Hi,

RLGRAP is a structure which can be used for defining File related Screen fields. For example, if you want to provide a selection screen with a parameter for file path for upload or download - following statement can be used:

parameters: pa_file TYPE RLGRAP-FILENAME.

Hi,

RLGRAP is a structure that contains the fields realated to a File e.g. File name, File Type etc.

Generally, RLGRAP-FILENAME is used to define an input field on the screen.

e.g.

Report ZTEST.

Parameters : P_FILE LIKE RLGRAP-FILENAME.

This will create an input box where u can enter a file location like C:\Himanshu\Test.xls.

Then using this location u can either upload/download the file.

Regards,

Himanshu

Hello Jamshad,

RLGRAP is a structure which is used by many standard Function modules which are related to File uploads and downloads. And RLGRAP-FILENAME is of type C length 132 characters.

For some standard Function modules their parameter to accept File name will be of this type, when we are using Funtion modules the types of the Import and Export parameters should be type compatible, i.e their type and length should be same.

<b>Example:

PARAMETERS: file TYPE rlgrap-filename DEFAULT 'data_file.txt'.</b>

Reward points for useful answers.
