Get logical path

[Former Member]

Hi,

i need to create a new file on Application server, so i would like to get the physical name path of the logical path.

For example i would like to create a file named 'Z_20100405.txt'' into the logical folder DIR_TRANS (physical name : 'r:\usr\sap\D38\DVEBMGFDS') so at the end the file string will be like that : 'r:\usr\sap\D38\DVEBMGFDS\Z_20100405.txt'. After i can execute the command 'OPEN DATASET...'

Thanks

Cheers

Hi,

Use function module "FILE_GET_NAME".

Sorry but how can i use it ?

Hi,

Call the FM by passing the Logical Path name & and operating system (sy-opsys). Output parameter FILE_NAME will have the physical path. Concatenate the physical path & file name and use the same in OPEN DATASET.

Ok,

it's not my need, i don't have logical filename ; i would like to create one or more files into a folder logical, so i need to get the physical name of it. The FM FILE_GET_NAME is good when you use a logical filename.

For my need i found the following code :

DATA: BEGIN OF searchpoints OCCURS 10,
dirname(75) TYPE c, " name of directory.
sp_name(75) TYPE c, " name of entry. (may end with *)
sp_cs(10) TYPE c, " ContainsString pattern for name.
END OF searchpoints.
CALL 'C_SAPGPARAM' ID 'NAME' FIELD 'DIR_RSYN'
ID 'VALUE' FIELD searchpoints-dirname.
WRITE :/ searchpoints-dirname.

DIR_RSYN is the logical path name available on my system.

Cheers

Check table PATH, it should solve the purpose.

try sth like this:

 

    call function 'FILE_GET_NAME_AND_LOGICAL_PATH'
      exporting
        logical_filename = lds_name
        parameter_1      = xnor
      importing
        file_name        = sfile
        logical_path     = path
      exceptions
        file_not_found   = 01.
    if sy-subrc ne 0.
      message e300(bd) with lds_name.                         " TODO MG
    endif.
                                                                                select single pathextern from path into expth
           where pathintern = path.
    ...
