If you know the complete network path to the application server, you can use the GUI frontend control to do this. For example, this works good for me.




report zrich_0001.


parameters: p_file type localfile.


at selection-screen on value-request for p_file.


  data: ifile type filetable.
  data: xfile like line of ifile.
  data: rc type i.

  call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_open_dialog
    exporting
       initial_directory
        = '\<host_name>usrsapTST'
    changing
      file_table              = ifile
      rc                      = rc.

  read table ifile into xfile index 1.
  check sy-subrc = 0.
  p_file = xfile-filename.

Hi,

The FM used for obtaining an F4 help from application server is - /SAPDMC/LSM_F4_SERVER_FILE.

The FM used for obtaining files from application server - SUBST_GET_FILE_LIST.
