How to access Application Server File Attributes

Former Member — Wed, 20 Dec 2006 12:18:38 GMT

Hi All,

I have a requirement to access a application server directory. (Transaction Code AL11). I have a directory path with me. I need to check all the files exists in that directory. The file which is <b>most recent</b>, i need to copy its data into another directory. I have to perform this through ABAP program. Have anyone done similar thing before? I know that there are certain FMs through which you can execute UNIX command but i am not sure on that.

I would appreciate if anyone can help me in this.

Regards,

Jignesh

Hi,

use fm EPS_GET_FILE_ATTRIBUTES

use that sample:

REPORT zforum66 .

TABLES epsf.

PARAMETERS dir LIKE epsf-epsdirnam DEFAULT '/home/usr/'.

PARAMETERS file LIKE epsf-epsfilnam DEFAULT 'test01'.

DATA mtime TYPE p DECIMALS 0.

DATA time(10).

DATA date LIKE sy-datum.

CALL FUNCTION 'EPS_GET_FILE_ATTRIBUTES'

EXPORTING

file_name = file

dir_name = dir

IMPORTING

file_size = epsf-epsfilsiz

file_owner = epsf-epsfilown

file_mode = epsf-epsfilmod

file_type = epsf-epsfiltyp

file_mtime = mtime

EXCEPTIONS

read_directory_failed = 1

read_attributes_failed = 2

OTHERS = 3.

PERFORM p6_to_date_time_tz(rstr0400) USING mtime

time
