get_*_directory problem

Hi Mauro

the class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES is based on the control framework, so certain methods need to be called together the method CL_GUI_CFW=>FLUSH.

After calling your method you have to call the FLUSH:

DATA: dir_temp TYPE string.

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services->get_temp_directory

CHANGING

dir_temp = dir temp.

CALL METHOD CL_GUI_CFW=>FLUSH

EXCEPTIONS

CNTL_SYSTEM_ERROR = 1

CNTL_ERROR = 2

OTHERS = 3.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

.........

ENDIF.

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services->get_sap_workdir

CHANGING

sapworkdir = dir temp.

CALL METHOD CL_GUI_CFW=>FLUSH

EXCEPTIONS

CNTL_SYSTEM_ERROR = 1

CNTL_ERROR = 2

OTHERS = 3.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

.........

ENDIF.

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services->get_sapgui_directory

CHANGING

sapgui_directory = dir temp.

CALL METHOD CL_GUI_CFW=>FLUSH

EXCEPTIONS

CNTL_SYSTEM_ERROR = 1

CNTL_ERROR = 2

OTHERS = 3.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

.........

ENDIF.

  if not tempdir is initial.
    write: / 'Temp directory is: ', tempdir.
    write: / 'GET_TEMP_DIRECTORY test ok.'.
  else.
    write: / 'GET_TEMP_DIRECTORY test failed.'.
  endif.
  write: / '---------------------------------------------------'.

ENDIF.
