HI Praveen,

If you will try to upload excel file from the application server it will give many errors. Better upload tab delimited text file from application server.

You can use OPEN DATASET statement for that.

Do F1 on this and you will find detail procedure.

Atish

Hi praveen,

1. I don't think there is any FM

which can display to the user

a dialog screen to select files

from APPLICATION SERVER.

(The path needs to be mentioned directly

as a string/character)

2. For front-end pc,

the FM is

F4_FILENAME.

amit m.

Hi!

To display file selection dialog for application server files proceed as follows:

DATA:

c_file_mask TYPE dxfields-filemask VALUE '*',

searched_dir TYPE dxfields-longpath,

file_path LIKE dxfields-longpath.

searched_dir = 'INITIAL_DIRECTORY_TO_START_WITH'.

TRANSLATE searched_dir TO LOWER CASE .

CALL FUNCTION 'F4_DXFILENAME_TOPRECURSION'

EXPORTING

i_location_flag = 'A'

i_server = ' '

i_path = searched_dir

filemask = c_file_mask

FILEOPERATION = 'R'

IMPORTING

O_LOCATION_FLAG =
O_SERVER =

o_path = file_path

ABEND_FLAG =

EXCEPTIONS

rfc_error = 1

OTHERS = 2.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno

WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.

ENDIF.

file_path is the full path of selected file.

Hope it helps.

Regards,

Maxim.

using FM ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE

upload the data to internal table, that is comma delimited file, so you can do in the other way...

data: begin of itab occurs 0,
        line(300) type c,
      end of itab.
 
data: begin of it_data occurs 0,
      field1..
      field2...
      end of it_data.
 
call function 'GUI_UPLOAD'
  exporting
     filename = 'C:file.csv'
     filetype = 'ASC'
  tables
     data_tab = itab.
 
loop at itab.
  split itab-lineat ',' into
    it_data-field1
    it_data-field2
    it_data-field3.
 append it_data.
endloop.

p_fiel will come from selection screen.

give p_file type rlgrap-filename in the selection screen.

parameters: p_file like rlgrap-filename.
open dataset p_file for output in textmode encoding default.
if sy-subrc = 0.
Loop at it_data.
transfer it_data to p_file.
endloop.
endif.
cloase dataset p_file.

Hi Praveen,

If you want to give F4 help for the Application server

then use the below func.


  CALL FUNCTION '/SAPDMC/LSM_F4_SERVER_FILE'
         EXPORTING
              directory        = ' '
              filemask         = ' '
         IMPORTING
              serverfile       = dl_file
         EXCEPTIONS
              canceled_by_user = 1
              OTHERS           = 2.
    IF sy-subrc <> 0.
      MESSAGE e999 WITH 'Error while getting the file name'(036).
    ELSE.
      p_file =  dl_file.
    ENDIF.

Hope this will help you.

Thanks&Regards,

Hi Praveen,

Can you be a bit clear as I am still not sure whatz the req is and where are you stuck?

For CSV files on your presentation server, you can use FM KCD_CSV_FILE_TO_INTERN_CONVERT to upload it into internal table. The return parameter is of type kcde_intern.

Hope this helps....
