data: gv_file_string type string.

at selection-screen on value-request for lp_file.
  call function 'F4_FILENAME'
    importing
      file_name = lp_file.


start-of-selection.

  gv_file_string = lp_file.

  call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute
    exporting
      application            = gv_file_string
    exceptions
      cntl_error             = 1
      error_no_gui           = 2
      bad_parameter          = 3
      file_not_found         = 4
      path_not_found         = 5
      file_extension_unknown = 6
      error_execute_failed   = 7
      synchronous_failed     = 8
      not_supported_by_gui   = 9
      others                 = 10.
  if sy-subrc <> 0.
