ID 'OWNER' FIELD FILE-OWNER

Use the Below function module:

DATA: lcl_directory TYPE char128.

lcl_directory = '/local/data/interface/A28/DM/OUT'.

CALL FUNCTION '/SAPDMC/LSM_F4_SERVER_FILE'

EXPORTING

directory = lcl_directory

filemask = c_mask

IMPORTING

serverfile = p_f2

EXCEPTIONS

canceled_by_user = 1

OTHERS = 2.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

MESSAGE e000(zmm) WITH text-039.
flg_app = 'X'.

ENDIF.

Here is application server browser program.



report zrich_0001 .

data: begin of itab occurs 0,
      rec(1000) type c,
      end of itab.
data: wa(1000) type c.

data: p_file type localfile.
data: ifile type table of  salfldir with header line.

parameters: p_path type salfile-longname
                    default '/usr/sap/TST/DVEBMGS01/data/'.


call function 'RZL_READ_DIR_LOCAL'
     exporting
          name           = p_path
     tables
          file_tbl       = ifile
     exceptions
          argument_error = 1
          not_found      = 2
          others         = 3.

loop at ifile.
  format hotspot on.
  write:/ ifile-name.
  hide ifile-name.
  format hotspot off.
endloop.


at line-selection.

  concatenate p_path ifile-name into p_file.

  clear itab.  refresh itab.
  open dataset p_file for input in text mode.
  if sy-subrc = 0.
    do.
      read dataset p_file into wa.
      if sy-subrc <> 0.

Hi,

Thanks.But in this Fm the length of Directory name path is 60 characters.

Re: Method to read directory from App.server

Former Member — Fri, 22 Sep 2006 14:09:53 GMT

Hi,

Yes, thats correct. But then a path of 60 character should be more than enough.

Best regards,

Prashant

The 'RZL_READ_DIR_LOCAL' function module accepts a filepath of 200 characters.
