Regarding CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES

[former_member367551]

Dear forumers,

Is there a method available from the class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES that can be used to select and browse for a file in the presentation server?

In other words, is there a method from this class that is similar to the function F4_FILENAME too? Also, is the function F4_FILENAME considered as an obsolete ABAP construct?

I have checked the methods in the class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES, and I'm wondering if methods GET_DESKTOP_DIRECTORY or FILE_OPEN_DIALOG can be used for this purpose?

Please help. Thanks.

Hi Deborah,

You may use the FILE_OPEN_DIALOG method for your requirement.
