FILE_OPEN_DIALOG - UNC path

[Former Member]

Dear gurus,

When i use method "cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_open_dialog" and navigate through mapped units, it returns me the path in mapped unit format. E.g: "Z:\file.txt".

I need to have it as "
SERVER\file.txt".

Anyone knows how to get it in UNC way?

Thanks a lot.

I am also interested to know whether there is a solution to the attached issue.

It appears that all functions and methods use the mapped directory path rather than UNC path.

Is there a way of determining a Windows Drive name from SAP.

Please advise.

I'm also looking for a way to get the UNC path from/for the mapped directory path.
