F4_Filename Function Module not in BW?

[Former Member]

I usually use this in a selection screen for browsing my drives to select a file, but it does not exist in BW. Anybody know a similar Function Module in BW I could use in its place that uses the same parameters?

Thank-You.

Do you have the class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES . There is a method. Its called FILE_OPEN_DIALOG.

report zrich_0001.

data: ifile type filetable.
data: xfile like line of ifile.
data: rc type i.

parameters: p_file type localfile.

at selection-screen on value-request for p_file.


  call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_open_dialog
    exporting
*     WINDOW_TITLE            =
*     DEFAULT_EXTENSION       =
*     DEFAULT_FILENAME        =
*     FILE_FILTER             =
*     WITH_ENCODING           =
      initial_directory       = 'C:'
*     MULTISELECTION          =
    changing
      file_table              = ifile
      rc                      = rc
*     USER_ACTION             =
*     FILE_ENCODING           =
    exceptions
      file_open_dialog_failed = 1
      cntl_error              = 2
      error_no_gui            = 3
      not_supported_by_gui    = 4
      others                  = 5
          .

  read table ifile into xfile index 1.
  if sy-subrc = 0.
    p_file = xfile-filename.
  endif.
