I just capture the file path using fm f4_filename into one filed , then i displayed file path in a report. my requirement is when ever i click on that particular file path ,need to open that file and show . is there any option to open file path .

If you want to directly open a particular file from the presentation server, you could pass the file path to the method

cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute

[Former Member]

NO . u can process the file u can not open the file.

my requirement is open that particular file and show . is there any solution for this.

[Former Member]

yes u can raju,

in at user command event, write the following code..

path = <from f4_filename fm>.

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute
EXPORTING
document = PATH      " take it as type string
minimized = 'X'       " dont pass anything if u dont want to minimize it..

.

Hi ,

You can use the class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_open_DIALOG to open that file but here again you need to split the file path into different variable as per your req.

hi raju, perhaps you should have cleared this at the start.

you cant directly execute a file of AS on PS.

what you can do is--

read file on AS using

OPEN DATASET FNAME FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT   "" path on application server. write "output mode" for writing data into file

then use GUI_DOWNLOAD to save it on your PS.

finally you use the solution in previous posts to execute the same file.

this would not work for all kinds of file types i am afraid.
