Hi

I think u can use SPILT AT '.' in file name variable to get file extension.

FM not required.

Hi,

No sush FM as per my search.

One suggestion is, get the file name in a variable,

then split it into two.

example:

DATA: str1 TYPE string,

str2 TYPE string,

str3 TYPE string,

itab TYPE TABLE OF string,

text TYPE string.

text = `What a drag it is getting old`.

SPLIT text AT space INTO: str1 str2 str3,

TABLE itab.

Hi,

You can do it with a small code.

Once you get the file name get the string length. From the string lenth get the last three letter of the file name it will give you your extenstion.

Example : W_fnam(100) type c value 'D:\test.txt',

w_strlen type i,

w_ext(3) type c.

w_strlen = strlen (w_fnam).

w_strlen = w_strlen - 3.

w_ext = w_strlen+0(3).

write: w_ext.

The output is TXT.

May be the folder has a '.' in its name. I thinks that this solution doesn´t work in my system.

Hi

Use the FM

SODIS_GET_FILE_EXTENSION

Give the eniter fielname as the input eg; SAMPLE.DAT then the output will be .DAT
