Hi to all..while reading some of the posted message, I have found the below code which is really working.

Now, my question is, how can I or can I redirect or change the source directory 'c:\mypic.gif'(which is my local dir) into sap server directory?

The sap server directory bitmap files, the one I uploaded from SE78 and I want to print it by the below code.

Pls help. Thanks.

DATA: lv_parameter TYPE string.

CONCATENATE '"' 'c:\mypic.gif' '"' INTO lv_parameter.

CONCATENATE '/p' lv_parameter INTO lv_parameter SEPARATED BY space.

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute

EXPORTING

application = 'c:\windows\system32\mspaint.exe'

parameter = lv_parameter

synchronous = 'X'

EXCEPTIONS

cntl_error = 1

error_no_gui = 2

bad_parameter = 3

file_not_found = 4

path_not_found = 5

file_extension_unknown = 6

error_execute_failed = 7

Hi,

In order to use a file located on the application server with the gui execute method, I'm afraid you will have to either map your server drive to a local drive first or copy the file locally before using it....
