Folder on application server

[Former Member]

Hello friends,

I'd like to know if a FM could allow me to check if a folder exists on an application server.

If there's no FM available can you tell me how to check?

Thanks in advance abapers!

Hi Chris,

You can use the method: DIRECTORY_EXIST of the CLASS: CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES.

Hi,

Use the function module '/SAPDMC/LSM_F4_SERVER_FILE' for F4 help for Application server files. you need to write this in the AT SELECTION_SCREEN on FIELD REQUEST.

CALL FUNCTION '/SAPDMC/LSM_F4_SERVER_FILE'

EXPORTING

directory = ' '

filemask = ' '

IMPORTING

serverfile = p_afile

EXCEPTIONS

canceled_by_user = 1

OTHERS = 2.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

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

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

ENDIF.

Hi..

You just try to execute this function module it will give you list of directories present in Application server

F4_DXFILENAME_TOPRECURSION

And see this following Example to use this FM

DATA: c_fnh_mask TYPE dxfields-filemask VALUE '.',

search_dir TYPE dxfields-longpath VALUE '/sapglobal/users',

file_path LIKE dxfields-longpath.

report y_test.

CALL FUNCTION 'F4_DXFILENAME_TOPRECURSION'

EXPORTING

i_location_flag = 'A'

i_server = ' '

i_path = search_dir

filemask = c_fnh_mask

fileoperation = 'R'

IMPORTING

o_path = file_path

EXCEPTIONS

rfc_error = 1

OTHERS = 2.

IF sy-subrc EQ 0.

f_app = file_path.

ENDIF.

and

You can use t/code CG3Y to download a file from application server to presentation server and t/code CG3Z to upload a file to a application server from presentation server.

You can also use this FM GUI_DOWNLOAD or method CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>GUI_DOWNLOAD.

In the class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES you can find others methods, for example:

FILE_GET_VERSION

FILE_OPEN_DIALOG

FILE_SAVE_DIALOG

GET_COMPUTER_NAME

GET_DESKTOP_DIRECTORY

Hope this will help.

If it helps reward with Points

this FM RZL_READ_DIR_LOCAL should work
