Hi Kobby,

Use rlgrap-filename.

Hi,

there is no such search help. You need to do it like this:

PARAMETERS: p_file TYPE rlgrap-filename.
DATA: gt_filetab TYPE filetable,
      gs_file TYPE file_tab,
      gv_rc TYPE i.

AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR p_file.
  CLEAR gt_filetab.
  CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_open_dialog
    EXPORTING
      multiselection    = space
    CHANGING
      file_table        = gt_filetab
      rc                = gv_rc.

  LOOP AT gt_filetab INTO gs_file.
    p_file = gs_file-filename.
  ENDLOOP.

Regards,

Adrian

Mr. Keshav,

What i'm looking for is a search-help so i can connect it to a data element. It will be used,for instent, when i build

a maintenence dialog thru trans SE54. Te file search will be "build in" when i will use my data element.

Thank you for your answer,anyway.

Best regard,

koby

I think you cannot bring this functionality with a data element.

You can go to the screen logic of the maintenace and add a POV.

I know that i can do this,but the problem is that if you need to regenerate the maintnence ,

you have to remember to rewrite the pov.

Hi,

So what i think is its better to go for a program( with table control) instead of a table maintenance through which the entry can be made.

Hi keshav,

Thank you for your response.

I know there are several ways to handle this popup browser.

What i'm looking for is a simple way to handle file choosing , without any "work around".

I think i'll try to build a complex search-help ( with "Search help exit").

Did you use it?

Mybe by overwrite the "hit list display" event , i'll menage to solve my problem.

Thanks,

koby

Did you use it?

No .. I haven't tried for such a scenario

Hi,

Never say never....

Sometimes you need to give the customer a flexible search help.

If someday you'll need help on this , call me.

Hi,

Hope you got the solution.

can you please place it in wiki section.

Re: Search help for filename+path

Former Member — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 13:00:58 GMT

Hi Keshav,

I built it!

I made a search help with function-exit.

How do i publish it as a wiki?

The function-exit is:

FUNCTION yf4if_shlp_exit_filepath.

*"----

""Local interface:

*" TABLES

*" SHLP_TAB TYPE SHLP_DESCT

*" RECORD_TAB STRUCTURE SEAHLPRES

*" CHANGING

*" VALUE(SHLP) TYPE SHLP_DESCR

*" VALUE(CALLCONTROL) LIKE DDSHF4CTRL STRUCTURE DDSHF4CTRL

*"----

EXIT immediately, if you do not want to handle this step

IF callcontrol-step <> 'SELONE' AND

callcontrol-step <> 'SELECT' AND

" AND SO ON

callcontrol-step <> 'DISP'.

EXIT.

ENDIF.

*"----

STEP SELONE (Select one of the elementary searchhelps)

*"----

This step is only called for collective searchhelps. It may be used
to reduce the amount of elementary searchhelps given in SHLP_TAB.
The compound searchhelp is given in SHLP.
If you do not change CALLCONTROL-STEP, the next step is the
dialog, to select one of the elementary searchhelps.
If you want to skip this dialog, you have to return the selected
elementary searchhelp in SHLP and to change CALLCONTROL-STEP to
either to 'PRESEL' or to 'SELECT'.

IF callcontrol-step = 'SELONE'.

PERFORM SELONE .........

EXIT.

ENDIF.

*"----

STEP PRESEL (Enter selection conditions)

*"----

This step allows you, to influence the selection conditions either
before they are displayed or in order to skip the dialog completely.
If you want to skip the dialog, you should change CALLCONTROL-STEP
to 'SELECT'.
Normaly only SHLP-SELOPT should be changed in this step.

IF callcontrol-step = 'PRESEL'.

PERFORM PRESEL ..........

callcontrol-step = 'SELECT'.

EXIT.

ENDIF.

*"----

STEP SELECT (Select values)

*"----

This step may be used to overtake the data selection completely.
To skip the standard seletion, you should return 'DISP' as following
step in CALLCONTROL-STEP.
Normally RECORD_TAB should be filled after this step.
Standard function module F4UT_RESULTS_MAP may be very helpfull in this
step.

IF callcontrol-step = 'SELECT'.

callcontrol-step = 'DISP'.

EXIT. "Don't process STEP DISP additionally in this call.

ENDIF.

*"----

STEP DISP (Display values)

*"----

This step is called, before the selected data is displayed.
You can e.g. modify or reduce the data in RECORD_TAB
according to the users authority.
If you want to get the standard display dialog afterwards, you
should not change CALLCONTROL-STEP.
If you want to overtake the dialog on you own, you must return
the following values in CALLCONTROL-STEP:
- "RETURN" if one line was selected. The selected line must be
the only record left in RECORD_TAB. The corresponding fields of
this line are entered into the screen.
- "EXIT" if the values request should be aborted
- "PRESEL" if you want to return to the selection dialog
Standard function modules F4UT_PARAMETER_VALUE_GET and
F4UT_PARAMETER_RESULTS_PUT may be very helpfull in this step.

IF callcontrol-step = 'DISP'.
