Get logical file name

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I know the physical path of a file. Can anyone tell me how do I view this file? I do not know the logical file name, hence cannot use AL11 to view the file.

Hi,

There are some function modules, Can you please check:

FILE_GET_NAME_USING_PATH : Generate a complete file name with file name and logical path

FILE_GET_NAME : Assign the Physical File Name Using a Logical File Name

FILE_GET_NAME_AND_LOGICAL_PATH: Assign physical file names and get logical path

Below link also helpfull.

Hi Regal,

See following code.

Hope this will help you.

DATA LV_FIELDNAME TYPE CHAR50.

* Get the physical file path for logical file path imported
  CALL FUNCTION 'FILE_GET_NAME_USING_PATH'
    EXPORTING
      LOGICAL_PATH               = IM_FPATH
      FILE_NAME                  = IM_FILENAME
    IMPORTING
      FILE_NAME_WITH_PATH        = CH_PHY_PATH
    EXCEPTIONS
      PATH_NOT_FOUND             = 1
      MISSING_PARAMETER          = 2
      OPERATING_SYSTEM_NOT_FOUND = 3
      FILE_SYSTEM_NOT_FOUND      = 4
      OTHERS                     = 5.

In AL11 the physical file paths are displayed & not the logical file-path.

Hi Rishi,

First of whole what does the physical path of a file refer to? Is it server physical path or a physical path on your own computer (client side), or an AL11 path?

I always use for handling server physical path files the OPEN DATASET statement. For data on my computer (client side) I use GUI_UPLOAD combined with class for frontend services.

Hope it helps,

Thanks, for your replies.

Let me make the query simpler. I have this server physical address /usr/sap/trans/bin/. How do I view the file in this location?

Looks like you want to look at the transport files (co & data files) stored in the app server

If i remember correctly i have a folder DIR_TRANS in my app server.
