FILENAME_GET

[Former Member]

Hi all,

there is a function called FILENAME_GET and it gives a pop-up where the user can give a filename.

I do not want the user to write the complete path to the file,

so I would like to know if there is a function which let's the user select a file on his/her System

through browsing (like windows open file dialog) and returns the full path to the file?

greetings Fred.

Hi Fred,

Check out for FM: <b>F4_FILENAME</b>

Regds,

Akshay Bhagwat

Note: Pls mark helpful answers.

Whether it is a class-method / function, the user will have the option writing the file name.

But you can always validate the existence of the file and throw a error or call the same code again to select the file.

Try this one F4_DXFILENAME_TOPRECURSION.

Work with app server too.

Regards.
