Request for a function for path of directory ??

[Former Member]

hi,

i need a function module to get me the physical path of the directory on F4

for eg.

function module 'KD_GET_FILENAME_ON_F4'

allows us to select the file (on pressing F4) and gives the physical path of the selected file.

Similarly i want the function which selects the DIRECTORY and gives the physical path of the DIRECTORY..

The follwing are the methods of CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES that deal with directories

DIRECTORY_BROWSE

DIRECTORY_CREATE

DIRECTORY_DELETE

DIRECTORY_EXIST

DIRECTORY_GET_CURRENT

DIRECTORY_LIST_FILES

DIRECTORY_SET_CURRENT

GET_WINDOWS_DIRECTORY

GET_TEMP_DIRECTORY

If you want to get the directory, DIRECTORY_GET_CURRENT and GET_WINDOWS_DIRECTORY should help you.

Anuj,

These are not functions, these are methods of the class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES.

Go to SE24, put in CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES and you can see all the methods that I have mentioned here.

Here is a sample call

  CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>GET_WINDOWS_DIRECTORY
    CHANGING
      WINDOWS_DIRECTORY    =
*    EXCEPTIONS
*      CNTL_ERROR           = 1
*      ERROR_NO_GUI         = 2
*      NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_GUI = 3
*      others               = 4
          .
  IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
*   MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
*              WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
  ENDIF.

Ravi,

My sample code is..

*******************************************************************************************

REPORT ZEST_DOWNLOAD.

PARAMETERS: p_fname type STRING.

AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR p_fname.

CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>GET_WINDOWS_DIRECTORY

CHANGING

WINDOWS_DIRECTORY = p_fname

• EXCEPTIONS

• CNTL_ERROR = 1

• ERROR_NO_GUI = 2

• NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_GUI = 3

• others = 4

.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

• MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

• WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

write: p_fname.

***************************************************************************************************

Hi Anuj Pachauri,

I had the same problem. Just add

CALL METHOD CL_GUI_CFW=>FLUSH.

or the FM CONTROL_FLUSH

CALL FUNCTION 'CONTROL_FLUSH'.

after the first method is called.

It transfers the buffered automation-queue to the frond-end.

In your case:

*******************************************************************************************

REPORT ZEST_DOWNLOAD.

PARAMETERS: p_fname type STRING.

AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR p_fname.

CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>GET_WINDOWS_DIRECTORY

CHANGING

WINDOWS_DIRECTORY = p_fname

• EXCEPTIONS

• CNTL_ERROR = 1

• ERROR_NO_GUI = 2

• NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_GUI = 3

• others = 4

.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

• MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

• WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

<b>

CALL METHOD CL_GUI_CFW=>FLUSH.</b>

write: p_fname.

***************************************************************************************************

This should solve the problem.

Reward with points if helped, please.
