CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES= FILE_OPEN_DIALOG

Hi Experts,
I have a customized program with BDC. first My program will convert a .dbf file into .xls file. My second program executes the .xls file.
The .xls file that I get from my first program will be transferred into a textbox in my second program.
But my second program is using CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_OPEN_DIALOG to execute a command. If you just enter the directory/path in the textbox it wont execute but if you use f4 the program will successfully be executed.
I have put my method in AT SELECTION-SCREEN. so that when I use the bdc it will automatically read the path BUT the dialogbox still appear.
How can I make the dialog box disappear but still it will execute the method ?
CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_OPEN_DIALOG
    exporting
      default_filename        = cv_fname "'C:\USERS\Asd\DESKTOP\RATRA.XLS'

Hi Jepoy,
You can set the result of the save button which is action_ok in a variable. So when u execute the same code again, just pass this below method call.
IF lv_result = cl_gui_frontend_services=>action_OK.
RETURN.
ENDIF.

Error when using the method cl_gui_frontend_services= file_open_dialog

Hello Experts,
I am currently practicing BDC and I think the first step is to locate where my text file is. Now based on my code below, after selecting my text file nothing happens.
Also, what will be my next after getting the file from a specific location? Thanks guys!

Be familiar with the structure BDCDATA.
Data transfers In this page..
Next u need to know about the transaction RECORDER the tcode is SHDB.
Nothing is difficult in this ..
For example When u r creating a data element in SE11 u go through some screens in a flow, by clicking some pushbuttons and by generating some function codes manually, and entering values manually...
But here u wont do it manually, these values will be populated from file into an internal table...
Before calling a transaction into which u r going to populate the data is to be filled into a table with structure BDCDATA.
U need to use CALL TRANSACTION 'SE11' using BDCDATA or
the session method..

Exit CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES= FILE_OPEN_DIALOG once I get the file name

Server path not drive CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES= FILE_OPEN_DIALOG

Hi folks
When using the CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_OPEN_DIALOG or WS_FILENAME_GET we some times have the server path returned.
And sometimes the drive letter returned.
See two examples:
1: \\blrx1\os390out\id1\test.txt
2: R:\os390out\id1\test.txt
What to do when we ALWAYS want the server path returned??
Best regards
Carsten

I don't know whether it is perhaps a mapping issue / windows setting that results in the path returned with the mapped drive?
I just debugged one of methods above and I cant recreate the same issue when I pick up a file in a mapped directory, sorry.
I guess there is also the option for you to do some substring manipulation and path mapping in a look up table - but if you have hundreds of servers rather than a few maybe not the best workaround.

Regarding CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES= FILE_OPEN_DIALOG

I'm using CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_OPEN_DIALOG to replace WS_FILENAME_GET which is an obsolete function module in ECC6.
WS_FILENAME_GET was making use of the file mask -
',.csv ,.csv ,.txt ,.txt.'
When I use the same string in the file_filter parameter of FILE_OPEN_DIALOG, it doesn't work.
Can somebody tell me the correct string format? I would like *.csv & *.txt as the file mask in the open dialog.
Thanks!

Hi
U can give like this |.csv| ,|.csv |,|.txt |,|.txt.|'
i think it will work.
Thanks

File extension for: cl_gui_frontend_services= file_open_dialog

Hello,
I would like to set the file extension for cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_open_dialog such that my default extension in the file open dialogue is the .csv (comma-separated value) file. May I know how can I do that?
Thanks!

Hello,
Thanks for the quick reply.
Howeer, I tried to use the extension of CSV and the file dialogue opened up with .RTF (which is the default extension) instead.
Any comment on that?

CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES= FILE_OPEN_DIALOG causes SAPGUI to crash

Hi,
When I try to select a file to download or upload an LSMW project my SAP GUI freezes completely, and the only way out is to kill it via Windows task manager.
After quite some research I found out that:
- This happens only on some PC's (but all PC's have the same SAP GUI version, i.e . 7.10)
- When I debug this I see that the issue happens somewhere within CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_OPEN_DIALOG
- The default folder passed to that method is C:\. If I change it to something else (in debug change mode), everything goes well
Anybody experienced this before?
Thanks
Patrick

Hi Jepoy,
You can set the result of the save button which is action_ok in a variable. So when u execute the same code again, just pass this below method call.

Diff between GUI_UPLOAD and CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES= GUI_UPLOAD

i want to upload some records from the flat file to internal table. when i use GUI_UPLOAD function module in tables parameter i have given the work area. but when i use CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES-=>FILE_OPEN_DIALOG and then CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>GUI_UPLOAD i have given the internal table body in the changing parameters. my doubt is we have used GUI_UPLOAD in both occassions but when we use GUI_UPLOAD alone we are giving the internal table workarea but when we use it along with class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES we are giving the internal table body. whats is the reason or logic behind this?.

Hi guys -- the answers you've given are correct but an example IMO is 100% better

Equivalent WD method for file_open_dialog

Hello,
What is the equivalent method in WD ABAP for cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_open_dialog (to specify the path of a file in a pop-up)?
I have a requirement wherein i want to specify the path in which a file will be saved in the local system. I call the method ATTACH_FILE_TO_RESPONSE to save a file, but it doest gives me a path as such.
Best Regards,
Seshadri

Both ATTACH_FILE_TO_RESPONSE and fileDownload are the recommended methods to trigger download to the frontend. They work a little differently than the old CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES becuase they are running within a browser and have to deal with a different security and interaction model for file downloads. With the ATTACH_FILE_TO_RESPONSE, the MIME type and the corresponding configuration on the client workstation control if the file gets the save dialog box or if it opens immediately.
The fileDownload UI element has a behaviour property that helps you to influence the way the download is handled on the client side.
