Get current users SAP Working Directory

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a requirement where I will have to download a file temporarily and open it in the front end.. Now I need to download the file to the users SAP Working directory. how do i determine the directory path?

I think usually it has the path

C:\Documents and Settings\<current windows user name>\SapWorkDir

plz suggest. I have tried using the obsolate function module REGISTERY_GET, but didnt know how to use it.. and, well the FM was suggesting me to use the methods of class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES, but didnt know how to use it too..

Thanx in advance..

Hi,

use the method get_sapgui_workdir of class cl_gui_frontend_services.

 call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>get_sapgui_workdir
      changing
        sapworkdir            = l_temp_dir
       EXCEPTIONS
         GET_SAPWORKDIR_FAILED = 1
         CNTL_ERROR            = 2
         ERROR_NO_GUI          = 3
         NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_GUI  = 4
        others                = 5.
    if sy-subrc = 0.
      call method cl_gui_cfw=>flush
        exceptions
          others = 1.
      if sy-subrc = 0 and not l_temp_dir is initial.
        l_dir_path = l_temp_dir.
      endif.
    endif.

Hi there.. you guys are great..

Thanx Ganesh.. I just wanted the FM 'IW_C_GET_SAPWORKDIR'. The downloading process I have is a background one..

Thanx Bert.. So dumb of me not noticing the method in the class cl_gui_frontend_services. I am a novice in using the classes and the methods..

Thanx and regards
