Parameter for file name with F$ ffunctionality

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I want to read a file name as an input. I tried the following syntax :

<b>parameters : p_file type RLGRAP-FILENAME.</b>

But I need F4 functionality too. Does any can provide me some inputs on this.

Thanks and regards,

Varun.
