SUBST_GET_FILE_LIST

[Former Member]

I am using the function module SUBST_GET_FILE_LIST to get the list of files in the directory.In that there are two import parameters dirname and filenm.I wanted to know what do I enter for the above two parameters?I have with me the physical file name which I got from the logical filename using the function module FILE_GET_NAME

Can anyone please tell me what needs to be entered for the two parameters dirname and filenm and from where do I get those values from?

Since you don't mention an sap version, I'll guess you are using ECC6.

Parameter dirname should have the name of the directory you want to view a list of files of. (c:\temp ,/usr/sap/tmp , ...)

Filename can have a pattern '.\' for all files '\*.txt for only text files etc.

The parameter pattern seems to have the same effect as the parameter filenm, so I think you can ignore it.
