Hi,
Please check below options "
To open a file for reading, use the FOR INPUT addition to the OPEN DATASET statement.
To open a file for writing, use the FOR OUTPUT addition to the OPEN DATASET statement.(If the file does not already exist, it is created automatically.)
Try using below logic .
lv_filename = <input file path>
open dataset lv_filename for input in text mode encoding default.
    if sy-subrc = 0.
      do.
        read dataset lv_filename into gs_input-wa_string.
        if sy-subrc eq 0.
          append gs_input to gt_input.
        else.
          exit.
        endif.
      enddo.
      close dataset lv_filename.
    endif.
Please revert for Further Qs.
