TMP_GUI_DIRECTORY_LIST_FILES

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I am using FM TMP_GUI_DIRECTORY_LIST_FILES to list files in a folder. This FM is working fine in my PC but when we try it in the user's PC it not working nor throwing any exceptions. Please throw light in this issue.

Hi Andrea,

I think so its not authorization issue in SAP because in both the systems I used my login. If it is client issue(Microsoft) then what I need to check. The user is using Win 7.

Hi Anil

right! so, to make it easy, ask to your support team (in case you can't by yourself) to give admin rights on that computer for microsoft user you are using

Meanwhile it would be useful if you can login to erp op system and try to map the c drive of the client (there could be some network port locked ...)

Let me know if u need me

Hi Anil,

The alternative for above FM is:

CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES->DIRECTORY_LIST_FILES.

Example for using it.

DATA: wa_pfile TYPE file_table.

DATA: it_pfiles TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF file_table,

      count   TYPE i,

      dir     TYPE string VALUE 'C:\temp\'.

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>directory_list_files

   EXPORTING

     directory                   = dir

     files_only                  = 'X'

   CHANGING

     file_table                  = it_pfiles

     count                       = count

   EXCEPTIONS

     cntl_error                  = 1

     directory_list_files_failed = 2

     wrong_parameter             = 3

     error_no_gui                = 4

     not_supported_by_gui        = 5

     OTHERS                      = 6.

LOOP AT it_pfiles INTO wa_pfile.

   WRITE wa_pfile.

ENDLOOP.

Regards,

Anil.

Hi Anil

Check the Directory Path you are passing?

Is that path exists in the use desktop?  Is it accessible ?

If you are using any shared directlry  then is it accessible ?

Hi Anil,

Step 1.

Try use function -     CALL    FUNCTION 'EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING'

Else Step 2

As I already posted, the issue is with the PATH.

As long as you are testing by giving the C:\temp\  from your system.

In order to make it avaialbe,  it is always recommended that you should use the Shared File system..

I have similar requiremetn to read the XML files from the Shared folder whenever user executes a tcode.

So what I did is as follows :

Define the parameter - default it to a value with Shared directory.

PARAMETERS:  p_filnam TYPE localfile    DEFAULT '\\XXXXXXX\FILESERVER\SAP\Default.xml'.

In your case instead of C:\Temp\  -  use teh shared file fodler...
