Hi ,

I need to write a code like this..

I must use a FM and bring the output(file names) and check for it which comes out in a structure format. The main thing is ..I must check if the file names start with ‘AGE’ or “DOB’ with some other continuations .How do I check this?

Can anyone please help me with the code?

Thank you

I am not very clear how you are planning to get the file names. I assume you are selecting multiple files from system.

* Here selecting multiple files from PC

DATA: i_file_table TYPE filetable,

w_file_table TYPE file_table,

v_rc TYPE I.

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_open_dialog

EXPORTING

INITIAL_DIRECTORY = 'C:\'

multiselection = 'X'

CHANGING

file_table = i_file_table

rc = v_rc

EXCEPTIONS

file_open_dialog_failed = 1

cntl_error = 2

error_no_gui = 3

not_supported_by_gui = 4

OTHERS = 5.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

Do some Error Handling

ENDIF.

* Checking for AGE and DOB in file name

LOOP AT i_file_table INTO w_file_table.

IF w_file_name-filename(3) = 'AGE' OR

w_file_name-filename(3) = 'DOB'.

Do the Processing here

ENDIF.

ENDLOOP.

Hi,

Check this example..This will get the file names that starts with AGE.

data: FILE_TABLE TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF FILE_INFO.

data: wa_file type file_info.

data: count type i.

CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>DIRECTORY_LIST_FILES

EXPORTING

DIRECTORY = 'C:\'

FILTER = 'AGE.'

files_only = 'X'

changing

FILE_TABLE = file_table[]

count = count.

loop at file_table into wa_file.

write: / wa_file-filename.

endloop.

Thanks,

Naren

Hey to say exactly ..I am going to get the files ,but the name of the documents attached.The only thing I want is ..if the names are of 2 kinds...like AGE and DOB,how do we check them?

Can I do like this?

IF DOC_NAME = AGE_*.

xxxxxxxx

ELSEIF DOC_NAME = DOB_*.

yyyyyy

ENDIF.

Or is there something else I have to write to check the name?

This will not work

IF DOC_NAME = AGE_*.

xxxxxxxx

ELSEIF DOC_NAME = DOB_*.

yyyyyy

ENDIF.

You must use like this

IF DOC_NAME(4) = 'AGE_'.

xxxxxxxx

ELSEIF DOC_NAME(4) = 'DOB_'.

yyyyyy

ENDIF.

Hi Bharat,

Use offset opearaion to check for the values.

Check like this.

IF DOC_NAME+0(3) = 'AGE'.

Write: 'Starts with AGE'.

ELSEIF DOC_NAME+0(3) = 'DOB'.

Write: 'Starts with DOB'.

ENDIF.
