Reading tab delimited file from application server

Hi All,

I do know that we need to use Open data set to read a file from application server, but my question is when you use read DATASET v_file into wa_final - this wa_final is an work area and also i have mentione an internal table. so do we need to Split the record at tab into the corresponding fields. Append the records into an internal table i_input.????

Please let me know on this....

thanks in advance....

Poonam....
