F4 for folder search on server

[Former Member]

Hi gurus,

I've created a report which has a selection value fora folder on the server. The idea is to select a folder on the server just like FM TMP_GUI_BROWSE_FOR_FOLDER does for local folders on the PC. Is there a function module/class I can use for this.

kind regards,

Wim

Hi,

Try class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES>DIRECTORY_BROWSE.

Thanks for the reply's but CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES is only for frontend browsing, not on server.

And /SAPDMC/LSM_F4_SERVER_FILE also shows the filenames, I just want the folders.

Hi, Try this way.

"use the below function module it can use both for application and presentation...
 
    CALL FUNCTION 'F4_DXFILENAME_TOPRECURSION'
      EXPORTING
        i_location_flag = 'A'   "a for application path and P for presntation palth
        i_server        = ' '
        i_path          = w_path
        filemask        = ' '
        fileoperation   = 'R'
      IMPORTING
        o_path          = w_path.
 
"or use the below function module..
 
  CALL FUNCTION '/SAPDMC/LSM_F4_SERVER_FILE'
    EXPORTING
      directory  = w_path       "if any directory you want to show defalt
      filemask   = ' '
    IMPORTING
      serverfile = w_path.        "the return file stores here
