TCode : FILE

In my sap directory(AL11) , /usr/sap/<sysid> is already mapped and im creating notepad file (txt) at run time at this location. I could see the file created with the specified name successfully. But if i want to move my notepad file to another subfolder under this <sysid>, im unable to create the txt file even though i assigned physical paths to logical path .
<P=DIR_INTERFACE>/<SYSID>/ZTEST/<FILENAME>

Hi,
First you read the file in output mode using Open dataset and Read dataset statement with the initial application server path.
Then write this data back to another file path by opening the file in Input mode and using Transfer statement.
Example.
open dataset <file1> mode output encding default.
if sy-subrc = 0.
do.
read dataset <file1> into wa_itab.
if sy-subrc = 0.
append wa_itab to itab.
else.
exit.
endif.
enddo.
open dataset <file2> mode input encding default.
if sy-subrc = 0.
loop at itab into wa_itab.
transfer wa_itab to <file2>.
endloop.
endif.
Regards.

Change Logs for TCODE -- FILE

Hi Friends,
    Please help me in finding the change logs for the TCODE FILE,
    i.e The changes made to the Logical paths
   I had tried Utilities---->change logs , but unfortunately i cannot find any changes logs
   But there are changes made to the logical paths in my system but i cannot see them in change logs
thanks
chandrasekhar j

rec/client is a profile parameter, you can view the settings in transaction RZ10. However I find program RSPARAM more useful, the report lists all system parameters with their default and altered value. Also if you double-click on a parameter you can get to the full help text for its meaning.
The parameter essentially switches on table change logging for configuration tables (based on the technical settings of the table) and has to be set before the changes are made.
Hope this helps.

Use of tcode file

what is the use of tcode file????
what is platform independent file name????

Platform Independent File path: The actual (Physical) file name/path is always dependent on hardware and OS of the system. Now In this transaction define a Logical name of a file and map it to your specific system specific actual path.
Now in your coding you can use the logical name. When you use the same come in a different system you need not change the logical name to everywhere you have coded. The Logical name will be same, only in FILE transaction you will change the mapping of Logical File name to actual file path.
Check the following Link :
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/EN/8d/3e4edc462a11d189000000e8323d3a/frameset.htm
Example:
Suppose in your application server you created a file and give a logical name as AIRS_PATH. But when you want to access the file you need to know the actual physical path to it. That path may be c:\temp\<FILENAME>. Now in FILE transaction you mapped AIRS_PATH to c:\temp\<FILENAME>.
So whenever you try to access AIRS_PATH, the system know that you want to access the c:\temp\<FILENAME>.
Now may be you want to run your code in a different system and different hardwre. And the file is stored there in c:\temp\temp1\<FILENAME> path. So then in that system you need to map AIRS_PATH with c:\temp\temp1\<FILENAME.
Now while coding you are not actually familiar or bother the actual file path. You will do your coding based on AIRS_PATH. And that is same in all the system only the mapping need to change. Thus you can achieve the system independence.

Tcode FILE problem

I am trying to use the Direct Input method in the LSMW (It is my first time using the Direct Input method) but I encounter a problem during the Specify File step saying that No Logical Path was specified. I look into the forums and they told me that I needed to define one with the FILE Tcode but when go to the FILE Tcode a message pops up saying Changes to Repository or cross-client Customization are not permitted.
What would cause this? How should I deal with it?

Hi Obie,
I guess you are testing in Testing client .
Do it in development client.

LOGICAL FILENAME / TCODE FILE

In a selection screen I have put a parameters called p_log type fileintern.
I'd like to read this file, is there any function module that would help me to do this or should I use open dataset....
what if the name look like this
<system>\hello.txt
thanks 4 the help

Hi,
If you looking a FM to get the physical file name for a logical file then use the FM FILE_NAME_GET..
If you want to get the file value..Check this code..
DATA: v_buffer(2047) TYPE c.
DATA: BEGIN OF i_buffer OCCURS 0,
       line(2047) TYPE c,
      END OF i_buffer.
Open the unix file..
OPEN DATASET p_unix FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
DO.
    CLEAR: v_buffer.
    READ DATASET p_unix INTO v_buffer.
    IF sy-subrc NE 0.
      EXIT.
    ENDIF.
    MOVE v_buffer TO i_buffer.
    APPEND i_buffer.
ENDDO.
ENDIF.
Thanks,

Run time error while saving values in File (Tcode)

Hi,
I am using FM   call function 'FILE_GET_NAME'
       exporting
            logical_filename = logical_filename
            parameter_1      = program_name
            parameter_2      = file_id_param
       importing
            file_name        = physical_filename
       exceptions
            file_not_found   = 1
            others           = 2.
for this I am trying to maintain dynamic values(field symbols) in Tcode FILE Logical file name definition , physical path as.
Physical file   =<PARAM_1>.<PARAM_2>
But while saving it dumps, saying filed symbol assinment to substring is not allowed.
Physical path for the same is /<V=Z_DIR_MAIN>/<SYSID>/<V=Z_DIR_OUT>/<FILENAME>.<CLIENT>.<DATE><TIME>.
Regards
Mohinder Singh Chauhan

Hello Mohinder,
the better way to analyse these kind of things is by entering the function module in se37 and providing the required test data.
In your scenarion as you say its throwing a runtime dump related to field symbols better you concatenate the data param1 and param2 into a new variable and then pass that value into the function module.
Thanks,

APD, filename for file data target

Hello,
i am designing a APD process with a file as process target.
I can hardcode the file path and name in the data target properties, however i would rather set the filename by user input or by a abap routine (eg. include the date of APD execution in the file name). Is that possible?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
You can use the option 'Logical File Name' option to create a dyanmic file name.
You can define a Logical File Name in tcode 'FILE', where you can append system date, time, varaible to a static file name.
Hope this helps.

Creation of file

Hi Abapers.
Can any body tell me how create the a logical and physical file by using FILE tcose.
Please tell me step by step.
<Moved thread, has nothing to do with ABAP Objects. Please choose your forums more carefully in future>
Edited by: Mike Pokraka on Aug 4, 2008 7:03 PM

hi,
Here is the process to create Logical File Path.
1)Go to tcode FILE.
2) Click on Logical File Path Definition. Give name "ZTEST" and some description.
3) Click on Assignment of Physical Path to Logical Path. and provide Syntax Group and physical path.
4) Click on Logical File Name Definition and give descrition, physical filename, Data format as ASC, Application area and logical path which you have created.
hope this helps you.
