F4 Help in a function module

Former Member — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 11:01:53 GMT

Hi,

i have developed a Function Module where in i need to down load data in to a PDF file. While downloading i need to give F4 help to user for selecting the path to where to store the file. I am able to get it with the fm DOWNLOAD but it is outdated now.

Can i know any other technique to give F4 help in a function module. Please note mine is not a report with selection screen. It is a FM from where i need to down load data into local system.

Regards,

Pavan Jhawar.

Hi Pavan,

You can use method file_open_dialog of class cl_gui_frontend_services.

The file name will be in the field filename of the changing parameter file_table.

Hope it helps.

I don't think we can have f4 for importing parameters in FM , you may specify a dafault value (e.g C:\) and this can be changed by the user.
