Dump while selecting the folder for EXPORT

[Former Member]

We are on ECC6.0 & one of the old programs uses SKTX_DIRECTORY_SELECT.

Can I use CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>DIRECTORY_BROWSE for my purpose to choose the folder.

Thanks,

Kiran

Make sure the types of initial folder and picked folders are strings.

CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>directory_browse( exporting initial_folder = initialFolder
                               changing selected_folder = pickedFolder
                               exceptions cntl_error = 1
                                          error_no_gui = 2
                                          not_supported_by_gui = 3 ).

Initial Folder is not a mandatory one. Can you please explain the purpose of this.

Thanks,

It will give you a popup which will allow to browse the directories in windows.

Thanks. But when I select a folder, it doesn't come on to the parameter box.

try using DIRECTORY_GET_CURRENT method of the class after DIRECTORY_BROWSE

Hi Kartik,

That did not work.

data: p_sel_folder type string,

p_ini_folder type string.

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>directory_browse

EXPORTING

window_title = 'Choose a Folder for the Export Data.'

initial_folder = p_ini_folder

CHANGING

selected_folder = p_sel_folder

EXCEPTIONS

cntl_error = 1

error_no_gui = 2

not_supported_by_gui = 3

others = 4.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>directory_get_current

CHANGING

current_directory = p_sel_folder

EXCEPTIONS

directory_get_current_failed = 1

cntl_error = 2

error_no_gui = 3

not_supported_by_gui = 4

others = 5.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

Thanks,

Kiran

Hi Kiran, <li>I could not find that function module SKTX_DIRECTORY_SELECT in 4.6 and ECC 6.0 also. But anyhow you seem to be looking for function module or method which needs to select directory with a dialog. <li>Try this way.

REPORT ztest_program.
DATA: window_title TYPE string VALUE 'Set download directory'.
DATA: sapworkdir   TYPE string VALUE 'C:\'.

PARAMETERS folder TYPE string.

AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR folder.
  CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>directory_browse
    EXPORTING
      window_title         = window_title
      initial_folder       = sapworkdir
    CHANGING
      selected_folder      = folder
    EXCEPTIONS
      cntl_error           = 1
      error_no_gui         = 2
      not_supported_by_gui = 3
      OTHERS               = 4.
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
*   MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
*              WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
  ENDIF.
  IF folder IS INITIAL.
    MESSAGE 'No folder has been selected' TYPE 'S'.
    EXIT.
  ENDIF.

START-OF-SELECTION.
  WRITE folder.

Thanks Venkat.O
