Hi check.

Did u passed the file name to ld_file.

First check this file existing in Application server or not.

If the specified file does not exist in application server it will return sy-subrc 8.

check the application path ld_file is exits or not.

i think the path you have given is wrong try to select the application path using F4 help..

use the FM and add the file name using the FM..

F4_DXFILENAME_TOPRECURSION --

Popup to select one file from the given application server directory (pattern allowed).

(Can be used also for selecting file on presentation server: calls WS_FILENAME_GET)

Parameters: I_LOCATION_FLAG=;

if I_LOCATION_FLAG is blank then popup to choose Appl./Present.;

if I_SERVER='?' then popup to select appl.server.

HI,

If Sy-subrc EQ 8 then the error message is Operating system could not open file.

The file on the application server might got corrupted.

Could be a problem with case sensitive. Files on Unix server are case sensitive, so make sure that name exactly matches the actual file name.

FILENAME does not equal filename!!

ld_file check the case (upper case, lower case ) of the field.. it need to be exact the same as its shown in AL11 Tr.

Hi ALL,

I was facing the same issue.

Then I converted parameter like this.

PARAMETERS: filename(200) TYPE c DEFAULT  '/tmp/test1.xml' LOWER CASE.

So, open dataset was able to find the file.

Thank you.

There are two possible cause of the issue:-

1. Check for file name as define in AL11(case sensitive).

2. Also check if the define length is correct.

Try to use file of type RLGRAP-FILENAME.
