Infopackage upload routine flat file

Question

Hi,
I'm uploading a flat .csv file with an infopackage routine (called by a process chain).
First it checks the existence and if the file exists running it's ok, but if not (no file found) I want to stop the upload and do nothing (now the infopackage load stays in red like an error load) but I don't know the way to do it...
(maybe with sy-subrc??)
     v_file = '/usr/sap/.../ZZ.CSV'.
        CALL FUNCTION 'DX_FILE_EXISTENCE_CHECK'
        EXPORTING
        FILENAME = v_file
        PC = ''
        SERVER = ''
        IMPORTING
        FILE_EXISTS = v_file_exists.
        if v_file_exists ='X'.
        p_filename ='/usr/sap/.../ZZ.CSV'.
        else.
     ???????????????????????????  What to do?????
        endif.
Thanks for your help!

Hi Marcel,
Since you are already executing the info package it will always turn red if there is no file found to be uploaded.
In that case you can upload a blank file onto the server, if the file is not found then update the infopackage path by the path of the blank file. This will ensure that the info package is always completed causing no impact on the data.
Another way of doing the same will be using a program, where in you can check the existence of the file. If file is found then update the package and trigger the load, else do nothing. This will also help in stopping the infopackage from turning red. Here in you can use BAPI BAPI_IPAK_CHANGE to update info package and function RSPC_API_CHAIN_START to trigger process chain.
