Hi,

The physical path is the real one, the logical path is an ID to indicate a physical (so real) path.

In this way u can create a costant LOGICAL PATH to be used in your programs and (if you need it) change the only the real (physical) path linked to a logical path.

So you can manage your real path in only one point: the table that links the logical and physical path.

For more info Go through below links ..

You can link a logical path to any logical filename. The logical path provides a platform-specific physical path for any logical filename.

u can refer to below links:

Hi Kanny,

Logical filepath is system independent path name maintained in SAP to represent physical location of directory on UNIX / WINDOWS or any other operating system..

Example : you can create ZTEST as logical filepath to represent some folder /user/sap/test.

Please refer table PATH to get mapping between logical and physical filepaths.
