Are other libraries available from SAP?


Hi, Robert.

There are 2 points to remember here:

1) You cannot access a file in the QSYS.LIB structure if it has a DDS
structure (record/field format). If it is a "flat" file (PF without DDS -
fixed record length), then you can access it from ABAP.
2) To access a flat file from ABAP, you need to declare the file as a
dataset. Use a variable for the dataset name and set the variable up front
to the name of the file in the format
'/QSYS.LIB/YOURLIB.LIB/YOURFILE.FILE/YOURFILE.MBR'. After that, treat the
file as a normal dataset as if you were reading it from the IFS.

Hi, group

We are trying to access a file in a non-R/3 library via a little ABAP
program using native SQL. It isn't working. My question is: is it
possible to access files in data libraries other than R/3-specific
libraries? If so, how?

Here's our dummy code:

REPORT ZBC_TEST_SQL .
DATA: V_ITEM(10) TYPE C,
V_ITEMNO(6),
V_VNDRNO(10) TYPE C.
V_ITEMNO = 56023.
EXEC SQL.
SELECT ITEMNO, VNDRNO INTO :V_ITEM, :V_VNDRNO FROM KERRDATA/INVMAS
WHERE ITEMNO = V_ITEMNO
ENDEXEC.
WRITE: / V_ITEM.

Any suggestions/information is greatly appreciated.
