Hi,

Check this code :

data: begin of it_filedir occurs 10.

include structure salfldir.

data: end of it_filedir.

validation of corrct file path

Get Current Directory Listing for OUT Dir

call function 'RZL_READ_DIR_LOCAL'

exporting

name = p_fdir

tables

file_tbl = it_filedir.

if 'it_filedir' contains any records , that means given path is valid.

existance of file in application server

List of files are contained within table it_filedir

loop at it_filedir.

if x_file eq it_filedir-NAME.

file exist

endif

endloop.

check this FM : '/SAPDMC/LSM_F4_SERVER_FILE' also

Regards

Appana

You could also try to simply open it, if sy-subrc <> 0, then you know the path/filename is not correct.

Hi Sharadha,

I am not sure of any function modules . If you are trying to check the existence of any file in any directory this piece of code should work :

DATA FNAME(60) VALUE 'myfile'.

OPEN DATASET FNAME FOR INPUT.

IF SY-SUBRC = 0.

WRITE / 'File opened'.

.....

ELSE.

WRITE / 'File not found'.

ENDIF.

Varun .

Hi Sharadha,

Have you looked FM EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING or EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_PATH?

Hi ,

Use the following code to check the correct file path.

CONSTANTS : C_FLNAME(100) VALUE

'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789./ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ_'.

(P_UFILE - file path)

CONDENSE P_UFILE.

CLEAR V_STRLEN.

V_STRLEN = STRLEN( P_UFILE ).

Check File name should not contain spaces / special chars.

IF P_UFILE CN C_FLNAME.

Enter valid filename

MESSAGE E000 WITH 'Unix file should contain only'

'alphabets, numbers, ''_'' and ''.''' .

ELSEIF P_UFILE+0(V_STRLEN) CA SPACE.

Enter valid filename

MESSAGE E000 WITH 'Unix file should not contain any spaces'.

ENDIF.

regards,

vara
