Hi all,

please, what is the FM to get app server directory and files??

I have to browse the server, not my local machine.

The program will run background.

Regards.

You can use EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING to get a list of files in a directory, also you can especify a wildcard.

If you have to get a file from the application server and download to a local pc you have tu open the file with open dataset, read each record and append them in an internal table. Later you can download the internal table with gui_download. This procedure can't run in background!!

You need to use Open dataset statement to open the file.
