Creating a file for use by program ROIUH_LOAD_JEINTF for Journal Entry

45 Views

Hello everyone,

My doubt is related to the PRA module -

I have to create a file to be used by program ROiUH_LOAD_JEINTF for journal entry creation. There are other programs also creating a similar file to what I am expected to create.

When I observe the existing programs, they have not used OPEN DATASET statement, instead directly used the TRANSFER dataset and then CLOSE DATASET.

What that does is it creates a file on the app server in a different format with only 1 line even if there may be like 10 lines of journal entry. The file mainly contains # which seems like some internal coding by the system.

When I tried using the OPEN DATASET statement, it wrote all the lines to the app server that were there in my internal table.

However, when I do not use the OPEN DATASET statement, it creates a file with just one line and maily # instead of the actual data from internal table.

Can any one explain what difference does it make to the system when we do not use the OPEN DATASET statement.

You help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,

Shipra.

P.S: I have also posted this question under the PRA expert Forum as this is related to the PRA module, hope this is not something I should not be doing.
