Check this one.
FORM f9008_f4_hlp_for_pc_file.
  DATA: li_filetable TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF file_table,
        lv_return TYPE i,
        lw_filetable TYPE file_table.
  CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_open_dialog
     EXPORTING
       window_title            = 'Select file for download'
       default_extension       = '.txt'
       initial_directory       =  'C:'
     CHANGING
       file_table              = li_filetable
       rc                      = lv_return
     EXCEPTIONS
       file_open_dialog_failed = 1
       cntl_error              = 2
       error_no_gui            = 3
       OTHERS                  = 4
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    MESSAGE e006 WITH text-077.
  ELSE.
    READ TABLE li_filetable INTO lw_filetable INDEX 1.
    v_fnam = lw_filetable-filename.
  ENDIF.
In adition to that there are
CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>DIRECTORY_LIST_FILES
     EXPORTING
CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>DIRECTORY_GET_CURRENT
     EXPORTING
This will Returns the Current Directory
