CALL FUNCTION 'F4_FILENAME'

IMPORTING

FILE_NAME = p_file.

This will povide F4 help (browse) for the input file. But I want my input file to be restricted only to text file. How I will do that.

HI abhay,

u can use oop concepts for this..

data: it_tab type filetable,

gd_subrc type i.

CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_OPEN_DIALOG

EXPORTING

WINDOW_TITLE = 'Select File'

DEFAULT_FILENAME = '*.txt'

MULTISELECTION = 'X'

CHANGING

FILE_TABLE = it_tab

RC = gd_subrc.

here only the text files might be displayed...

i have never tried it but pls chck it once...

hope this helps u a bit,

all the best,

regards,

sampath
