ARCHIVE_GET_NEXT_RECORD does not fill structure

[Former Member]

Hello Friends,

In order to read data from archive I use fm ARCHIVE_GET_NEXT_RECORD. First I open the archive with ARCHIVE_OPEN_FOR_READ and then use ARCHIVE_GET_NEXT_OBJECT. These work without raising any exceptions. But ARCHIVE_GET_NEXT_RECORD returns end_of_object without filling record and record_structure. It is really frustrating because using tx-code SARA I can access the archived document and the standard read program uses the same fm.s. What should I check?

Thx in advance,

here is the excerpt from my coding:

call function 'ARCHIVE_OPEN_FOR_READ'
  EXPORTING
    object             = object
  IMPORTING
    archive_handle     = handle
  EXCEPTIONS
    internal_error     = 01
    no_files_available = 02
    object_not_found   = 03
    open_error         = 04.
     if sy-subrc ne 0.
       write: / 'NO ARCHIVE DATA !'.
     else.

* loop to get the next object from the archive files
  do.
    call function 'ARCHIVE_GET_NEXT_OBJECT'
      EXPORTING
        archive_handle          = handle
*      IMPORTING
*        object_id               = filepath-pathintern
      EXCEPTIONS
        end_of_file             = 01
        internal_error          = 02
        open_error              = 03
        wrong_access_to_archive = 04.

    if sy-subrc ne 0.
      exit.
    endif.

    do.
      call function 'ARCHIVE_GET_NEXT_RECORD'
        EXPORTING
          archive_handle          = handle
        IMPORTING
          record                  = arc_buffer-segment
          record_structure        = arc_buffer-rname
        EXCEPTIONS
          end_of_object           = 01
          internal_error          = 02
          wrong_access_to_archive = 03.

      if sy-subrc ne 0.
        exit.
      endif.

enddo.

enddo.
