Problem with ...FILE_GET_NAME ??

[Former Member]

hi,

I am using function FILE_GET_NAME to return me the physical path for the supplied Logical Path.

CALL FUNCTION 'FILE_GET_NAME'

EXPORTING

LOGICAL_FILENAME = 'MONTHLY_SALES_FILE'

IMPORTING

FILE_NAME = FILE

Now the function returns a path /tmp/XXXXXXX in FILE,

But when i go and check in AL11 there is no such directory XXXXXXX in /tmp .

DO i need to do something else ??

HI Anuj,

Check for your file in the temporary directory ... i.e, where your file resides if you have not specified the path fully ..

I am checking that directory only..

Hi Anuj, Just check the physical file path that was defined in FILE Transaction for the logical file name " Monthly_sales_File'.I guess the path which u are getting after the FM should be changed there..

Check the documentation of that function module , you can get something from there if ur missing something

[Former Member]

please use t-code FILE to determine the logic path for that Logical file name 'MONTHLY_SALES_FILE'.

.

May be it will help you to draw some conclusion .

Hi,

once you or another has defined tho logical path with transaction FILE and has

set the physical path to /tmp/XXXXXXX. But you or the other person forgot to

make the directory XXXXXXX in tmp.

This will not done by FILE in default.

@bernd

in FILE,

the physical path mentioned is /tmp/<FILENAME>

but FILE_GET_NAME is returning

the physical path as /tmp/XXXXXXXXX

Please use the FM

CALL FUNCTION 'FILE_GET_NAME_USING_PATH'

EXPORTING

logical_path = 'MONTHLY_SALES_FILE'

file_name = l_file

IMPORTING

file_name_with_path = l_file.

Initialise your filename in the variable l_file.
