Hi,

we Can use this method cl_gui_frontend_services=>directory_list_files

to get the list of files not only from local server but also from a different server(other than R/3).

Check the sample code

REPORT ZGRO_TESTT.

DATA: FILE_TABLE TYPE FILETABLE.

DATA: COUNT TYPE I.

START-OF-SELECTION.

CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>DIRECTORY_LIST_FILES

EXPORTING

DIRECTORY = 'C:\'

DIRECTORY = '
server\server1'

CHANGING

FILE_TABLE = FILE_TABLE

COUNT = COUNT.

IF SY-SUBRC 0.

WRITE: / SY-SUBRC.

ENDIF.

BREAK-POINT.

END-OF-SELECTION.

Reward useful Answers

Regards,

Raj.

Hi,

check out the below sample code

DATA: gt_filetab TYPE TABLE OF file_info,

wa_filetab LIKE LINE OF gt_filetab,

lv_konyvtar_string TYPE string,

...

REFRESH gt_filetab.

lv_konyvtar_string = 'C:\Temp'

CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>DIRECTORY_LIST_FILES

EXPORTING directory = lv_konyvtar_string

CHANGING file_table = gt_filetab

count = gv_count
