This is Rich example ..... try this......

report zrich_0001 .
 
data: begin of itab occurs 0,
      rec(1000) type c,
      end of itab.
data: wa(1000) type c.
 
data: p_file type localfile.
data: ifile type table of  salfldir with header line.
 
parameters: p_path type salfile-longname
                    default '/usr/sap/TST/DVEBMGS01/data/'.
 
 
call function 'RZL_READ_DIR_LOCAL'
     exporting
          name           = p_path
     tables
          file_tbl       = ifile
     exceptions
          argument_error = 1
          not_found      = 2
          others         = 3.
 
loop at ifile.
  format hotspot on.
  write:/ ifile-name.
  hide ifile-name.
  format hotspot off.
endloop.
 
 
at line-selection.
 
  concatenate p_path ifile-name into p_file.
 
  clear itab.  refresh itab.
  open dataset p_file for input in text mode.
  if sy-subrc = 0.
    do.
      read dataset p_file into wa.
      if sy-subrc <> 0.
        exit.
      endif.
      itab-rec = wa.
      append itab.
    enddo.
  endif.
  close dataset p_file.
 
  loop at itab.
    write:/ itab.
  endloop.

thanks, it doesn't have the date stamp.

how can i get one with fname, size & date

[Former Member]

why don't try in SXDB Transaction ?

GOTO SXDB -> object 0010 -> enter -> click on copy ->here copy from and copy to

If the file is given as input in the selection screen u can use Dataset. (Open dataset). If there is no selection screen then the filename will be the same with te date and time stamp.

EX : Prgram name : ztest

file name : ztest_11062007_050311 (Program name _ date _time)

This will be the format so u can use dataset and u can build the filename in your program and use it.

Reward if helpful.

Hi,

Please try this.

    DATA: FILETAB TYPE TABLE OF FILE_INFO,
          FILEREC TYPE FILE_INFO,
          COUNT TYPE i,
          FZISE TYPE i.

    CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>DIRECTORY_LIST_FILES
      EXPORTING
        DIRECTORY                   = '<Yourfilename>'
        FILTER                      = ''
        FILES_ONLY                  = 'X'
      CHANGING
        FILE_TABLE                  = FILETAB
        COUNT                       = COUNT
      EXCEPTIONS
        CNTL_ERROR                  = 1
        DIRECTORY_LIST_FILES_FAILED = 2
        WRONG_PARAMETER             = 3
        ERROR_NO_GUI                = 4
        others                      = 5.
 
    IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
      RAISE CNTL_ERROR.
    ENDIF.
 
    IF COUNT = 0.
*     Does not exist
      RESULT = ABAP_FALSE.
      FSIZE  = 0.
    ELSE.
*     Does exist
      RESULT = ABAP_TRUE.
      READ FILETAB INDEX 1 INTO FILEREC.
      FSIZE = FILEREC-FILELENGTH.
    ENDIF.
