Dataset problem

Former Member

Hi Guys,

I am trying to download a file in the application server. It is giving me the error "Download File Already Exists. Created by <my user id>". I have checked and all datasets are closed. But if I check in AL11 there is nothing by that name.\

Please suggest.

Hello,

If the system says that the file already exists in the application server, you should be able to find the file manually in the path you mentioned. Else use OPEN DATASET FOR APPENDING and check if the file is getting appended.

Custom program? If so, check the code and how the program handles the return code.

There is no file in AL11 by the name I entered in my program.

How are you getting the message "Download File Already Exists"? Are you manually handling the error messages after OPEN DATASET based on the sy-subrc value? I dont think any system message will appear after OPEN DATASET
