Hi Krishnanjaneyulu,

Did you find any solution to the F4 help for Application Server Path? I have similar requirement.

FM /SAPDMC/LSM_F4_SERVER_FILE works, but only if the supplied file path is correct.

When i enter a wrong path, one information message comes and then the program gives a short dump.

Please reply to me if you have got some solution.

My code is something like this..

Hi Krishna,

I got a similar requirement to select only the application server folder and not the file.

Did you find the suitable function module or class for this. If so please do let me know.

Hi Krishna,

I also searched for any FM or class but i couldn't got.

So you can do one thing that debug program RS_GET_F4_DIR_FROM_APPLSERV.

what i found is "MAIN" subroutine is responsible for writing all the Directory name.

using following syntax :

• get name of directory

call 'C_SAPGPARAM' id 'NAME' field 'DIR_ATRA'

id 'VALUE' field searchpoints-dirname.

• get name of directory

call 'C_SAPGPARAM' id 'NAME' field 'DIR_BINARY'

id 'VALUE' field searchpoints-dirname.

and so on...

Here "searchpoints-dirname" is containing the dirctory path, so like this you can collect all the directory path.

Store all the path in internl table and use FM "F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST" to get the F4 help.

I hope it will solve ur issue.

If anybody has any easy solution than this please let us know....

Rajeev Goswami

I had a similar requirement long back and we did use :'EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING' by paasing the path and then looked for the pattern to get the exact fle My requirement did not invloved providing F4 help ...This FM returnd all the file existing in that directory ..You can use it display file name and choose it by wrapping this FM under the F4 FM .

Hi,

    I too faced similar problem for F4 help to Application server.Finally ,found the soultion by myself.

             SUBMIT rs_get_f4_dir_from_applserv AND RETURN.

            IMPORT  path_name = l_path_name FROM MEMORY ID 'PATH_NAME_SDL'.

     We will get the filepath in the l_path_name variable.

Regards,

Aditya.
