEN DATASET FOR OUTPUT

    If an other error occurs, then has your user the right to create file on this directory.

    CATCH SYSTEM-EXCEPTIONS OPEN_DATASET_NO_AUTHORITY = 1.

    OPEN DATASET y_filename FOR APPENDING IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.

    ENDCATCH.

    IF sy-subrc = 1.

    CATCH SYSTEM-EXCEPTIONS OPEN_DATASET_NO_AUTHORITY = 1.

    OPEN DATASET y_filename FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT

    ENDCATCH.

    ENDIF.

    IF sy-subrc = 1.

    " errror message => Contact BC team for authorization

    ENDIF.

    Are you running this in the foreground or background? Does the userID have operating system file permission to the file?

    /usr/sap/tmp/text03012008.txt

    Can you verify the application server can see this path from the console?

    Hi,

    Ur id must have Authority to create a File on App Server. If not ask the basis to give a authorization.
