Need creation- and changing-date of a PC-File

[Former Member]

Hi all,

is it possible to get the creation- and changing-date of a file

which is stored on PC or presentation-server?

I will upload the file and avoid, that the entries are inserted in

SAP more than one time.

Perhaps anyone knows a better way?

Thanks

Hi,

may be by using cl_gui_frontend_services? For example

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>directory_list_files

EXPORTING

directory = l_temp_dir

CHANGING

file_table = tab_file

count = count.

LOOP AT tab_file INTO wa_file_table.

WRITE:/ wa_file_table-filename.

ENDLOOP.

In table tab_file there is access time/date and write time/date.

Hi Christian,

i solve it in this way:

DATA: COUNT TYPE I.

*

DATA: WA_FILE_TABLE TYPE FILE_INFO,

TAB_FILE TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF FILE_INFO.

*

CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>DIRECTORY_LIST_FILES

EXPORTING

DIRECTORY = 'D:\sap\daten'

FILTER = 'lv.xls' "The file i need Information

CHANGING

FILE_TABLE = TAB_FILE

COUNT = COUNT.

*

IF COUNT = 1.

*

LOOP AT TAB_FILE INTO WA_FILE_TABLE.

WRITE:/ WA_FILE_TABLE-FILENAME(20),

WA_FILE_TABLE-WRITEDATE,

WA_FILE_TABLE-WRITETIME.

ENDLOOP.

*

ENDIF.

Thanks for your help

1)if file is on PC u can just right click and check the properties to know whn it was created or updated..

2) u can use methods of class cl_gui_frontend_services.

3) if u r having some primary key in tha file then u can simply update the data from fiel data.

4)otherwise u can make use of field last chnage if it exists in ur table to be updated..
