Input File Name

Former Member — Mon, 07 Oct 2013 12:26:53 GMT

Hi,

I would like to have input file name as ABC_date.csv ....This name will be default and user just have to choose the path to store this file. I have created default file name as ABC_20130907.CSV but for this when I click on F4 then I have to first copy this name and have to put it as File Name in navigation window. Can it be possible that when we click on F4 button and this default file name would appear in that window ? ...Otherwise please suggest any possible way.

Thanks.

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_save_dialog "File Save Dialog PopUp

            default_extension = ''

            default_file_name = 'filename'        " SET THE DEFAULT FILE NAME HERE

            initial_directory = 'C:\Users\Applexus\Desktop'           "DEFAULT LOCATION FOR POPUP

          CHANGING

            filename          = lv_filename

            path              = lv_drivepath

            fullpath          = lv_filepath

            user_action       = lv_result.

     .

Hope this Helps

Hi ,

There is one workaround I know in which in the AT_SELECTION SCREEN ON F4 routine You can replace the entire string after the Last "\" with your default file name

So irrespective what user selects it would be the default file that would be selected.

Hi,

This can be done but it's not proper solution. Can we only select path through F4 ?....Actually it is not going ahead untill we give file name.

Thanks.

Hi ,

if you just want the default name of file abc_date.csv then you can use class suggested by shivaganesh or if you want the file to abc_date.csv to be irrespective of the selected you can suggest the option suggested by me.

Request you to please explain us the requirement in detail

Regards and Thanks,

Hi,

I understood what you are suggesting. Can we select only path through F4 help??....So that user will select only path and i can be able to append file name ahead of that.

Thanks.

let the user first select the path or directory where he needs to place the file using F4 and then concatenate your filename to the path selected by the user .

sample code is mentioned in the below link.

Use Following Code.

PARAMETERS: P_FILE TYPE LOCALFILE.

AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR P_FILE.

DATA: File_Path_Str TYPE STRING.

CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>DIRECTORY_BROWSE

EXPORTING

WINDOW_TITLE = 'Your Folder'

CHANGING

SELECTED_FOLDER = File_Path_Str

EXCEPTIONS

CNTL_ERROR = 1.

CALL METHOD CL_GUI_CFW=>FLUSH

EXCEPTIONS

CNTL_SYSTEM_ERROR = 1

CNTL_ERROR = 2.

After this concatenate File_Path_Str to P_FILE. Also you can concatenate variables to the same as per your wish.

Sandeep.

Hi,

I guess what you are saying is user should only be only able to select the path and by default

the user would be storing a default file name.

I am not aware of any such option will let you know once I come know about it.

But the workaround I suggested can be used as an alternative.
