Different behaviour in OPEN DATASET <variable> FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE.

[Former Member]

Hello ABAP experts,

I have strange issue here.

In my source code, I am using OPEN DATASET <variable> FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE statement.

This works if <variable> points to the directory under /usr/sap/tmp/FILENAME.

However,

This does not work if <variable> points to the other directory like /home/MYHOME//FILENAME. I do have a permission to create file. (I can create file from UNIX command by <sid>adm user!!)

Would anybody tell me why this problem happens?

Thanks and regards,

Yoichiro

What is the value of SY-SUBRC after the OPEN DATASET statement ? Two questions from me:

/home/MYHOME//FILENAME

Is the directory defined ? I see two '/' in the filename, is this causing the problem ?

Seems to be file permission issue.
