Load file from Cliente PC or SAP Server

[Former Member]

Hi everyone! I'm trying to load a file from a local path of pc or from a path server, it depends on the values of a radiobutton. The code is next:

PARAMETERS: p_file TYPE localfile,
            p_rad1 RADIOBUTTON GROUP rad,
            p_rad2 RADIOBUTTON GROUP rad.


AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR p_file.


  CASE 'X'.
    WHEN p_rad1.
      CALL FUNCTION 'F4_FILENAME'
        EXPORTING
          program_name  = syst-cprog
          dynpro_number = syst-dynnr
          field_name    = ' '
        IMPORTING
          file_name     = p_file.
    WHEN p_rad2.
      CALL FUNCTION 'F4_FILENAME_SERVER'
        EXPORTING
          pfad              = '/usr/sap/trans/'
        IMPORTING
          file_name         = p_file
        EXCEPTIONS
          no_file_on_server = 1
          OTHERS            = 2.
  ENDCASE.

The problem is when i try to search the file with the help request option it doesn't show anything, and i don't know what is the error in the code, i'd be thankfull if you could heling me. Thanks!!

And what if you use:

          program_name  = sy-repid
          dynpro_number = sy-dynnr
          field_name    = 'P_FILE'

? (ps: SY and SYST are equivalent)

Please debug too, to make sure what are the values of the variables. Do you see if P_RAD1 and P_RAD2 are filled correctly based on the checkbox you tick?

You didn't define a default radiobutton, so both are initial, and one will only be set to 'X' after PAI (AT SELECTION-SCREEN) but if you press F4 immediately, you won't call any of the F4 FM. You should also set a dummy function code on the radiobutton group to insure PAI is executed before F4 when user change location of file.

NB: F4_FILENAME is an unreleased FM that call obsolete FM WS_FILENAME_GET, so better use method CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=> FILE_OPEN_DIALOG or FILE_SAVE_DIALOG.
