Save file dialog

[achraf_smaali]

Hi ABAP gurus,

When we use the FM : 'F4_FILENAME' with the parameter PARAMETERS p_path   TYPE LOCALFILE. we get the OPEN FILE DIALOG with a button called OPEN which opens the file that we choose to open.

Can anybody tell me how to get the SAVE FILE DIALOG plz? with a button called SAVE which saves the file into the directory that we choose in the dialog.

ABAPly,

Achraf

hi,

you can use the static method 'FILE_SAVE_DIALOG' of class 'CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES'.

    CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_save_dialog
*    EXPORTING
*      window_title         =
*      default_extension    =
*      default_file_name    =
*      with_encoding        =
*      file_filter          =
*      initial_directory    =
*      prompt_on_overwrite  = 'X'
    CHANGING
      filename             =
      path                 =
      fullpath             =
*      user_action          =
*      file_encoding        =
*    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.

Hope this helps. Thank you.

Use

  CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_save_dialog
  EXPORTING
* window_title = ' '
  default_extension = 'extension'
  default_file_name = 'file name'
  initial_directory = 'Directory'
  CHANGING
  filename = ld_filename
  path = ld_path
  fullpath = ld_fullpath
  user_action = ld_result.

Hi again,

I find the solution I could delete the post but I think that someone else has the same problem, so let's share the solution :

*Selecting a file to save too, plus inserting default file extension .csv
tables rlgrap.

DATA: ld_filename TYPE string,
       ld_path TYPE string,
       ld_fullpath TYPE string,
       ld_result TYPE i,
       gd_file TYPE c.

selection-screen begin of block m with frame.
     PARAMETERS: p_file TYPE  rlgrap-filename.
selection-screen end of block m.

* At selection screen
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR p_file.

* Display save dialog window
       CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_save_dialog
         EXPORTING
*      window_title                = ' '
           default_extension      = 'CSV'
           default_file_name      = 'accountsdata'
           initial_directory         = 'c:\temp\'
         CHANGING
           filename                  = ld_filename
           path                        = ld_path
           fullpath                    = ld_fullpath
           user_action             = ld_result.

       p_file  = ld_fullpath.

Hi Achraf

As Kartik mentioned use the

cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_save_dialog method in your "On Value request" for p_path.

This will give you the correct button wording.
