Hi,

Check the FM

CH_SPLIT_FILENAME

J_8A3_L_MB_SPLIT_PATH_AND_FILE

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_open_dialog
    EXPORTING
      window_title         = 'Open '                      "#EC NOTEXT
      default_extension    = 'XLS'
      default_file_name    = g_filename
    CHANGING
      filename             = l_filename
      path                 = l_path
      fullpath             = l_fullpath
    EXCEPTIONS
      cntl_error           = 1
      error_no_gui         = 2
      not_supported_by_gui = 3
      OTHERS               = 4.
  IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
    p_fullpath = l_fullpath.
  ENDIF.

Retrieve the logical path(name) based on WHAT?

Look inside FM FILE_GET_NAME_USING_PATH for the coding and try to use it any way you want to.

Hi use this :

You got to use this after some FM which gives you the whole path... and the file name will be removed by this FM

DATA: lv_path TYPE rlgrap-filename.
    lv_path  = lv_output.

    CALL FUNCTION 'LIST_SPLIT_PATH'
      EXPORTING
        filename = lv_path
      IMPORTING
        pathname = lv_path.
    IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
      p_path1 = lv_path.
    ENDIF.

Please use FM

CALL FUNCTION '/SAPDMC/LSM_PATH_FILE_SPLIT'

EXPORTING

PATHFILE = p_file

IMPORTING

PATHNAME = PATHNAME

FILENAME = FILENAME

Hey Dorian,

I think you can use CALL FUNCTION 'FILE_GET_NAME'.

Example

CALL FUNCTION 'FILE_GET_NAME'

EXPORTING

logical_filename = 'Z_logical_name' " Your logical file name

IMPORTING

file_name = p_path. "the logical file path

You can then concatenate the physical file name at the end.

Regards,

Hello Sandhya,

U can use FILE_GET_NAME_USING_PAHT or FILE_GET_NAME fun modules to get the Physical path ofthe file.

You neededto give Logivcal path which u defined using FILE transaction and the File name tcreated within the Physicalpahth for which u already had the mappaing woith the Logical paht in FILE tcode.

Regards
