Hello,

I am generating files with output which i want to write to the application server in a directory which i want to create thru the program.

I dont want to use system commands (SM69)

Does anyone know if this is possible?

Use function module as WBMR_CREATE_APPL_FOLDER.

Else. Use Download function module and give the path.

Following you can able to create the folder.

Reward points if helpful.

Wrong FM as it creates new folder in Mime-Repository. It is nothing to do with "directory on application server"

Hello,

I have used the following code to accomplish this:

data: l_temppath(150),

l_imagepath(150),

l_commands(500).

l_temppath = 'file path and name'

concatenate 'mkdir' l_imagepath into l_commands separated by ' '.

open dataset l_temppath for output in text mode filter l_commands

encoding default.

close dataset l_temppath.

Hello,

I would not recommend to do so. The usual procedure for this is to ask the basis team to create a folder. Best location for this is a file server that is mounted to the SAP system. On single instance systems it can also be located on the application server - depending on the size of the data that is used (because of the risk to stop the whole SAP system by flooding the file system).

To work with the folder a logical file / path should be used.

In a nutshell: even if you maybe find a function module that enables you to create a directory - bypassing the admins - I would not do it that way.
