why the background job for downloading file failed?

[Former Member]

I have a background job for downloading file with logical path.

with

'OPEN DATASET l_out_file FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT';

Now, the program can be run in foreground;but when it running on background, it shows 'open file error'.

I do not know what happen?

Please help ~~

Hi,

The logical path you have provided might be incorrect or you might not have the necessary authorization to read/write on that folder.

Please check the folder in transaction AL11 & check whether you have the authorization to read/write. BASIS consultant would be able to tell you about it.

Best regards,

I think the logical path is correct,because the program can work on foreground;

variant is same between foreground and backfround

Hi Ping,

Try and put the file name in single quotes and the probme might get resolved.
