File Save Dialog: Writing data to a new File

[Former Member]

Hi ,

I am allowing user to save a file in a directory using file_save_dialog in cl_gui_frontend_services, so i can write data to it using gui_download.

When the user choose the file at the selection screen its not getting displayed in the parameter box.

I have used the following code.

AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR d_wfil.

PERFORM dest_local.

FORM dest_local .

DATA:

s1 TYPE string,

s2 TYPE string.

DATA: cv_filename TYPE string.

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_save_dialog

EXPORTING

window_title = 'File'

default_extension = 'TXT'

default_file_name = cv_filename

• FILE_FILTER =

initial_directory = 'C:\Documents and Settings\root\Desktop'

• WITH_ENCODING =

• PROMPT_ON_OVERWRITE = 'X'

CHANGING

filename = s

path = s1

fullpath = cv_filename

• user_action =

• FILE_ENCODING =

EXCEPTIONS

cntl_error = 1

error_no_gui = 2

not_supported_by_gui = 3

OTHERS = 4

.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

• MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

• WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

endform.

Please make sure that you move the value to the screen parameters field.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
* WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.

<b>  d_wfil = cv_filename.</b>

endform.

Hi Ram,

You need to use file_open_dialog from cl_gui_frontend_services.

Ex:

parameters: p_file type localfile.

at selection-screen on value-request for p_file.

data: ifile type filetable.

data: xfile like line of ifile.

data: rc type i.

call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_open_dialog

exporting

initial_directory

= 'C:\'

changing

file_table = ifile

rc = rc.

read table ifile into xfile index 1.

check sy-subrc = 0.

p_file = xfile-filename.

Vikram
