Search help for filename+path

[Former Member]

Hello,

When i need to get a file name and its path , i use the f.m. "WS_FILENAME_GET" that popup an explorer window.

I'm looking for a search help that do the same, so i can link it to a data element .

Thank you,

Hi Kobby,

Use rlgrap-filename.

Hi,

there is no such search help. You need to do it like this:

PARAMETERS: p_file TYPE rlgrap-filename.
DATA: gt_filetab TYPE filetable,
      gs_file TYPE file_tab,
      gv_rc TYPE i.

AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR p_file.
  CLEAR gt_filetab.
  CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_open_dialog
    EXPORTING
      multiselection    = space
    CHANGING
      file_table        = gt_filetab
      rc                = gv_rc.

  LOOP AT gt_filetab INTO gs_file.
    p_file = gs_file-filename.
  ENDLOOP.

Regards,

Adrian

Mr. Keshav,

What i'm looking for is a search-help so i can connect it to a data element. It will be used,for instent, when i build

a maintenence dialog thru trans SE54. Te file search will be "build in" when i will use my data element.

Thank you for your answer,anyway.

Best regard,

koby

I think you cannot bring this functionality with a data element.

You can go to the screen logic of the maintenace and add a POV.

I know that i can do this,but the problem is that if you need to regenerate the maintnence ,

you have to remember to rewrite the pov.

[kesavadas_thekkillath]

Hi,

So what i think is its better to go for a program( with table control) instead of a table maintenance through which the entry can be made.

Hi keshav,

Thank you for your response.

I know there are several ways to handle this popup browser.

What i'm looking for is a simple way to handle file choosing , without any "work around".

I think i'll try to build a complex search-help ( with "Search help exit").

Did you use it?

Mybe by overwrite the "hit list display" event , i'll menage to solve my problem.

Thanks,

koby

[kesavadas_thekkillath]

Did you use it?

No .. I haven't tried for such a scenario

Hi,

Never say never....

Sometimes you need to give the customer a flexible search help.

If someday you'll need help on this , call me.

Hi,

Hope you got the solution.

can you please place it in wiki section.

Hi Keshav,

I built it!

I made a search help with function-exit.

How do i publish it as a wiki?

The function-exit is:

FUNCTION yf4if_shlp_exit_filepath.

*"----

---

""Local interface:

*" TABLES

*" SHLP_TAB TYPE SHLP_DESCT

*" RECORD_TAB STRUCTURE SEAHLPRES

*" CHANGING

*" VALUE(SHLP) TYPE SHLP_DESCR

*" VALUE(CALLCONTROL) LIKE DDSHF4CTRL STRUCTURE DDSHF4CTRL

*"----

---

• EXIT immediately, if you do not want to handle this step

IF callcontrol-step <> 'SELONE' AND

callcontrol-step <> 'SELECT' AND

" AND SO ON

callcontrol-step <> 'DISP'.

EXIT.

ENDIF.

*"----

---

• STEP SELONE (Select one of the elementary searchhelps)

*"----

---

• This step is only called for collective searchhelps. It may be used

• to reduce the amount of elementary searchhelps given in SHLP_TAB.

• The compound searchhelp is given in SHLP.

• If you do not change CALLCONTROL-STEP, the next step is the

• dialog, to select one of the elementary searchhelps.

• If you want to skip this dialog, you have to return the selected

• elementary searchhelp in SHLP and to change CALLCONTROL-STEP to

• either to 'PRESEL' or to 'SELECT'.

IF callcontrol-step = 'SELONE'.

• PERFORM SELONE .........

EXIT.

ENDIF.

*"----

---

• STEP PRESEL (Enter selection conditions)

*"----

---

• This step allows you, to influence the selection conditions either

• before they are displayed or in order to skip the dialog completely.

• If you want to skip the dialog, you should change CALLCONTROL-STEP

• to 'SELECT'.

• Normaly only SHLP-SELOPT should be changed in this step.

IF callcontrol-step = 'PRESEL'.

• PERFORM PRESEL ..........

callcontrol-step = 'SELECT'.

EXIT.

ENDIF.

*"----

---

• STEP SELECT (Select values)

*"----

---

• This step may be used to overtake the data selection completely.

• To skip the standard seletion, you should return 'DISP' as following

• step in CALLCONTROL-STEP.

• Normally RECORD_TAB should be filled after this step.

• Standard function module F4UT_RESULTS_MAP may be very helpfull in this

• step.

IF callcontrol-step = 'SELECT'.

callcontrol-step = 'DISP'.

• EXIT. "Don't process STEP DISP additionally in this call.

ENDIF.

*"----

---

• STEP DISP (Display values)

*"----

---

• This step is called, before the selected data is displayed.

• You can e.g. modify or reduce the data in RECORD_TAB

• according to the users authority.

• If you want to get the standard display dialog afterwards, you

• should not change CALLCONTROL-STEP.

• If you want to overtake the dialog on you own, you must return

• the following values in CALLCONTROL-STEP:

• - "RETURN" if one line was selected. The selected line must be

• the only record left in RECORD_TAB. The corresponding fields of

• this line are entered into the screen.

• - "EXIT" if the values request should be aborted

• - "PRESEL" if you want to return to the selection dialog

• Standard function modules F4UT_PARAMETER_VALUE_GET and

• F4UT_PARAMETER_RESULTS_PUT may be very helpfull in this step.

IF callcontrol-step = 'DISP'.

• PERFORM AUTHORITY_CHECK TABLES RECORD_TAB SHLP_TAB

• CHANGING SHLP CALLCONTROL.
