Documentation
Definition
Complete Name for Sequential File
Use
Output in file system.
The file can be written to the file system if required. Using DME administration, you can copy the file created to a PC. You have to search for files with download, since the data media are not managed within the SAP System; they were filed in the file system by the payment medium program.
If the file name is not defaulted by the parameters, it is generated by the program. It then consists of the disk format, date and time of creation and a sequential number in order to ensure that the file name only exists once in the file system.
If the user defines the file name, a four character sequential number is also assigned. From an organizational point of view however, you must ensure that existing files are not overwritten, since once 9999 files have been created, the numbering starts from 1 again.
Note: If you cannot find the file using DME administration, this could be for the following reason: The directory that was used when starting the payment media program (for example, in background processing), cannot be read online. You should therefore choose a directory that can be written to and read by different machines.
As a result of the problems described above, and the resulting lack of data security, we do not recommend the output to the file system. This method is only recommended if the data medium file is retrieved by an external program for forwarding to the bank from the file system.
TemSe output
If required, the file created can be held within the SAP System (saved in TemSe, not filed in the file system), and therefore protected from external access. The file can be downloaded to the user's file system via DME administration.
You can define the name of the file to be created during the download when you execute the payment media program. The content of the parameters for the file names is then stored in the management data and proposed when you execute the download.
Example
/usr/sap/dta/<file name> or C:\DTA\<file name>
Note
Depending on the operating system used (for example, Unix), you should consider the difference between upper and lower case when specifying the file name.
