Answer 1

There are two options based on your requirement:

Option 1: Use READ DATASET to read file.

DATA : FNAME(60) type c VALUE 'myfile.txt',
       TEXT2(5) type c.

       OPEN DATASET FNAME FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE.

       DO.
        READ DATASET FNAME INTO TEXT2 LENGTH LENG.
        WRITE: / SY-SUBRC, TEXT2.
         IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
             EXIT.
         ENDIF.
      ENDDO.

     CLOSE DATASET FNAME.

Option 2: Use Class CL_ABAP_CONV_IN_CE to read file.
