Problem with READ DATASET when reading file from app server

Hi,
wondering if anyone can help, I'm using the following code to read from a file on app server, the file is of type .rtf
OPEN DATASET file_rtf FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE
ENCODING DEFAULT
WITH SMART LINEFEED.
DO.
READ DATASET file_rtf INTO string.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
EXIT.
ENDIF.
ENDDO.
the open dataset part works sy-subrc = 0, but the read returns sy-subrc = 8 and no data is passed to string.
Any ideas as to what is causing this problem appreciated, <removed>
Thanks

What are the commands available to read a file from application server and

What are the commands available to read a file from application server and store the file into an internal table?

Hi,
To read a file from an Application Server to an Object there is a command in ABAP called READ DATASET. After that file is transported to that object you have to do a loop and put that data in an Internal Table.
This statement exports data from the file specified in dset into the data object dobj. For dobj, variables with elementary data types and flat structures can be specified. In Unicode programs, dobj must be character-type if the file was opened as a text file.
For dset, a character-type data object is expected - that is, an object that contains the platform-specific name of the file. The content is read from the file starting from the current file pointer. After the data transfer, the file pointer is positioned after the section that was read. Using the MAXIMUM LENGTH addition, the number of characters or bytes to be read from the file can be limited. Using ACTUAL LENGTH, the number of characters or bytes actually used can be determined.
In a Unicode program, the file must be opened with an arbitrary access type; otherwise, an exception that cannot be handled will be triggered.
If the file has not yet been opened in anon-Unicode program, it will be implicitly opened as a binary file for read access using the statement
OPEN DATASET dset FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE.
. If a non-existing file is accessed, an exception that can be handled can be triggered.
Influence of Access Type
Files can be read independently of the access type. Whether data can be read or not depends solely on the position of the file pointer. If the latter is at the end of the file or after the file, no data can be read and sy-subrc will be set to 4.
Influence of the Storage Type
The import function will take place irrespective of the storage type in which the file was opened with the statement OPEN DATASET.
If the file was opened as a text file or as a legacy text file, the data is normally read from the current position of the file pointer to the next end-of-line marking, and the file pointer is positioned after the end-of-line marking. If the data object dobj is too short for the number of read characters, the superfluous characters and bytes are cut off. If it is longer, it will be filled with blanks to the right.
If the file was opened as a binary file or as a legacy-binary file, as much data is read that fits into the data object dobj. If the data object dobj is longer than the number of exported characters, it is filled with hexadecimal 0 on the right.
If the specified storage type makes conversion necessary, this is executed before the assignment to the data object dobj. Afterwards, the read data is placed, byte by byte, into the data object.
System Fields
sy-subrc Meaning
0 Data was read without reaching end of file.
4 Data was read and the end of the file was reached or there was an attempt to read after the end of the file.
Thanks,
Samantak.

Problem in downloading file from app server using CG3Y in to .XLS fomat

hi All,
I have uploaded file in to application server through a program using open data set with the separater as "|" ( pipe ) . Now the user should be able to download the file from apps server to presenataion server in .XLS format using txn CG3Y. but when we download, the format appears wierd and the data is not consistent across columns in excel. i.e the data which is supposed to be in one column in the excel is in the other column. what precautaions should i take before moving data to apps server so that it will be downloaded in a good format.
Appreciate your help...
Regards,
Sreekanth.

Separate each values with TAB space present in the application server .
Currently u r using | pipe character. Instead of that use CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB as delimiter.
Each value will displayed in separate cells in excel sheet when u download it frm app.server

How to read file from prsntn server in Inbound idoc FM.

Hi Experts,
I am new to idoc.
I have requirment that i need to read a file from presentation and application server and put in inbound idoc FM.Idoc will be processed in batch.
How can i put selection screen in FM and read the file?or how can i proceed with the solution?
Please help..
Umesh

Hi Umesh,
My understanding on your requirement is to read a file from pres. server and pass the data to an IDoc function module. Am I correct?
If this is the case then you can create a report which picks up the file from pres. server and then read data from the file and pass it to the parameters of the required function module.
Hope this helps.

Error Message while executing
What happened?
 At the conversion of a text from codepage '4110' to codepage '4102':
 - a character was found that cannot be displayed in one of the two
 codepages;
 - or it was detected that this conversion is not supported
 The running ABAP program 'ZHDI_LOMM_VEHI_MAT_MASS_CREATE' had to be terminated
 as the conversion
 would have produced incorrect data.
 The number of characters that could not be displayed (and therefore not
 be converted), is 449. If this number is 0, the second error case, as
 mentioned above, has occurred.
Error analysis
 An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
 The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_CONVERSION_CODEPAGE', was not
 caught in
 procedure "F_DATA_UPLOAD" "(FORM)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING clause.
 Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
 exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
 The reason for the exception is:
 Characters are always displayed in only a certain codepage. Many
 codepages only define a limited set of characters. If a text from a
 codepage should be converted into another codepage, and if this text
 contains characters that are not defined in one of the two codepages, a
 conversion error occurs.
 Moreover, a conversion error can occur if one of the needed codepages
 '4110' or '4102' is not known to the system.
 If the conversion error occurred at read or write of screen, the file
 name was '/usr/sap/interfaces/conversion/pioneer/ddm/data/test_data1.xls'.

Please help me
