Former Member — Thu, 01 May 2008 04:49:14 GMT

Hi,

I need to create a file at runtime (by selecting the drive and to create a file) for storing the contents of internal table into file

IS there any FM available,as it needs to ask the directory and after typing filename, it needs to save.

Kindly do the needful.

Regards,

sathish.

Hi,

Do you need to display the Saving location to the user ? If that is your requirement then you can use the following function module: POPUP_TO_SAVE.

Hope that will help. Else let me know.

Thanks,

From your description it sounds like you want to use GUI_DOWNLOAD after getting the filename using something like the cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_save_dialog method... if so, have a look at this example:

and there are plenty more within SDN.

Hi,

Thanks for your replies. Actually my requirement is that user needs to create a file at runtime (by pressing F4 in selection screen and in the dialog box, he needs to enter the filename and directory where the file needs to be stored) and then the datas should be passed to that file using GUI_DOWNLOAD.

I tried with F4_FILENAME but it allows to get the path for the existing file .

Kindly assist me.
