Saving list/report as local file - NAME OF DIRECTORY

Hi Folks
Maybe a strange questio!
But when I want to save a list to my workstation, I use the menu:
System->list->save->local file.
Then I suggest unconverted.
And then the pop-up ask me for the filename. No problem.
But from where does this POP-UP get the name of the directory where to save the file?? I would like to change this default to another value than the suggested!!
Best regards
Carsten

hi,
   There is another way of changing the path name which you get. I found it to be simple.
Create a shortcut to the server, then it asks for<b>Working directory path</b>, there will be a default path name which we see everytime.
We can change this pathname as we require. Then we can get this newpath when we click list->save->local file -> unconverted->ok.

  • While saving alv report to local file(excel) OA number not coming fully..

    HI,

    Hello Ganesh,
    When you export the file from SAP to your PC, select "unconverted" radio button.  Enter a file name and path, then save it with a text file (.txt) extension.  Then do the following steps on your PC.
      1.  Open the Excel application.
      2.  Open the text file in the application.  The system will automatically open the text import wizard.
      3.  Select "Fixed Width", then press next pushbutton.
      4.  After you parse the columns, press next pushbutton.
      5.  Go to the column where you want to keep leading zeros.  Select "Text" in the "Column data format" box.

    Yes Rahul, I know that and you have to do the formating. This is how you can do.
    Open the unconverted file in Excel format.
    Select the first column and then goto Data - Text to Columns , a pop up will come.
    Select Delimited, then press next.
    Then selct the delimeter that is used in the unconverted file to seperate two columns. Say for example if ' | ' is used then in others write ' | ' and press next.
    IN the data preview section select all the columns and then select text radio button on top and press finish finally.
    Now u will get the proper format of the file. Delete all the empty rows and columns that u don't want.
    Reward if you find it useful.

  • While Saving ALV report in Local File getting error

    Getting output properly , but while saving(downloading) the output result getting Dump from system.
    Runtime Errors         GETWA_NOT_ASSIGNED
    Short text

         come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
    NOT GETTING WHERE EXACTLY IT IS WRONG....
    Please suggest the solution..
    Thanks in advance

    Usually this is due to wrong fieldcatalog, or inconsistenecy between field catalog, internal table or some fields of the layout (bselect box or lights for example) -> The FIRST thing to do is the execution of [The Consistency Check|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_470/helpdata/en/d6/23253963143e6ae10000000a11402f/frameset.htm], then correct the program to adjust field catalog or layout.

  • Saving ALV Grid to Local File issue - Missing half of the report

    Hi Experts, Good Day.
    I have developed an ALV Grid report using class CL_SALV_TABLE which displays 200 Columns and 100+ rows/records. It is displaying well, but when I am saving the output into local file (any type) there only 98 columns are downloading and remaining all the columns are missing.
    I would like to know whether there is any restriction for number of columns or what might the problem for it. How can I download all the columns into local file.
    Thanks in Adv.
    Vijay

    Hi,
    Thanks for your response. Even though there are multiple ways to send data to local file I believe all three are same. And even I am facing same issue all the ways. Only 98 Columns data is getting downloaded into Files (it might be .txt, .xls, etc.).
    After downloading first 98 Columns, I am hiding the downloaded columns and again I am downloading remaining columns. Then I am merging in the Excel file. This is very complicated for the End-User. So, please help me out.
    I have used only following methods for displaying ALV.
    For initial object/instance:
    CL_SALV_TABLE=>FACTORY,
    For ALV functions:
    CL_SAVL_TABLE->GET_FUNCTIONS,
    CL_SALV_FUNCTIONS_LIST->SET_ALL,
    For Column heading and Optimized width:
    CL_SALV_TABLE->GET_COLUMNS,
    CL_SALV_COLUMNS_TABLE->SET_OPTIMIZE,
    CL_SALV_COLUMNS_TABLE->GET_COLUMN,
    CL_SALV_COLUMN->SET_SHORT_TEXT,
    To display grid:
    CL_SALV_TABLE->DISPALY.
    - Thanks

  • How to pass the local file name to the workflow in TC OAWD

    Hi everybody!
    I have to pass the local file name of the image as a parameter to a workflow in TC OAWD.
    By debugging I found the FM which starts the workflow -  'ARCHIV_PROCESS_FAXINPUT' . It has two importing parameters : FRONTENDPATH and BASICFILENAME, but they are not used by calling the FM.
    Do you have an idea if there is a DDIC table, which contains the local file name or another way to solve the issue.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi,
    Not sure of what you want.
    Have a look at v$session view. Machine column is maybe what you're looking for.
    If you want to retrieve the local host executing remote desktop, it's actually not possible natievely, since it's still remote host that is connecting to the database.
    Hope it helps.

