FILE_GET_SIZE

Former Member — Thu, 21 Jul 2005 13:00:04 GMT

Hi, profs!

I found a problem using CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES meth FILE_GET_SIZE. It does not return an value.

I tried FILE_EXIST, FILE_GET_ATTRIBUTES - all works properly, but not FILE_GET_SIZE. At all! I tried with existing file and not existing - always 0.

Is anybody familiar with this problem?

With best regards,

Constantine

Hi Konstantin,

No not familiar, but that is because i use the following code to determine both the existance AND the file size of any file:

    DATA: FILETAB TYPE TABLE OF FILE_INFO,
          FILEREC TYPE FILE_INFO,
          COUNT TYPE i,
          FZISE TYPE i.
    CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>DIRECTORY_LIST_FILES
      EXPORTING
        DIRECTORY                   = '<Yourfilename>'
        FILTER                      = ''
        FILES_ONLY                  = 'X'
      CHANGING
        FILE_TABLE                  = FILETAB
        COUNT                       = COUNT
      EXCEPTIONS
        CNTL_ERROR                  = 1
        DIRECTORY_LIST_FILES_FAILED = 2
        WRONG_PARAMETER             = 3
        ERROR_NO_GUI                = 4
        others                      = 5.

    IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
      RAISE CNTL_ERROR.
    ENDIF.

    IF COUNT = 0.
*     Does not exist
      RESULT = ABAP_FALSE.
      FSIZE  = 0.
    ELSE.
*     Does exist
      RESULT = ABAP_TRUE.
      READ FILETAB INDEX 1 INTO FILEREC.
      FSIZE = FILEREC-FILELENGTH.
    ENDIF.

Hope this helps you,

Regards,

Rob.

Thanks, Rob!

I spent some time and find func working properly - GUI_GET_FILE_INFO. Not very clever, but fast.

I tryed foollow you suggestion - all ok.

I think i try to measure processing time for both methods and apply fastest.

Greatly thanks,

Constantin

Hi Konstantin ,

method file_get_size works - you've forgotten the <b>flush</b>!

try that:

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_get_size
  EXPORTING
    file_name            = str
   IMPORTING
     file_size            = size.

<b>CALL METHOD  cl_gui_cfw=>flush( ).</b>
WRITE: / file(50), size.

regards Andreas
