file interface

hi experts,

I have an issue involving dialog programming and file interface. When I press a button on the screen all the filenames present in a directory are to be populated in a table control. The point where I got stuck is getting the names of all files in a directory. Can any body please help me in this regard. Thanks in advance.

regards

You can use this FM to get the list of all files

TMP_GUI_DIRECTORY_LIST_FILES



  DATA: TBL_FILES LIKE SDOKPATH OCCURS 10 WITH HEADER LINE,
        TBL_DIRS LIKE SDOKPATH OCCURS 10 WITH HEADER LINE.


  CALL FUNCTION 'TMP_GUI_DIRECTORY_LIST_FILES'
       EXPORTING
            DIRECTORY  = P_DIRECTORY
            FILTER         = 'Test*.Txt'   "<< restricts to only TEXT files begining with Test
       TABLES
            FILE_TABLE = TBL_FILES
            DIR_TABLE  = TBL_DIRS.

After getting the files in the TBL_FILES... loop the table and read the files with GUI_UPLOAD FM

Regars,

Hi Naimesh,

I am accesing the files from presentation layer and I used this FM but it is saying filecount as 0 though there are files. I put the filter as '. but still it is not working. Thanks

Hi naimesh,