  • Selecting a list of files and creating a list of only the file names?

    Hopefully this is an easy question, one that I can't seem to figure out. I have a folder of photos and I would like to select all their file names and create a text list of just the file names. Every time I try I select the photos themselves and when pasted into my text document all of a sudden I have a lot of images. Any advice on how to do this? Thanks Jeff

    You're part way there. Do this in TextEdit. Open a new document, CMDSHIFTT to put it into plain text format, paste in the contents of your photo folder, and be surprised when only the names get pasted and not the images. If you want them in alphabetical order, change the photo folders view to list and click on the name column before copying.

  • My file names have disappeared in grid view. Thery have been replaced with a dark bar along the bottom of the previews. If I toggle using the command u it hide the bar but I still can't see the file name. In list view all the file names are OK.

    My file names have disappeared in grid view. Thery have been replaced with a dark bar along the bottom of the previews. If I toggle using the command u it hide the bar but I still can't see the file name. In list view all the file names are OK.

    The dark bar is caused by the option "Show metadata below image".
    Check the settings for the metadata overlays in Grid view (basic and expanded) by clicking the little "badge" icon below the Browser and selecting "Edit". Is the filename still enabled in the list? And in a high enough position to have precedence for other metadata tags, if the space does not suffice to show all selected tags?

  • Dynamic File Name and Directory File Sender Adapter

    Hello gurus,
    I have a question: Is there any way to make the File Name, and Directory Dynamic of a File Sender Communication Channel ?
    For example, taking it as a parameter from a Web Service Request.. (I mean, the only way with this would be a ccBPM). I don't exactly know if there is a way, I just thought about this.
    Please tell me if someone could make Dynamic these 2 parameters while picking a file.
    Regards,
      Juan

    oops,thought i was replying to the PgP question:)
    I think you should be able to achieve this via adapter module but i m not really sure how exactly it will be done .

  • List save as local file is greyed out

    Hi All,
    After the ECC upgrdation, Save as local file path is greyed out for certain t.codes like mmbe, mm60 etc ALV reports
    whereas it is okay with mb52, mm5b (normal report)
    Path to save as local file is  " System>LIST>Save---> Local file, office folders, report tree is greyed out
    Is this standard behaviour or a bug?
    Raj
    Edited by: Raj on Jul 9, 2010 2:27 PM

    You have Export option for MM60 report in ECC 6.0 in Menu List-Export-Local file and check.
    And for MMBe you will have to do some work to get this option. Go to MMBE and execute and in output screen there is a Print icon click beside this icon and you will get options call print preview of view click on it and it will show print preview from here you can go to list-save-local file
    Just check it once

  • Saving as PDF - problem with file name

    Hello everybody,
    I have a little problem. I'm making a lot of similar document with InDesign so everytime I copy/paste the latest and then rename it from windows. But when I try to save (with a custom preset) the document as PDF, everytime on default InDesign gave the name of the original document, so I have to write the right name everytime. How can I change this? I want to have on default the file name I'm working on, not the original one.
    EXAMPLE
    I copy and paste "average.indd" and then I rename it as "joe.indd". I make some changes inside JOE, save it and then try to export as PDF. When the saving window appear, the program suggest "average.pdf" as name of the PDF I'm creating.
    Thanks for your support and excuse me if my english is not that good (not my language).
    Have a nice day!
    Dario

    Ah well, it is generally accepted that the most recent PDF-export file name "sticks" and when that's the case, there isn't anything you can do about it except type in the new name you want. However, I just tried it a second time (the first time before my first post), and here, I got it to work the way you want by doing what I originally advised...
    Start new file.
    Save As average.indd
    Export > PDF...file name defaults to average.pdf
    Back in InDesign, Save As joe.indd
    Export > PDF...file name defaults to joe.pdf
    What exactly did you try, and where did the result differ from what I saw?

  • Need help getting files names from directory

    I have never done anything in php before and I'm struggling.
    In an attempt to search through potential document names in a directory, I've added the following code to a new php document:
    <?php
    if ($handle = opendir('.')) {
        while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) {
            if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
                echo "$file\n";
        closedir($handle);
    ?>
    with no luck. When executed all I get is a blank screen. Any ideas why?
    End goal is to list the file names in the directory so that the user can choose to open desired document. Thanks!
