Hi All,

Is there any function module in ABAP to convert the Directory Parameter name in the TCODE AL11 into the corresponding path? If not how can we convert that dir parameter name to corresponding path?

Thanks in advance,

Points will be rewarded for sure...

Regards,

Bijesh

CALL FUNCTION 'FILE_GET_NAME'

EXPORTING

client = sy-mandt

logical_filename = p_filout

operating_system = sy-opsys

IMPORTING

file_name = w_phy_fname

EXCEPTIONS

file_not_found = 1

OTHERS = 2.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno

WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.

ENDIF.

In the obove example I use the function module 'FILE_GET_NAME'

It gives the file path.

INPUT-

logical_filename.

OUTPUT-

Physical_filename.

Note: If you want logical path and physical file name.

We can get by using the following function module.

‘FILE_GET_NAME_USING_PATH’.

INPUT-

Logical path & Physical file name.

OUTPUT-

Physical path & Physical file name.

Regards,

Vishal

CONCATENATE 'tmp'

sy-sysid

'data'

into filename

separated by '\'.

Hi Vishal,

I think you have given me the right solution. But am not able to test it.

I went to the AL11 screen and took one logical file name. and passed the same to the function. But i am getting the File Not Found Error (SY-SUBRC - 1).

Can you plz tell me why it could be?

use syntax

 CALL 'C_SAPGPARAM' ID 'NAME'  FIELD 'DIR_BINARY'
                    ID 'VALUE' FIELD path.

Just change the value 'DIR_BINARY' for different path and you will get unix parth in variable 'path'

'C_SAPGPARAM' is system function. Normally external programs written in C
