Hi,
for that you have to use dataset.
  Refer this code.
*-- Concatenate the file path retrived from the  function module
  with additonal directory 'mm/ptpi006/in/' and pass it to a
  variable.
  CONCATENATE lv_fname c_const INTO pv_input_file.
  CONCATENATE lv_fname c_const pv_flext INTO lv_file.
  lv_dsn = lv_file.
*-- Open Dataset
  OPEN DATASET lv_dsn FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
  IF sy-subrc NE 0.
File not found
    MESSAGE e503.
  ELSE.
  Read each line from the dataset and append to an internal table.
    DO.
      IF sy-subrc NE 0.
No records found in the file.
        MESSAGE e504.
      ENDIF.
*-- Read dataset and pass it to an internal table.
      READ DATASET lv_dsn INTO lv_line.
      CLEAR wa_eord.
      wa_eord-matnr = lv_line+0(18).
      wa_eord-werks = lv_line+18(4).
      wa_eord-vdatu = lv_line+22(8).
      wa_eord-bdatu = lv_line+30(8).
      wa_eord-lifnr = lv_line+38(10).
      wa_eord-ekorg = lv_line+48(4).
      wa_eord-meins = lv_line+52(3).
      wa_eord-autet = lv_line+55(1).
      wa_eord-feskz = lv_line+56(1).
      IF NOT wa_eord IS INITIAL.
        APPEND wa_eord TO pr_eord.
      ENDIF.
    ENDDO.
*-- Close Dataset .
    CLOSE DATASET lv_dsn.
  ENDIF.
