Hi there you can use

CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_OPEN_DIALOG

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_open_dialog
  EXPORTING
    window_title      = 'Select File'
    default_filename  = ',*.*  ,*.*.'
    initial_directory = 'C:\'
    multiselection    = ' '  "No multiple selection
  CHANGING
    file_table        = it_tabemp
    rc                = gd_subrcemp.

Hi Jay,

Actually I don't need to give the filename in open folder dialog box. I only want the end user to select own directory path where he/she wants to save the file. I need to download the 'PDF' documents attached to a Specification in SAP EHS. I ll get the document downloaded from BAPI 'BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHECKOUTVIEW2' in system defined path, i.e. in SAP Work-directory. Now, File name is generated dynamically and attached with the 'User Specified Folder Path' internally in report.

Please suggest more.

Thanks for ur reply.

Ohh ok..

We have this option of using FM :

SO_SPLIT_FILE_AND_PATH

Splits the filename and its path i.e. c:\temp\hello.txt would return 'hello.txt' & 'c:\temp\'
