TO READ FILES IN A PARTICULAR DIRECTORY FROM APPLICATION SERVER

Hi all,
Is there any function module which gives the list of files in a specific directory ??
for eg ;i want to fetch all files in a particular directory say */interf/sy-mandt/reports....*
I need a function module which will give all filenames in an internal table ,if i give the directory name as input.
Thanks in advance,
Aakash.

Hi,
You can use WS_FILENAME_GET but understand it is obsolete. Search for a FM in function group SFES. I saw quite a few and one of them should meet your requirement.
Cheers !

  • "Open file..." dialog from Application Server (Unix)

    Hi all you experts.
    I have a simple ABAP program that reads input files from Application Server (Unix), at this moment the users have to enter manually the name of the file(s) in a parameter text field. I would like to add value to this program by helping the user select the file using an "Open file..." dialog or something similar that enable them to chose the file on behalf of writing the complete name (including the path).
    Do you have any idea about how to implement it?
    Many thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Try function module F4_DXFILENAME_TOPRECURSION or F4_FILENAME_SERVER (for a specific directory) within the at value-request event for the filename.

  • XML File not fully downloaded Fully from Application Server.

    Hi,
    I am downloading an XML file from Application server. It's only downloading partially. Below is the Declaration for target Internal table.
    DATA: BEGIN OF infile OCCURS 0,
            line(65535) TYPE c,
          END OF infile.
    SAP does not allow more than 65535 characters for a data type of type C. So its only downloading till that length.
    If I am using type as STRING, its downloading in different format. Also its not allowing me to put these data into internal table.
    Below is my code for downloading.
    OPEN DATASET p_unix IN TEXT MODE MESSAGE msg.
        IF sy-subrc <> 0.
          MESSAGE i001(38) WITH 'Error on Open of File: ' msg.
        ELSE.
          WHILE sy-subrc = 0.
            READ DATASET p_unix INTO infile.
            CHECK sy-subrc = 0.
            APPEND infile.
            ENDWHILE.
          CLOSE DATASET p_unix.
    Is there any way to convert string into XML format & put it in the internal table?
    Kindly suggest me any other way, so I can download the entire set of file into the internal table.
    Thanks,
    Debi.

    Hi ,
    Try downloading the file from the application server using the TCode CG3Y on your local machine.
    Then use the FM GUI_UPLOAD to upload the contents in an internal table.

  • Retreiving the file names from directory inside another directory from application server

    Hi,
    I had a problem in retreiving the file names from a directory inside another directory.
    I tried using the FM's  SUBST_GET_FILE_LIST, RZL_READ_DIR_LOCAL and EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING
    But here I am getting only one directory details.
    Actually my file is located a directory inside one more directory and one more directory and inside the files are located.
    i.e total 3 directories inside the 3rd one my files are there.
    I need to read the latest file name in the directory.
    So that i can do some manipulation after getting the file name.
    Is there option like OPEN DATASET , READ DATASET and CLOSE DATASET?
    Can anyone please let me know How can i acheive this one.
    Regards

    Hi,
    What actually happens?  Do you get a short dump?  Do you get a return code ne 0?  Does it run fine but you get no data in your table?
    We aren't mind-readers and can't help much without more information.
    Try using transaction AL11 to see if you access the files you are trying to open.

  • Process for Flat file delta load from Application server to transactional??

    I want to do a flat file extraction in delta loads from application server and that should be loaded into a transactional cubes scheduling a process chain.
    Can any one help with ABAP code and step by step process for this?
    Thank you
    Devi

    Hi Devi,
    As per your explaination, you want to load a list of files from application server using process chain.
    You can do this with below steps.
    1) Create a Event and call event to run Process chain multiple times.
    2) Put all filenames in a file say, source-File
    3) Write a rooting to read filename from Source-File and trigger InfoPackage
    4) At the end of the process chain create new customized program which will delete first line from Source-File so that it will take next file in next run as well as delete currently loaded file. Once this is done trigger event again to start process chain again.

  • Urgent!doubt in upload the file to a particular directory.

    Hi
    Actually i'm developing a site using JSP.
    Main concept of the project is the user should be

    in the world thru internet via intranet.
    i've placed upload option in my site.
    each user should b given a separate directory.
    can anyone tell me how to make the user to store

    And to view the file, if the user enters the file name
    it should open the file in the particular format.
    i need the coding since i'm new to jsp.
    can anyone help me or refer any site tht can solve
    my problem?
    thanx in advance.

    I'd just answered a similar case. I believe this is what you are looking for;
    <%@ page contentType="MIME-Type; Charset=Character-Set" %>
    Read up on MIME-Type and Character-Set for info.
    Here some exmaple;
    By default:

    Show an MS Excel file;

    HI,
    1.
    OPEN DATASET ld_file FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
    IF sy-subrc NE 0.
    EXIT.
    ELSE.
    DO.
    CLEAR: wa_string, wa_uploadtxt.
    READ DATASET ld_file INTO wa_string.
    IF sy-subrc NE 0.
    EXIT.
    ELSE.
    SPLIT wa_string AT cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab INTO wa_uploadtxt-name1

    wa_uploadtxt-age.
    APPEND  wa_uploadtxt TO itab.
    ENDDO.
    CLOSE DATASET ld_file.

    2. If the another file get's generated in the application server with same file name then the data in old file get's over written with the new data. You are not required to delete the file.

  • Reading tab delimited file from application server

    Hi All,
    I do know that we need to use Open data set to read a file from application server, but my question is when you use  read DATASET v_file into wa_final -  this wa_final is an work area and also i have mentione an internal table. so do we need to Split the record at tab into the corresponding fields. Append the records into an internal table i_input.????
    Please let me know on this....
    thanks in advance....
    Poonam....

    Hi,
    first see the file contents in application server, how the contents whether the contents seperated by any symbol or not, if the contents seperated by any symbol then you have to split the data before appending to internal table.
    check this code.
    DATA: l_data_string TYPE string.
      filename = p_file.
      OPEN DATASET p_file FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
      IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
        DO.
          READ DATASET filename INTO l_data_string.
          IF sy-subrc NE 0.
            EXIT.
          ENDIF.
          CLEAR k_input.
          SPLIT l_data_string AT '#' INTO k_input-agreement k_input-suffix k_input-status
                k_input-first_name k_input-last_name k_input-job_title k_input-tel k_input-fax k_input-email_address k_input-mob_number.

    Hi ,
    In ECC 6 if all the unicode patches are applied then UTF 16 will defintly work..
    More over i would suggest you to ist replace # with some other  * or , and then try to see in debugging if any further  # appears..
    and no # appears then try to split now.
    if even now the # appears after replace statement then try to find out what exactly is it... wheather it is a horizantal tab etc....
    and then again try to replace it and then split..
    Please follow the process untill all the # are replaced...
    This should work for you..
    Let me know if you further face any issue...
