change "WS_FILENAME_GET" to "CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_SAVE_DIALOG"

[raffinkira]

Hi, in an upgrading project, I need to change obselete function WS_FILENAME_GET

to "CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_SAVE_DIALOG"

Here's the sample code:

CALL FUNCTION 'WS_FILENAME_GET'

       EXPORTING

          mask             = ',*.xls,*.xlsx.'

          mode             = 'S'

          title            = 'FILE TITLE'

       IMPORTING

          filename         = g_fname

       EXCEPTIONS

          inv_winsys       = 1

          no_batch         = 2

          selection_cancel = 3

          selection_error  = 4

          OTHERS           = 5.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DATA: WK_TITLE TYPE STRING VALUE 'FILE TITLE',

             WK_FILTER TYPE STRING VALUE ',*.xls,*.xlsx.',

             WK_FILE TYPE FILETABLE,

             WK_RC TYPE I.

       CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_SAVE_DIALOG

          EXPORTING

             WINDOW_TITLE            = WK_TITLE

            FILE_FILTER             = WK_FILTER

         CHANGING

            FILENAME                = g_fname

            RC                      = WK_RC

         EXCEPTIONS

            FILE_OPEN_DIALOG_FAILED = 1

            CNTL_ERROR              = 2

            ERROR_NO_GUI            = 3

            NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_GUI    = 4

            OTHERS                  = 5.

       IF NOT WK_FILE[] IS INITIAL.

         READ TABLE WK_FILE INTO g_fname INDEX 1.

       ENDIF.

Sytax error shows "FILENAME  = g_fname" is type-imcompatible.

But it is OK when use CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_OPEN_DIALOG,

Can anyone give me some advice? Thx.

Hi,

Check the g_fname file type may be different for both case open & save.

double click on g_fname & check type of that.

I am using string for that(known from, file_save_dialog then click on parameters)

check one of my project's code.

  data : v_name                  TYPE string,

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_save_dialog

       EXPORTING

         window_title         = 'File Name to Save'

         default_extension    = '*.pdf'

         default_file_name    = v_name

         prompt_on_overwrite  = 'X'

       CHANGING

         filename             = V_NAME

         path                 = V_PATH

         fullpath             = V_FULLPATH

         user_action          = V_UACT.

Use string type & check.

Thanks

Gourav.

Hi,

Type incompatibility usually refers to mismatch in type of the parameters on both sides of '=' . This can be resolved by defining same types of the variable.
