Try to upload in BIN.

You can use too the CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES class to upload files.

i_tab_raw_data = wa_tab_raw_data

i_filename = p_inp

TABLES

i_tab_converted_data = t_input

I have a problem close to this .

I want to upload a file in SAP, I am using a recorded Script but I want to give the File and path directly in the script file. Is there anyone who can help me to change this line :

session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/tabsTAB_MAIN/tabpTSMAIN/ssubSCR_MAIN:SAPLCV110:0102/btnPB_FILE_BROWSER").press

Here is the complete recorded code for CV01N:

If Not IsObject(application) Then

Set SapGuiAuto = GetObject("SAPGUI")

Set application = SapGuiAuto.GetScriptingEngine

End If

If Not IsObject(connection) Then

Set connection = application.Children(0)

End If

If Not IsObject(session) Then

Set session = connection.Children(0)

End If

If IsObject(WScript) Then

WScript.ConnectObject session, "on"

WScript.ConnectObject application, "on"

End If

session.findById("wnd[0]").resizeWorkingPane 92,24,false

session.findById("wnd[0]/tbar[0]/okcd").text = "cv01n"

session.findById("wnd[0]").sendVKey 0

session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/ctxtDRAW-DOKNR").text = "filename foe SAP-test1"

session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/ctxtDRAW-DOKAR").text = "mtx"

session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/ctxtDRAW-DOKAR").setFocus

session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/ctxtDRAW-DOKAR").caretPosition = 3

session.findById("wnd[0]").sendVKey 0

session.findById("wnd[1]").sendVKey 0

session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/tabsTAB_MAIN/tabpTSMAIN/ssubSCR_MAIN:SAPLCV110:0102/txtDRAT-DKTXT").text = "Description for file upload in SAP"

session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/tabsTAB_MAIN/tabpTSMAIN/ssubSCR_MAIN:SAPLCV110:0102/txtDRAT-DKTXT").caretPosition = 34

session.findById("wnd[0]/usr/tabsTAB_MAIN/tabpTSMAIN/ssubSCR_MAIN:SAPLCV110:0102/btnPB_FILE_BROWSER").press

session.findById("wnd[0]/tbar[0]/btn[11]").press

session.findById("wnd[0]/tbar[0]/btn[15]").press
