Function module to check if a given file/folder path is valid or not?

Former Member — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 11:21:18 GMT

Hi,

I am using function modules GUI_DOWNLOAD and GUI_UPLOAD.

Is there any function module to check if a given file/folder path is valid or not?

Thanks.

Hello.

Yes, you can use class cl_gui_frontend_services, method DIRECTORY_EXIST.

hi,

if u r hardcoding the path directly ,then there is no issue becse u dont get any error.

if u r using f4_filename function module to get file then u can check in the bottom.

if sy-subrc NE 0.

message 'file not found' type 'E'.

endif.
