Get file length and file content in server side file

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

I used GUI_UPLOAD function module to upload file in local machine to SAP server. In GUI_UPLOAD function module I can get export parameter FILELENGTH and tables DATA_TAB. So if a file locate in server side, how can I get its length and content?

Thanks for any help!!!

In one program I used FM RZL_READ_DIR_LOCAL to get a list of files in a directory on application server. This FM is somewhat shady, but I couldn't find anything better (actually nothing else at all). It returns the file names and size for a directory name.
