Hi Sai Rohit,

You can check table 'filepath' or TCODE 'AL11'.

The function module FILE_GET_NAME is based on the concept of Logical Files and Logical Paths, i.e. transaction code SFILE (old TCode: FILE). See SAP documentation for more information, or search the Web.

The corresponding customizing tables are: FILENAMECI, FILENAME, etc.

Anyway, to know the tables, as always, just do a SQL trace when you run SFILE.

(old FILE) As it is a simple SM34 parameter transaction, just look at cluster definition FILENAME with transaction SE54.look at the ddic views to find tables behind.

(new SFILE) run an abap or sql trace as usual (or perform some reverse engineering on the class executed by the transaction)
