Validate application server file

Former Member — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 14:41:43 GMT

Hi,

I have to validate the application server file path on selection screen.

I am using following code :

form VALID_APP_FILEPATH using p_filpath TYPE FILENAME-FILEINTERN.

data : l_fname(60).

CALL FUNCTION 'FILE_GET_NAME'

EXPORTING

LOGICAL_FILENAME = p_filpath

OPERATING_SYSTEM = SY-OPSYS

IMPORTING

FILE_NAME = L_FNAME

EXCEPTIONS

FILE_NOT_FOUND = 1

OTHERS = 2.

IF SY-SUBRC ne 0.

MESSAGE 'Enter the valid file path'(e01) TYPE 'E'.

ENDIF.

endform. " VALID_APP_FILEPATH

but if i choose correct file path from F4 help also.

It displays error message.

Sy-subrc always equals 1.

Help me out

This FM "FILE_GET_NAME" is used get the physical file name of a logical file.You can't use it to validate the file.You have to use OPEN DATASET statement to validate the file from application server.

I have implemented the code mentioned by you and am not having any problems even when I use F4 to get the fle name.

Pls recheck and get back if the error persists.

Reward if found helpful.
