Physical file location in SAP when OPEN DATASET command is used

1331 Views

Hi,

I have used below sample code from SAP help in my program. If you notice, I have not specified the file path however I am able to open and read this file whenever I want. Could anybody let me know where exactly is this file physically located. I have tried SP11( Temse objects) but no use.

DATA: file TYPE string VALUE `test.dat`,

result TYPE string.

OPEN DATASET file FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE

ENCODING DEFAULT.

TRANSFER `1234567890` TO file.

CLOSE DATASET file.

OPEN DATASET file FOR UPDATE IN TEXT MODE

ENCODING DEFAULT .

TRANSFER `ABCD` TO file.

CLOSE DATASET file.

OPEN DATASET file FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE

ENCODING DEFAULT .

WHILE sy-subrc = 0.

READ DATASET file INTO result.

WRITE / result.

ENDWHILE.

CLOSE DATASET file.

Regards

Kasi
