How to insert a name into a dynamic file name

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

how do we need to insert a name into the dynamic file name.

For example we are getting the dynamic file name as

/zdata/G15/us/useiswtol1/glb/hroiswtl01/US16.USEISWTOL1.HROISWTL01.DAT'

so in between HROISWTL01 and .DAT we need to insert a name called FLAG.

Where are you getting the dynamic filename from ?

Hi Suhas,

we are getting the name from a functional module which is specific to our system and we cant change it.how to insert the name after retrieving the file name

[Former Member]

Which FM you are using to get dynamic file name ? is it FILE_GET_NAME or something else ? If you are using FM to get dynamic file name then check the parameter whether the FM returning only file name or not

[Former Member]

Yes, u can say we are using the Fm GET_FILE_NAME ...but after we get the FILE NAME we need to insert FLAG in the middle.

Hi,

just usef fm /SAPDMC/LSM_PATH_FILE_SPLIT, it will split the file name and path name.

path = /zdata/G15/us/useiswtol1/glb/hroiswtl01/US16.USEISWTOL1.

filename = HROISWTL01.DAT

concatenate path 'FLAG' filename into path.

Hi Keshav,

if the file and path name is this

/ZDATA/G15/US/USEISWTOL1/GLB/HROISWTL01/US16.USEISWTOL1.HROISWTL01.000000000341.DAT

We need to replace the sequence number which we are getting at the end with a name called 'FLAG'

We cannot use " REPLACE" command as the sequence number changes dynamically

Actually what do you want to replace.

is it the name of the file or anything else ?

[Former Member]

Keshav,

As i said we are getting a sequence number in the end...... for example '000000000341'.

This sequence number should be replaced with a name called 'FLAG'.

Hope u got my point.'

Some more questions:

Is it always the same length , same position ?

After splitting the path and file how will the result look ( considering the path from your question ).

[Former Member]

Yes Keshav,

The same lenght and same postion.

/ZDATA/G15/US/USEISWTOL1/GLB/HROISWTL01/US16.USEISWTOL1.HROISWTL01.000000000341.DAT

instead of above we need to get

/ZDATA/G15/US/USEISWTOL1/GLB/HROISWTL01/US16.USEISWTOL1.HROISWTL01.FLAG.DAT

[kesavadas_thekkillath]

so after splitting your file name will be 000000000341.DAT .

split filename at '.' into part1 part2.
concatenate path 'FLAG' '.' part2 into path.

or

if filename ca '.'.
sy-fdpos = sy-fdpos - 1.
filename+0(syfd-pos) = 'FLAG'.
clear path.
concatenate path filename into path.

Hi Vishal,

Do this...

Split whole of your string into itab separated by '.'.

split <path> at '.' into table it_text.

Now, the second last record of your int tab would be the number you want to replace by "FLAG".

Just replace it with FLAG.

Now loop at it_text and merge the path into string again.
