Use the function module F4_FILENAME to select a file on the presentation server.

for presentation server use -

KD_GET_FILENAME_ON_F4

Hi,

useful hints have been given.

There is no way of selecting server or client file with the same functionality because the way of file access will be different: Presentation server (client) is handled via SAPGUI up- and download; Application server accesses files as datasets with open and transfer directly.
