Hello,

you can customize your logical Filepath in Transaction FILE and read it in your program with function FILE_GET_NAME.

This will allow you to have a different physical path on test environment and in production system.

Hi Santhosh,

if you are on FS8 or above service pack it should work.

However check this FM that could help you

/SAPDMC/LSM/F4_SERVER_FILE or /SAPDMC/LSM_F4_SERVER_FILE.

But you need to mention the directory

Hi Santhosh,

Please try that FM, it will work, you don't need to pass the Directory in the FM Parameters.

I said you must know the Directory that you necessarily want to use.

Hope this helps

Hi Santhosh,

Try KD_GET_FILENAME_ON_F4,  I just found now.

Hello Bhargav,

Thanks for your quick reply.

As per previous mail , KD_GET_FILENAME_F4

i think we can use only for local system data not application server.

Nope you are wrong. You can use it for both. Check this program for more information.

RFBVBIC2.

You can pass LOCAL_FLAG as 'A' to open Application server. you can pass as 'P' for presentation server.

hope this is clear.
