'Open Dataset For Output' throws error 'Permission Denied'

[Former Member]

Hello All,

I am getting error as 'Permission Denied' (sy-subrc = 😎 while writing the text to txt file which is present on server. I am tried using --

  OPEN DATASET pa_upld FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT MESSAGE error_message.
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    WRITE : / sy-subrc, error_message.
    EXIT.
  ENDIF.

Can anybody faced the same problem??

FYI.. The following statement is working fine while reading the contents of the file.

OPEN DATASET pa_upld FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.

Any help??

Thanks in Advance,

Hi,

I think you dont have access for get the file from the Application server.

go to the AL11 tcode , double click on the folder , it will says you do u have acess or not?

Hi,

This may be a authorization issue. Either your ID should have role SAP_ALL or the other role with the authorization object S_DATASET (Authorization for file access) with write access.

The activity read and write is separate. May be you have only read assigned to your ID

Saving the file in the usr folder of the server solves the problem.
