In my system I can reach it the same way I reach files on the PC. If you can get to your application server thru the network, then this will work for you as well. The file path must be valid.

report zrich_0003.

parameters: p_file1 type localfile .


at selection-screen on value-request for p_file1.

  data: start type string.
  data: ifiletable type filetable.
  data: xfiletable like line of ifiletable.
  data: return type i.


  start = '\<ip_address>qfilesvr400<system_name>usrsapTST'.

  call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_open_dialog
   exporting
*    WINDOW_TITLE            =
*    DEFAULT_EXTENSION       =
*    DEFAULT_FILENAME        =
*    FILE_FILTER             =
      initial_directory       = start
*    MULTISELECTION          =
    changing
      file_table              = ifiletable
      rc                      = return
*    USER_ACTION             =
*  EXCEPTIONS
*    FILE_OPEN_DIALOG_FAILED = 1
*    CNTL_ERROR              = 2
*    ERROR_NO_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.

  read table ifiletable into xfiletable index 1.

  p_file1 = xfiletable.

We are running on an AS400

Hi Lakshman,

Function /SAPDMC/LSM_F4_SERVER_FILE is opening application server. But, when we are closing directory without choosing any path is leading to dump.

Function not released by SAP, you should not use it
