But i need the Folder path and not the file path.

I already tried FM F4_dxfilename_toprecursion, but it returns the filepath and not the folder.

My requirement is to Create a file at the selected folder path.

Thanks,

Anon.

Hi,

The problem was not solved by using the FMs you provided.

After searching a lot, we got a function module which solved the problem.

The FM is '/SAPDMC/LSM_F4_SERVER_FILE'.

Thanks,

Anon

Hi Vrithika,

FM '/SAPDMC/LSM_F4_SERVER_FILE' will suit your requirement.

To retrieve only folder paths, pass the FILEMASK as 'directory' to the function module

Hi Rojer,

Can u pls elaborate what do u mean by passing 'directory' to FILEMASK parameter.

I do have the similar requirement of getting the directory path not the filepath.

Thanks in advance.
