Documentation

Definition

When saving a list in a file enter the name of the file here. The output list is written in this file.

• File on the application server
  If the file does not yet exist it will now be created. If the file already exists, the output is attached to existing contents.
  The file is created under the operating system of the application, meaning the computer upon which the SAP-System is running. The naming convention for the file must satisfy the conventions of the server operating system.
• Example:
  For a UNIX operating system, the file name consists of path and name i.e. /tmp/report1.
  
• File on the presentation server
  If the file does not yet exist it will now be created. If the file already exists it will be overwritten by the current output.
  The file is created under the operating system of the presentation server, meaning the computer upon which you are directly working. The naming convention for the file must satisfy the conventions of the server operating system.
  The name of the path belongs to the complete name, e.g. c:\data\report.txt (Windows, OS/2) or /tmp/report.dat (UNIX).

Note

You can store a default value for filenames in your user master record. For example, you can store a standard path for files, which you only have to supplement with the current file name when exporting. Select 'System' -> 'User profile' -> 'User parameters' and enter a file name or path for parameter Id (PId) 'DLF'.
