Open dataset filesize

[Former Member]

Hi all!

I'm need to create a FM to load graphics from presentation server into SAP Graphics (to use in sapscript/smartforms).

I've discovered the function called by transaction SE78, but those FM calls a screen (and it cannot appen!). MORE, those FM are created using GUI_UPLOAD.

My problem is that I'm trying to replicate that FM, but using OPEN DATASET. So far so good, but I need filesize!!!

In OPEN DATASET, how do I get/calculate file size???

Please Help, its urgent!

Thanks

Carlos

Hi use FM EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING and make sure u have authorization to the file. It will work.

DATA: it_dir TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF epsfili,

wa_dir TYPE epsfili.

PARAMETERS: p_file TYPE epsfilnam.

CALL FUNCTION 'EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING'

EXPORTING

dir_name = '/usr/sap/interface/'

file_mask = p_file

TABLES

dir_list = it_dir

EXCEPTIONS

invalid_eps_subdir = 1

sapgparam_failed = 2

build_directory_failed = 3

no_authorization = 4

read_directory_failed = 5

too_many_read_errors = 6

empty_directory_list = 7

OTHERS = 8.

READ TABLE it_dir INTO wa_dir WITH KEY name = p_file.

IF sy-subrc EQ 0.

WRITE:/ wa_dir-size.

ENDIF.

Thanks!

It kind of work... only problem with capital or small caps... It can be worked.

Now, another situation: after I get bitmap and size, I need to convert bitmap into the BDS format with FM 'SAPSCRIPT_CONVERT_BITMAP_BDS'. However, this FM is always exiting with exception:

"Bitmap file: Preliminary end of file, file contains errors

Message no. TD878 "

Any Ideas?!

Thanks
