Hi,

How to check the existence of a directory say USR/INTERFACES/HR/NONHR/SAP_TO_IFS/

before I download a file into that particular directory using GUI_Download.

Currently even if such a directory does not exist,

The download is successful.

But I want to validate the existence of the directory before the download.I tried using the FM PFL_CHECK_DIRECTORY.

Kindly Advice.

Thanks .

Hello Renu

It seems that you are mixing directories on presentation (GUI_DOWNLOAD) and application server (USR/INTERFACES/HR/NONHR/SAP_TO_IFS/).

To check the existance of a directory on the presentation server use method cl_gui_frontend_services=>DIRECTORY_EXIST.

This class has many more useful methods.
