Hi Experts,
I am trying to open a file on my pc.
I have not been able to find a solution in the SAP site or on line. The example code that I have been using is from the help menu:
DATA:
dsn(20) VALUE '/usr/test.dat',
rec(80).
It appears from the discussions that there is a "usr" folder on the server. I just want to open a file on my pc to test a bdc. If someone could help me I would be very grateful. The code that I am using is below and I am able to pass the string to the variable dsn but I am not able to open the document. I think that I am not writing the string path correctly. I am using Windows XP and SAP 4.6c.
START-OF-SELECTION.
DATA:
dsn(80) VALUE 'C:\Documents and Settings\TestFile.txt',
rec(80).
OPEN DATASET dsn FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
DO.
READ DATASET dsn INTO rec.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
EXIT.
ELSE.
WRITE / rec.
ENDIF.
ENDDO.
ELSE.
WRITE: 'Could not open file'.
ENDIF.
CLOSE DATASET dsn.
Cheers,
Doug
