API for creating a directory in the application server

Former Member — Mon, 31 Oct 2005 16:01:24 GMT

Hello,

Does anyone knows a way to create a directory in the application server? Something similar to

CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES but for managing files in the application server?

Thanks in advance

Actually, CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>Directory_Create works really good for me.



REPORT ZRICH_0001 .

data: path type string.
data: rc type sy-subrc.


path = '\172.52.72.651qfilesvr400S109XXXXusrsapTSTSYStest'.



CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>DIRECTORY_CREATE
  EXPORTING
    DIRECTORY                = path
  CHANGING
    RC                       = rc
  EXCEPTIONS
    DIRECTORY_CREATE_FAILED  = 1
    CNTL_ERROR               = 2
    ERROR_NO_GUI             = 3
    PATH_NOT_FOUND           = 4
    DIRECTORY_ACCESS_DENIED  = 5
    DIRECTORY_ALREADY_EXISTS = 6
    UNKNOWN_ERROR            = 7
    others                   = 8
        .
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
*            WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.

Is there something like CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES that you can use during background jobs? I'm looking for something that will allow me to move/rename files and create directories.
