Create a program to transfer file from C:/ to SAP directory (/usr/sap/trans/data/<FILENAME> by using function module GUI_UPLOAD for example.

Hi Jurgen.

Could u let us know wot should be the format of the file to be uploaded?

And are you sure about the directory.

Thanks.

I usually have a ascii text format.

Which directory is totally up to you and what your basis admins allow. You customize logical and physical paths with transaction FILE

What I meant to ask was the columns of the ascii file.

[JL23]

Maintain the file in Excel, then save as Unicode text.

Hey I have managed to figure out what Shrikant needs to do.

Shrikant get a directory created by your Basis Consultant on the application server, you can use transaction FILE to view other directories. Use tcode AL11 to view the directories, paths and actual files stored.

This logical file name will be passed in the transaction MI40.

Ask an Abapper to upload the data from an excel file (the excel file will have structure of type BISEG, U can see structure BISEG in tcode SE11/SE12). Once ur data is on the path, u can execute the report.

Thanks for all the help Jürgen L.

Thanks.

Vipin.
