HI

If iam not wrong you want to select a file from a location that you don't know so if this is ur problem then use the function module

F4_FILENAME

this FM helps to locate and select the desired file from the system.

Sample code that you can check is

How to get windows filename

PARAMETERS: lv_file LIKE rlgrap-filename.

Method 1

CALL FUNCTION u2019KD_GET_FILENAME_ON_F4u2019

EXPORTING

MASK = u2019,.txt,.*u2019

STATIC = u2019Xu2019

CHANGING

FILE_NAME = LV_FILE.

Method 2

CALL FUNCTION u2019F4_FILENAMEu2019

EXPORTING

program_name = syst-cprog

dynpro_number = syst-dynnr

field_name = u2019 u2019

IMPORTING

file_name = LV_FILE.

Hello Gopal

Define the selection-screen event

AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST for <parameter_for_file>

When the event is triggered call the static method CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_OPEN_DIALOG.

hi,....

for search path for file on your local pc you can use the following...

*AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR p_file .

• CALL FUNCTION 'F4_FILENAME'

• EXPORTING

• program_name = syst-cprog

• dynpro_number = syst-dynnr

• field_name = 'C:\'

• IMPORTING

• file_name = p_file.

on clicking f4 it will display the search path as you want.
