Hi, All

in our application server there will be a file in the following format

\tmp\ebsfiles\From-EBS\sap_oeu_RDC#_yyyymmddhhmmss.txt.

so this file will be comming from our legacy system and will be so many files comming in one day so when ever my program is executed i have have to pick the LATEST FILE can any one send me the logic how i can do this.

thanks,

Hi siri,

see following function modules might be useful.

F4_FILENAME_SERVER “ File Path on Server

FILE_NAME_GET “ Logical File Path

Hi Siri,

Use the functionmodule SUBST_GET_FILE_LIST to get the files in a particular directory.

Once you get the files in the directory, sort the files internal table by MOD_DATE and MOD_TIME in descending order.

Then the first file will be the latest file.

Hi siri,

try this:

CONSTANTS: CMD_LS(50) VALUE 'ls -al \tmp\ebsfiles\From-EBS'.

*

DATA: BEGIN OF ITAB_LS OCCURS 0,

LINE(200),

END OF ITAB_LS.

*

CALL 'SYSTEM'

ID 'COMMAND' FIELD CMD_LS

ID 'TAB' FIELD ITAB_LS-SYS.

*

loop at itab_ls . write: / ITAB_LS-LINE+57(30). endloop.

Put ITAB_LS-LINE+57(30) in an internal table, sort this table, take the

first record of this table and do what you want with this.

hope it helps.

Regards, Dieter
