Hi Friends,

i am getting an error, when i am uploading a file. This is because of File Path is more that 1024 char's.

I am using Method FILE_OPEN_DIALOG.

File name size is 1024.

FILENAME CHAR 1024 0 File name

Can you please tell me the ulternate solution for uploading a large file path ( more that 1024 char) files.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Nivas,

try FM 'TMP_GUI_FILE_OPEN_DIALOG' This Function Module alows us to Select a file in Runtime.



DATA: RETURN TYPE I.

call Function 'TMP_GUI_FILE_OPEN_DIALOG'.

EXPORTING
   WINDOW_TITLE = 'FLAT FILE SELECTION'
IMPORTING
    RC                 =    RETURN
    FILE_TABLE  = IT_FNAM.

Regards,

Murthy.

Hi Kumar,

no idea in SAP,

but in Windows OS you can connect a directory as a net drive in Windows Explorer.

If you are using Windows, you can connect a path

SERVER\Directory_1\...\Directory_n

to a free single drive char, e.g. "W".

So you can access files with W:. instead of the long term. Maybe it help you!

Regards,

Klaus

best method for this would be: copy it to your desktop or a particular drive. then upload it from there.. easy solution

store the file on apps server or server that can be reached from SAP and where SAP has open/read permissions, and use OPEN DATASET, READ..., CLOSE.... see ABAP help for these keywords if you're not familiar with reading from a server... you can handle very, very long record lengths with this methodology.

Try calling function module 'F4_FILENAME' under ABAP event AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT ON VALUE REQUEST FOR <p_name>.

Try doing where used list on the function module and you should get many examples in the system.
