Hi,

You can use the following codes:

1) Using Function Module:

PARAMETERS: p_ppath TYPE rlgrap-filename.

AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR p_ppath.

• Open the Browse Dialog Box on the Desktop

CALL FUNCTION 'KD_GET_FILENAME_ON_F4'

EXPORTING

program_name = sy-repid

dynpro_number = sy-dynnr

CHANGING

file_name = p_ppath

EXCEPTIONS

mask_too_long = 1

OTHERS = 2.

2) Using method:

DATA: git_tab TYPE filetable,

gv_subrc TYPE i.

Constants: gc_wondowtitle TYPE string VALUE 'Select',

gc_defaultfile TYPE string VALUE '*.csv',

gc_defaultdir TYPE string VALUE 'C:\'.

• Open the Browse Dialog Box on the Desktop

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_open_dialog

EXPORTING

window_title = gc_wondowtitle

default_filename = gc_defaultfile

initial_directory = gc_defaultdir

CHANGING

file_table = git_tab

rc = gv_subrc.

• Assign the selected file name to the file path field

READ TABLE git_tab INTO p_ppath INDEX 1.

Hi,

Try:

AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR TAB_FILE-LOW.

PERFORM F4_HELP CHANGING TAB_FILE-LOW.

FORM F4_HELP CHANGING TAB_FILE-LOW.

CALL FUNCTION 'KD_GET_FILENAME_ON_F4'

exporting

static = 'X'

changing

file_name = tab_file-low.

END FORM.

Hope it'll be useful.

Hi stock,

try the FM TMP_GUI_FILE_OPEN_DIALOG.. you can specify your default file and directory also

A sample..

PARAMETERS : DATASET(128).




AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR DATASET.

CALL FUNCTION 'TMP_GUI_FILE_OPEN_DIALOG'

* EXPORTING
*   WINDOW_TITLE            =
*   DEFAULT_EXTENSION       =
*   DEFAULT_FILENAME        =
*   FILE_FILTER             =
*   INIT_DIRECTORY          =
*   MULTISELECTION          =
* IMPORTING
*   RC                      =
  TABLES

    FILE_TABLE              = itab

* EXCEPTIONS
*   CNTL_ERROR              = 1
*   OTHERS                  = 2

Hi Stock,

This works well.. I've tried it..

Made small changes to the previous one..

PARAMETERS : DATASET(128).

data : itab like table of FILE_TABLE with header line.

AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR DATASET.

CALL FUNCTION 'TMP_GUI_FILE_OPEN_DIALOG'

• EXPORTING

• WINDOW_TITLE =

• DEFAULT_EXTENSION =

• DEFAULT_FILENAME =

• FILE_FILTER =

• INIT_DIRECTORY =

• MULTISELECTION =

• IMPORTING

• RC =

TABLES

FILE_TABLE = itab

• EXCEPTIONS

• CNTL_ERROR = 1

• OTHERS

.

loop at itab.

DATASET = itaB-FILENAME.

endloop.

ps: reward points if helpful.

Hi stock,

1. use the fm

F4_FILENAME

2. use like this

PARAMETERS : p_file LIKE rlgrap-filename

AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR p_file.

CLEAR p_file.

CALL FUNCTION 'F4_FILENAME'

IMPORTING

file_name = p_file.

regards,

amit m.
