Directory_exits syntax error

[Former Member]

Hi!

I would like to use the method cl_gui_frontend_services=>directory_exist.

Something is not working with the returning parameter, but I don't know why?

DATA: lv_talalt TYPE c.

CLEAR lv_talalt.
CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>directory_exist
  EXPORTING
    directory        = lv_directory_string
  RETURNING 
    RESULT           = lv_talalt.

Thanx in adavance

data: lv_talalt type abap_bool.      "<---- Try this

CLEAR lv_talalt.
CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>directory_exist
  EXPORTING
    directory        = lv_directory_string
  RETURNING 
    RESULT           = lv_talalt.

Thanx for the answers, found the solution.

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>directory_exist

EXPORTING

directory = lv_directory_string

RECEIVING "<<<---

result = lv_talalt.

declare it as type string

DATA: lv_talalt TYPE string.

You can also right it like this in a Netweaver Release, then there would have been no confusion with the RETURN/RECIEVING

lv_talalt = cl_gui_frontend_services=>directory_exist( lv_directory_string ).
