Hello all,

Hi Bogdan,

Try using the following code.

SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK B2 WITH FRAME TITLE TEXT-001.

PARAMETERS: P_FILE LIKE RLGRAP-FILENAME LOWER CASE.

SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK B2.

AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR P_FILE.

CALL FUNCTION 'WS_FILENAME_GET'

EXPORTING

MASK = '., All files (.).'

MODE = '0'

TITLE = 'Get Text File'

IMPORTING

FILENAME = P_FILE

EXCEPTIONS

INV_WINSYS = 1

NO_BATCH = 2

SELECTION_CANCEL = 3

SELECTION_ERROR = 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.

START-OF-SELECTION.

Hi Bogdan,

I don't think you will be able to get the File Navigation dialog for files in the Application Server. That is because you would not have the authorization to the files on the App Server directly. You can look at the files in the App Server (those to which you have the access) through the transaction AL11.

So far as a files on the Presentation Server are concerned, you can use the function modules GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD, which are both very well documented.

Hi,

I intend to create such an application in future. But i suppose that basicly you should use Gui controls classes ( e.g. containers, trees ), CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES and external OS commands for the application server browsing.

Hi Bogdan,

-> create a dynpro with a tree control on the left for filesystem of application server and a tree control on the right with filesystem of the client.

-commands for unix:

 CALL 'SYSTEM' ID 'COMMAND' FIELD COMMAND
                ID 'TAB'     FIELD TABL-*SYS*.

-commands for pc: CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES
