Hi,

Is there any standard class or a method for automatic folder creation in AL11 in background. I have got a FM BRAN_DIR_CREATE but i have to modify this into zFM. Can you suggest any other way.

Thanks,

Hi,

try below code

data: filename like   rlgrap-filename. 
data: begin of table occurs 500,        
        .....   
      end of table.
dir = filename = 'mkdir directoryname'. 

call 'SYSTEM' id 'COMMAND' field filename
                  id 'TAB' field table[].

SAP recommend officially to define the command via transaction code SM49 (= SM69) and the function modules SXPG... Direct kernel call is not supported by SAP.

Official way: define the command (the one you could use at operating system level) in transaction code SM49 and execute it via function module SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE. Search the Web for more information.
