Replacement for function module F4_FILENAME?

VijayaKrishnaG — Thu, 23 Apr 2015 10:57:27 GMT

Dear Experts, Good Day.

In my organization very recently SAP has upgraded from ECC6 - EHP0 to EHP6. Now I am facing issues like F4_FILENAME is not able to capture the selected file name/path. I found replacement for this as CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_OPEN_DIALOG( ).

But, here my problem is there are more than 50 transactions/programs which are calling function modules F4_FILENAME or KD_GET_FILENAME_ON_F4. Am I need to change all these programs or is there any other efficient solution to resolve this problem at once???

Thanks and Regards,

Vijay

Dear Vijay,

Procedural approach is getting obsolute.

So i wll suggest to go with CL_GUL_FRONTEND_SERVICES class. that is better option.

I dont see any alternative to your solution.

It will code copy paste option.

hope this helps.

Hi Jeetendra, firstly thanks for the response.

As mentioned in my query, I already found that CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES as the alternative. And even I have modified in one program. But there are 50+ programs, so is that only way to change all those programs or what? That is what I am searching for.

Thankyou,

Vijay

Hi,

Please check if you can put implicit enhancement point at the beginning of F4_FILENAME

to call CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_OPEN_DIALOG( ) and return .

I am at home I cannot check it now .
