Question

you would think this would be obvious, but searching through documentation, SAP forums, Googling, etc., I’ve been spectacularly unsuccessful. I’m creating a file in ABAP on a solaris filesystem using the following code:

OPEN DATASET p_file FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT. 

the resulting file is owned and grouped according to a pre-defined admin user, which is fine, but the sticky wicket is that the permissions are set to 660/rw-rw—-, meaning I can’t examine the results. is there a way (possibly using that vaguely defined TYPE addition?) I can specify the resulting permissions on the new file?

thanks!

Answer 1

this works in 4.6B:

        CONCATENATE 'chmod ugo=rw ' lc_filename           INTO lc_chmod SEPARATED BY space.         CALL 'SYSTEM' ID 'COMMAND' FIELD lc_chmod. 

Hope this helps.
