Hi,

I am calling GUI_Upload with a parameter type

parameters File(35) type c. "File

Gui upload expects astring, but parameters does allow me to declare a string - how do I get round this.

Thankss.

declare a variable type string inside the your form. Then assign your character type parameter to this string type variable.

Yes, you need to move the parmeter field to a string field because that is what the function module expects.

parameters: p_file(50) type c.
Data: str type string.

str = p_file.

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
     exporting
            file = str.

Hi,

Try doing like this.

PARAMETERS: P_FILE1 LIKE IBIPPARMS-PATH DEFAULT 'C:\'.

data:

V_FILE1 LIKE RLGRAP-FILENAME.

AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR P_FILE1.

PERFORM F4_FILENAME USING P_FILE1.

V_FILE1 = P_FILE1.

IN GUI_UPLOAD, send v_file1 as parameter.
