matchcode to search files

Former Member — Wed, 28 May 2008 10:16:48 GMT

Hi,

In my dynpro I have a "text box" to enter a name of a file.

How can I add a matchcode to this "text box" so as to I can select a file ? (I want to see the typical window to select a file).

Thanks

Hello,

you could just call the function F4_Filename.

Hi Oscar,

You can call function module F4_FILENAME to activate the search help under 'process on value-request' event.

DATA: carrid TYPE spfli-carrid,

hlp TYPE string,

struc TYPE dfies-tabname,

comp TYPE dfies-fieldname.

DESCRIBE FIELD carrid HELP-ID hlp.

SPLIT hlp AT '-' INTO struc comp.

CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_FIELD_VALUE_REQUEST' EXPORTING tabname = struc

fieldname = comp

EXCEPTIONS field_not_found = 1

no_help_for_field = 2

inconsistent_help = 3

no_values_found = 4

OTHERS = 5.

Reward if useful.

Can you give me more details?

In what place put I it?? In the "search help" property of the "text box" in the screen painter??

Hello,

use cl_gui_front_end_services=>get_filename. F4_Filename only stores filenames in a 128 byte field, which is definitly to short in out tmes, a unc path can be easily much longer then that.

For example, how also said other colleagues:

DATA: FILEBIN TYPE  FILETABLE,
      FILESTR TYPE FILE_TABLE,
      RC TYPE I.
PARAMETERS: FILE TYPE FILENAME.

AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR FILE.
  CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_OPEN_DIALOG
    CHANGING FILE_TABLE = FILEBIN
             RC         = RC.
  IF SY-SUBRC IS INITIAL.
    READ TABLE FILEBIN INTO FILESTR INDEX 1.
    FILE = FILESTR-FILENAME.
  ENDIF.

Good luck.
