open dialog box in application server.

[Former Member]

hai frnds,

i am using the following FM for open dialog box in application.

CALL FUNCTION 'F4_DXFILENAME_TOPRECURSION'

EXPORTING

i_location_flag = 'A'

i_server = '?'

i_path = f_app

filemask = c_fnh_mask

FILEOPERATION = 'R'

IMPORTING

• O_LOCATION_FLAG = 'P'

• O_SERVER = '?'

o_path = f_app

• ABEND_FLAG =

EXCEPTIONS

rfc_error = 1

OTHERS = 2.

the path is been copied to the input box but when i am trying to open the file selected it is not retrieving the data and also the given path is changed to upper case. i had tried to change it in start of selection. but the same is hapenning. also my client requested some of the following...

1) the dialog should open at '//sapglobal_users'

2) the files should be sorted in desc group by date and time of creation.

3) the full path name should be visible in the dialog box which is not hapenning (i.e., if the path is > the visible length the invisible part is truncated. This shd not happen.)

DO THIS..

parameters: file(128) obligatory lower case.

DATA: c_fnh_mask TYPE dxfields-filemask VALUE '*',

searched_dir TYPE dxfields-longpath,

AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR FILE.

if loc1 = space.

message e307 with 'Enter Directory To Pick Up File'.

endif.

searched_dir = XXX. " WRITE THE DIRECTORY NAME--LIKE 'E:\usr\sap\put'.

TRANSLATE searched_dir TO LOWER CASE .

CALL FUNCTION 'F4_DXFILENAME_TOPRECURSION'

EXPORTING

i_location_flag = 'A'

i_server = ' '

i_path = searched_dir

filemask = c_fnh_mask

• FILEOPERATION = 'R'

IMPORTING

• O_LOCATION_FLAG =

• O_SERVER =

o_path = file_path

• ABEND_FLAG =

EXCEPTIONS

rfc_error = 1

default_filename = '*.xls'

INITIAL_DIRECTORY = 'C:\'

multiselection = ' ' "No multiple selection

changing

data: file_path LIKE dxfields-longpath.

and after the call of the FM copy the value of file_pathto parameter file as

file = file_path.

can we sort externally the files basing on the date and time so that the latest file should appear first. i mean to say the FM is taking care of the same. is it possible..

and also the client requested that when selecting the folders, for every directory selection one window is opened. instead of that the output should be visible in the same window instead of multiple...

Check if you have FM "/SAPDMC/LSM_F4_SERVER_FILE" in your system. This will exactly meet your requirement.
