How To Fix E0289 - Attempt to read file & from the end (see long text!)

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: E0 - SAP EDI messages

• Message number: 289

• Message text: Attempt to read file & from the end (see long text!)

What causes this issue?

A line number is entered in table EDFI2 for file &v1&, from which the
system should read this file. The file however contains only the same
number or even fewer lines as the number entered, so that the system
attempts to read lines behind the file end.
Table EDFI2 contains lines which contain errors during
<DS:GLOS.3526B582AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>processing</>. The line number
indicates the position of the last IDoc in the file that was
successfully processed, so that you can reset processing from here. If
the EDFI2 entry refers to the file end, then the error probably occurred
during inbound processing of the last IDoc from the file.
It is possible for static file names that the previous system has
already overwritten the particular file with a new similar name, so that
still no single IDoc from this new file is saved in the SAP system, let
alone then processed. The EDFI2 entry does not therefore refer at all to
the current file.
&system_response&
Inbound processing is cancelled. The file has not been deleted. The
delete indicator has not been set for the EDFI2 entry.

How to fix this error?

You must check if all file data has already been imported. If this is
the case, you must delete the file in the operating system and and EDFI2
entry. If the data has not yet been imported, then you must only delete
the EDFI2 entry, but not the file.
To delete the EDFI2 entry choose <LS>IDoc -> Display status -> File
</> and the detail display of the file. You will see that the delete
indicator is set. Choose <LS>Delete entry</>.

<DS:TRAN.WE08>Execute function</>

Restart inbound processing of file &V1&, for example with the report
program RSEINB00.

  Review ABAP Code: Inspect the ABAP code that is responsible for reading the file. Ensure that it correctly checks for the end of the file before attempting to read more data.
