Problems with Function "TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP"

1063 Views

Hi,

I´m using the function TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP to read an excel file and

load it into an internal table. For choosing the filename, I´m using the class method

cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_open_dialog.

My problem now is, that the function TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP needs the

filename like the type RLGRAP-FILENAME. That means Char 128!!!!

It´s not a problem to pass the filename I got from the method into that field, but

filenames with full path included are OFTEN longer than 128 characters....

I have now the problem, that sometimes the filenames are cut because of the too

small field of 128 chars...

I have now tried to copy the funcion, but there are many form routines and data

declarations I have also to copy. Isn´t there a better alternative?

And please explain me the reason why SAP uses filenames/pathinformation with

ONLY 128 characters! 😔

Thank You!
