Hi,

The actual purpose of this Fm is to be able to open a file select dialog box (whose default location is exported using the field_name parameter), whereby you may choose a specific file from your local system and returns with the absolute address of the selected file as an importing parameter to the calling program.

eg:

CALL FUNCTION 'F4_FILENAME'

EXPORTING

program_name = sy-repid

dynpro_number = sy-dynnr

field_name = <set the default folder in the file select dialog box >

IMPORTING

file_name = p_file_name.

ENDFORM.

Note: now p_file_name will contain the absolute address of the selected file which we may use in any way in our programs.

You can use this fm for a windows-help of a field-file
