dynamic server path

Former Member — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 07:04:16 GMT

can anyone tell me if changing the line below-->


SERVER_PATH TYPE string VALUE '\bwdevtbwdtemp',

to this will work-->

if sy-sysid = 'BWD'.
server_path TYPE string VALUE  '\bwdevtbwdtemp'.
elseif sy-sysid = 'BWP'.
server_path TYPE string VALUE  '\bwpsrvbwdtemp'.
endif.

or is there a better way?

Hi William,

Yes it will work and there is nothing wrong in this as I told earlier also.

Hi William,

Path should be of type rlgrap-filename.

Instead of hardcoding the filepath, you can use the FM /SAPDMC/LSM_F4_SERVER_FILE at the event 'AT SELECTION SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST'. This will provide an F4 help for the field (for filepath) and the user will be able to select any path in the application server.

Thanks

Vijay

Hi ..

You have to change the code like this.

data : server_path TYPE string .

case sy-sysid

when 'BWD'.

server_path = '
bwdevt\bwdtemp'.

case 'BWP'.

server_path = '
bwpsrv\bwdtemp'.

endcase.
