Hi Shekar,

CALL FUNCTION '/SAPDMC/LSM_F4_SERVER_FILE'

    IMPORTING

      serverfile       = p_log

    EXCEPTIONS

      canceled_by_user = 1

      OTHERS           = 2.

  IF sy-subrc <> 0.

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

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

  ENDIF.

Check if this function module there in version 4.0

Use FM F4_DXFILENAME_TOPRECURSION

Sample code here

report ztest.

data : filename like DXFIELDS-LONGPATH.

data : begin of itab occurs 0,

a(200) type c,

end of itab.

*----

---

CALL FUNCTION 'F4_DXFILENAME_TOPRECURSION'

EXPORTING

I_LOCATION_FLAG = 'A'

*I_SERVER = '?'

*I_PATH =

FILEMASK = '.*'

*FILEOPERATION = 'R'

IMPORTING

*O_LOCATION_FLAG =

*O_SERVER =

O_PATH = filename

*ABEND_FLAG =

EXCEPTIONS

RFC_ERROR = 1

ERROR_WITH_GUI = 2

OTHERS = 3

.

*----

---

break-point.

open dataset filename for input in binary mode.

while sy-subrc = 0.

clear itab .

read dataset filename into itab.

append itab.

endwhile.

*----

---

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'

EXPORTING

BIN_FILESIZE =

FILENAME = 'd:\abc.txt'

FILETYPE = 'BIN'

TABLES

DATA_TAB = itab

.

Hi

Using the below declarations, you can get the Browse Functionality for File Path.

So that you can give the Application Server's Path.

parameter: p_file TYPE IBIPPARMS-PATH.

at selection-screen on value-request for p_file.

call function 'F4_FILENAME'

importing

FILE_NAME = p_file.

OR

CALL FUNCTION 'F4_DXFILENAME_TOPRECURSION'

EXPORTING

I_LOCATION_FLAG = 'A'

*I_SERVER = '?'

*I_PATH =

FILEMASK = '.*'

*FILEOPERATION = 'R'

IMPORTING

*O_LOCATION_FLAG =

*O_SERVER =

O_PATH = filename

*ABEND_FLAG =

EXCEPTIONS

RFC_ERROR = 1

ERROR_WITH_GUI = 2

OTHERS = 3

• FILEMASK = '.'

• FILEOPERATION = 'R'

• IMPORTING

• O_SERVER =

• O_PATH =

• ABEND_FLAG =

• EXCEPTIONS

Hi

Copy paste the following code and see the result

Here you can see 2 types of open dialogs

1. Directory View

2. File View

Use any one as per your requirement.

DATA : l_filetable TYPE filetable,

l_rc TYPE i.

DATA: l_folder TYPE string,

l_file TYPE string.

PARAMETERS: p_folder(100) TYPE c,

p_file(100) TYPE c.

*Provide a Dialogue box for getting a folder path

AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR p_folder.

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>directory_browse

EXPORTING

window_title = 'Select Folder Path'

initial_folder = 'D:\'

CHANGING

selected_folder = l_folder.

p_folder = l_folder.

*Provide a Dialogue box for getting a file path

AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR p_file.

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_open_dialog

EXPORTING

window_title = 'Select a Text File'

initial_directory = l_folder

CHANGING

file_table = l_filetable

rc = l_rc.

Reward points generously

READ TABLE l_filetable INTO p_file INDEX 1.

CHECK sy-subrc <> 0.
