OPEN DATASET <dsn> [Additions].

This statement opens the file <dsn>. If you do not specify any additions for the mode, the file is opened in binary mode for reading. SY-SUBRC returns 0 if the system opens the file. Otherwise, SY-SUBRC is set to 8.

I hope path you are giving is not correct.

if sy-sub = 8, menas that unable to open the file, it might be due to filepath or name or both.

check both file path and file name.

If you are using a unicode system, you have to use ENCODING DEFAULT addition.
