Function module to get the file path in the system for TEMP folder

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Is there any function module that I can use to get the file path in the system for TEMP folder.

I mean, i am supposed to give only TEMP as the input for that function module and I need to get the path of that in the system as the output.

I am unsing 4.0 version.

Please advice.

Regards

In Higher versions, we can use the below code:

-

---

call method CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>ENVIRONMENT_GET_VARIABLE

exporting

VARIABLE = 'TEMP'

importing

VALUE = LV_TMP

exceptions

CNTL_ERROR = 1

others = 2.

if SY-SUBRC <> 0.

message id SY-MSGID type SY-MSGTY number SY-MSGNO

with SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

endif.

call method CL_GUI_CFW=>FLUSH

exceptions

CNTL_SYSTEM_ERROR = 1

CNTL_ERROR = 2

others = 3.

if SY-SUBRC <> 0.

• Error handling

endif.

concatenate lv_tmp '\' into folder_path.

But need to know in the lower versions like 3.1h and 4.0,

Look at old now (obsolete) FM WS_QUERY

 CALL FUNCTION 'WS_QUERY'
     EXPORTING
          environment    = 'TEMP'
          query          = 'EN'
     IMPORTING
          return         = lv_tmp
     EXCEPTIONS
          inv_query      = 1
          no_batch       = 2
          frontend_error = 3
          OTHERS         = 4.
