How can I execute program after using F4_Filename function?

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I'm a new user on the forum. I've been working with ABAP and SAP for a few weeks. I wrote a program for importing data from excel file to SAP using BDC. During searching this forum I found information about F4_Filename function which allows users to browse the disc for a file. I'd like to add this function to my program. I have a parameter for a file name but this is an ordinary static string field. When I added the code which I found in the message on this forum the rest of program doesn't execute.

This is simple program for example:

REPORT Z_TEST8_AB.

DATA f_name TYPE STRING.

PARAMETERS p_file like rlgrap-filename DEFAULT 'c:\test.xls'.

f_name = p_file.

write:/ f_name.

This program works correctly. There is a field for parameter. I can change the default name for a file.

After all, I can run the program (F8) and rest of the code is executed. The field for parameter dissapears from the screen and the file name is displayed. ( command write)

-

---

Now I added a function F4_Filename

REPORT Z_TEST8_AB.

DATA f_name TYPE STRING.

PARAMETERS p_file like rlgrap-filename DEFAULT 'c:\test.xls'.

at selection-screen on value-request for p_file.

call function 'F4_FILENAME'

exporting

program_name = syst-repid

dynpro_number = syst-dynnr

field_name = 'p_file'

importing

file_name = p_file.

f_name = p_file.

write:/ f_name.

I can browse a computer for a file now but after selecting the file I can't run the rest of the code. When I click on the icon or press key F8 the field for parameter doesn't dissapier and the command write is not executed.

What do I do wrong?

Could anyone suggest me a solution? How can I executed the code after using this function?

Thanks in advance.

Arek.

Hi,

Since u have not written start-of-selection the whole code is considered under

at selection-screen on value-request for p_file.

write start-of-selection before write statement
