FM to get desktop path

Question

Hi Exports,
    Is there any function module to get the desktop path in our presentation server? It means that I should not browse the path using F4_FILENAME and all. That function module should give my desktop path automatically.
   Or otherwise is there any function module to get my windows user id. Through this I can create desktop path.
Thanks and regards,
Venkat

Answer 1

each user will have different ID ... so i dont think its possible
Below code opens the desktop path for a specific user
check whether there is any other alternative to get the desktop path
DATA:g_error TYPE c.
DATA: t_file_in TYPE filetable,
      w_file_in TYPE file_table,
      rc        TYPE i,
      p_file    TYPE string,
      lv_user_action TYPE i,
      user_name TYPE string,
      path TYPE string.
START-OF-SELECTION.
  PERFORM get_file.
  CHECK g_error IS  INITIAL.
  CHECK rc = 1.
  READ TABLE t_file_in INTO w_file_in INDEX 1.
  MOVE w_file_in TO p_file.
*&      Form  get_file
*       text
FORM get_file .
  CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>get_user_name      
    CHANGING
      user_name            = user_name
    EXCEPTIONS
      cntl_error           = 1
      error_no_gui         = 2
      not_supported_by_gui = 3
      OTHERS               = 4.
  IF user_name is not INITIAL.
    CONCATENATE 'C:\Documents and Settings\' user_name '\Desktop\' INTO path.
    else.
      path = 'C:\Documents and Settings\Desktop\'.
  ENDIF.
  CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_open_dialog
    EXPORTING
      window_title      = 'Select File'
      default_extension = '.Txt'
      initial_directory = path
    CHANGING
      file_table        = t_file_in
      rc                = rc
      user_action       = lv_user_action.
  IF lv_user_action <> cl_gui_frontend_services=>action_ok.
    g_error = 'X'.
  ENDIF.
ENDFORM.                    "get_file
