Dear all,
We are trying to get a list of the files located in certain directory. The directory itself is located in the application server.
We tried module function " EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING" but it has 2 problems:
- it is not released
- it requires authorizations for objects related to Change and Transport System (off course, it is not desirable assigning these authorizations to business
users)
Using a system command to get the list does not seem a good idea neither (somehow this "solution" go against the isolation of application layer and OS layer).
Using the internal functions employed by AL11 (CALL 'C_DIR_READ_START', CALL 'C_DIR_READ_FINISH' and CALL 'C_DIR_READ_NEXT') could be even worst.
Anybody knows about a RELEASED function or BAPI intended to get this list ?
I agree with the comment from Alejandro Bindi at this thread:
"To me is unbelievable that still SAP didn't provide a properly released general purpose f.m. without this limitations for this so common requirement."
Thanks in advance,
Pedro Restrepo
