Hi Anid,

Ok here is a small change to your code that works,

DATA: DIR_SEL TYPE STRING.

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>directory_browse

EXPORTING

WINDOW_TITLE = 'Select Folder'

INITIAL_FOLDER = 'C:\'

CHANGING

selected_folder = DIR_SEL

EXCEPTIONS

CNTL_ERROR = 1

ERROR_NO_GUI = 2

others = 3.

<b>CALL METHOD cl_gui_cfw=>flush.</b>

write:/ DIR_SEL,'*******'.

Hope this helps..

Thanks, it worked..can you explain a bit regarding

CALL METHOD cl_gui_cfw=>flush.

what it does?

Hi Anid,

Basically flush call will synchronize the automation queue (the buffered method calls to get control attributes) and gets the control (in our case, Frontend services directory select dialog) attributes from the front end.

Check the following links that explain this in detail,

Hi Amit,

In my system, its only writing ****, not the dir_sel value. the dir_sel is having null value even if the user select one directory.

Any setting related problem??
