Hi Ravi

THe transaction AL11 gives u the list of all directories in application server. In order to scan a source directory, plz use the following fuction module in your program:

RZL_READ_DIR_LOCAL

CALL FUNCTION 'RZL_READ_DIR_LOCAL'

EXPORTING

name = <specify variable of type salfile-longname & pass it here and assign it before using this FM to pathname of type rlgrap-filename>

TABLES

file_tbl = <specify variable of TYPE TABLE OF salfldir & pass it here>

EXCEPTIONS

argument_error = 1

not_found = 2

OTHERS = 3.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

MESSAGE e100(z_msg2) WITH text-008. <put ur error msg here>

ENDIF.

This should solve your problem.

Hi Ravi ,

There is a class <b>'CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES'</b> which provides a number of front end services .

For your specific requirement there is a method called <b>'DIRECTORY_LIST_FILES'</b> which gives the list of files in the directory.
