Hi Frinee,

You may try to use this FM:

<b>RZL_READ_DIR</b>

If the server name is left blank, it reads a directory from local presentation server, otherwise it reads the directory of the remote server

<b>RZL_READ_DIR_LOCAL</b>

Read a directory on the Application Server

Hope this will help.

so you've to create and fill a customer table with your file names.

or try to work with logical filenames (transaction: FILE)

For example, here I am accessing our test system's application layer thru the network.

report zrich_0001.


parameters: p_file type localfile.


at selection-screen on value-request for p_file.


  data: ifile type filetable.
  data: xfile like line of ifile.
  data: rc type i.

  call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_open_dialog
    exporting
       initial_directory
        = '\<ip_address>qfilesvr400<as400_name>usrsapTST'
    changing
      file_table              = ifile
      rc                      = rc.

  read table ifile into xfile index 1.
  check sy-subrc = 0.
  p_file = xfile-filename.

Hello!!! thanks for your quick answers!!

Rich, I tried your solution, I copied and pasted the code and the match code pointed to my local files in my C drive. I don't understand why because the method has an initial directory directly to SAP server, I tried it using \tmp, it didn't work...

Thanks,

Frinee

You must use the full path to your application server, notice my second example program, I have to point to the IP address, AS400 system name, etc. Using \tmp will not get you there.

Thanks for your answers!!!

I couldn't use Rich's solution because I don't have the server information (IP).

However I user this function modules I luckely found:

RFC_SYSTEM_INFO

F4_DXFILENAME_TOPRECURSION

They worked fine!!

Nice find. But it does not allow to go to other specific directories? Here is an example program using this function(for all others benefit).

report zrich_0001.


parameters: p_file type  dxfields-longpath.

at selection-screen on value-request for p_file.

  call function 'F4_DXFILENAME_TOPRECURSION'
       importing
            o_path   = p_file.

You can use the class/method as below. You just have to point it to the correct path. Here I am access my sneak preview file system, you can do the same across the network.

report zrich_0001.


parameters: p_file type localfile.


at selection-screen on value-request for p_file.


  data: ifile type filetable.
  data: xfile like line of ifile.
  data: rc type i.

  call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_open_dialog
    exporting
       initial_directory       = 'usrsapnsp'
    changing
      file_table              = ifile
      rc                      = rc.

  read table ifile into xfile index 1.
  check sy-subrc = 0.
  p_file = xfile-filename.
