How to check file that is exist in AL11

[sawanee_aimsaard]

Hi Experts.

I want to check file that exists in AL11 (SAP Server) or not. I tried to use "PFL_CHECK_OS_FILE_EXISTENCE", that is similar to work, but when I input the parameter with the folder name(no file name), the function returns that exists as well but my expectation, It should return to be no exist (because It is not a file). Could you please help to suggest me?

CALL FUNCTION 'PFL_CHECK_OS_FILE_EXISTENCE'
  EXPORTING
    long_filename            = '/Document/folder'
    fully_qualified_filename =
  importing
    file_exists              = lv_file_exists  
  exceptions
    authorization_missing    = 1
    others                   = 2.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
* Implement suitable error handling here
ENDIF.

Why don't you use OPEN/CLOSE DATASET to check the existence of a file on the server?

These function modules are not released by SAP so don't use them, just use official OPEN/CLOSE DATASET:

• PFL_CHECK_OS_FILE_EXISTENCE
• PFL_CHECK_DIRECTORY
• EPS2_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING
