Not able to pick files with file name length greater than 40 chars using EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING function module in SAP CRM 7.0

Dear Experts

We are trying to process files in SAP CRM 7.0 (EHP2 FOR SAP CRM 7.0) system. We are using function module EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING for reading the files from AL11 folders. The same function module in SAP ISU (EHP6 FOR SAP ERP 6.0) is able to pick files with file name length 120. Where as in CRM the maximum file name length is restricted to 40. Is this an issue with patch levels between SAP CRM and ISU. If possible please share any notes.

Thanks

The function module is part of SAP_BASIS, check the level in both systems. The function module uses kernel functions so it might make sense to also check the changes in the kernel. Nevertheless looking in a ERP 6.0 EHP 6 system with SAP_BASIS 731 and the structure still has a 40 character limit for the filename (data element EPSFILNAM). Could it be that someone has modified the function module in the ISU system?

Hi Samuli Kaski

Thanks for the response. I will check with my Basis team and get back on this.
