If you want to directly open a particular file from the presentation server, you could pass the file path to the method

cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute

yes u can raju,

in at user command event, write the following code..

path = <from f4_filename fm>.

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute
EXPORTING
document = PATH      " take it as type string
minimized = 'X'       " dont pass anything if u dont want to minimize it..

Sumit

Hi ,

You can use the class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_open_DIALOG to open that file but here again you need to split the file path into different variable as per your req.

hi raju, perhaps you should have cleared this at the start.

you cant directly execute a file of AS on PS.

what you can do is--

read file on AS using

OPEN DATASET FNAME FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT   "" path on application server. write "output mode" for writing data into file

then use GUI_DOWNLOAD to save it on your PS.

finally you use the solution in previous posts to execute the same file.

this would not work for all kinds of file types i am afraid.
