Hi,

My program allows to have input a directory and a filter to retrieve files. In an normal execution, I used Frontend Services but in background that don't work. What must I use get files in a background execution?

You cannot use front end services in background.

You need to open dataset statement, which will download data to application server

I must retrieve files which are on a network server, not on SAP Server. Your function search files on SAP Server... I want realize exactly that the directory_list_files method do.
