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>

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

Download PDF file from APP server!

Hi!
Has anyone tried uplaoding and downloding a PDF table from app server as I tried from a normal method by Open dataset, Transfer but it wont work.
Please provide any inputs.
Thanks.

Hi park,
1. Using open data set, transfer , close etc,
   also it will work.
   ( it will download / upload any kind of file from app server)
2. Just make sure the
   FULL PATHNAME and the FILENAME
   are mentioned in EXACT CASE
(small/CAPITAL).
3. U can check thru transaction AL11, to see the file and path.

If I am not wrong you are working on a Unicode enabled system. That is why this error is coming.
Look at the link below, where the solution is provided.

Dynamically Reading Files From Application Server

Hi Experts,
Presently I have to write a program which reads files from the application server dynamically. This program will be scheduled in the background with the frequency of half an hour.
I am Using the function module
CALL FUNCTION 'SUBST_GET_FILE_LIST'
EXPORTING
DIRNAME = '/usr/sap/xxx/xxx/'
FILENM = 'DATASET'
PATTERN = '.txt'
TABLES
FILE_LIST = IT_FILELIST
I am facing problem in specifying the parameter FILENM in the function module,
As I have to read many files from the apps server. How to assign the parameter of function module so it can take the many files generated in the apps server.
Thanks in Advance,
Regards,
Irfan Hussain

Do you want to return the file to the user on click of button or something?
Then, use web_show_document with http link which you are speaking about.
Else download the file to client using Webutil.
