Try using CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES... this is really cool for frontend things.

I think you need to handle only one file at a time.

It may not be possible for you to take multiple files./

Hi,

Please declare filepath variable as :-

select-OPTIONS p_cucrin FOR dbtable-string NO INTERVALS..

Then use below code :-

CONSTANTS :c_txt(4) TYPE c VALUE '.txt'.

AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR p_cucrin-low.

DATA: is_file_tab TYPE filetable.

DATA: w_default_extension TYPE string VALUE c_txt.

DATA: is_file_line TYPE file_table.

DATA: w_rc TYPE i.

CLEAR : is_file_tab,

is_file_line.

CLEAR: w_rc,

w_default_extension.

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_open_dialog

EXPORTING

default_extension = w_default_extension

multiselection = abap_false

CHANGING

file_table = is_file_tab

rc = w_rc

EXCEPTIONS

file_open_dialog_failed = 1

cntl_error = 2

error_no_gui = 3

not_supported_by_gui = 4

OTHERS = 5.

IF sy-subrc EQ 0.

*w_rc will hold number of filepaths probably

Loop at is_file_tab INTO is_file_line . " This table will hold the filepaths row by row.

MOVE is_file_line-filename TO p_cucrin. " move this as per your requirement to diff fields

ENDLOOP

ENDIF.

Using above code will provide you filepath length as 1024 characters with F4 help option. also multiple values can be provided to filepath selection screen field. Pass the file names to GUI_UPLOAD FM.

Thanks,

Rupali

Don't use WS_ Fms anymore......These are obsolete......

Use method FILE_OPEN_DIALOG of class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES......Use parameter MULTISELECTION and get all the file names in FILE_TABLE.......
