GUI_GET_FILE_INFO

[Former Member]

Hi,

I'm trying to get the filesize for a given filename. I manage to find a function call GUI_GET_FILE_INFO, however, the max filename (include path) is only 128. Is there another function that does not have this limit? Please help. Thanks.

Regards,

Norman

HI,

YOu can use the method

CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_GET_SIZE

expects the file name as a string (No limit).

Hi,

You can use the method FILE_GET_SIZE of the class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES

Eg:

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_get_size

EXPORTING

file_name = file_name

IMPORTING

FILE_SIZE = file_size

• EXCEPTIONS

• FILE_GET_SIZE_FAILED = 1

• CNTL_ERROR = 2

• ERROR_NO_GUI = 3

• others = 4

.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

• MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

• WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

Here the parameter file_name is of type string.No restiction in length is there..

I suppose your query is satisfied now..

Hi,

You can do it with the help of class <b>CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES</b> and method <b> FILE_GET_SIZE</b>

check it.

DATA: fn    TYPE STRING,
      nSize TYPE I.

  fn = FILENAME.
 CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_GET_SIZE
    EXPORTING
      FILE_NAME           = fn
   IMPORTING
     FILE_SIZE            = nSize
   EXCEPTIONS
     FILE_GET_SIZE_FAILED = 1
     CNTL_ERROR           = 2
     ERROR_NO_GUI         = 3
     NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_GUI = 4
     others               = 5.

Have tried using the method. Return me zero for the filesize. Is there anything I need to take note of?

The filename I pass over is of "C:\testing.txt".

Hi Sie,

Just follow what Anjali Devi has posted.

Here is my code for your query.

data: size type i.

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_get_size

EXPORTING

file_name = 'D:\SP\wiprologo.jpg'

IMPORTING

FILE_SIZE = size

EXCEPTIONS

FILE_GET_SIZE_FAILED = 1

CNTL_ERROR = 2

ERROR_NO_GUI = 3

others = 4

.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

• MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

• WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

CALL METHOD cl_gui_cfw=>flush( ).

WRITE: / size.

This will give you the exact size of the file.

Hi,

Chek this sample code:

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_get_size
  EXPORTING
    file_name            = str
   IMPORTING
     file_size            = size.
 
<b>CALL METHOD  cl_gui_cfw=>flush( ).</b>
WRITE: / file(50), size.

Also chek out:

DATA: FILETAB TYPE TABLE OF FILE_INFO,
          FILEREC TYPE FILE_INFO,
          COUNT TYPE i,
          FZISE TYPE i.
    CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>DIRECTORY_LIST_FILES
      EXPORTING
        DIRECTORY                   = '<Yourfilename>'
        FILTER                      = ''
        FILES_ONLY                  = 'X'
      CHANGING
        FILE_TABLE                  = FILETAB
        COUNT                       = COUNT
      EXCEPTIONS
        CNTL_ERROR                  = 1
        DIRECTORY_LIST_FILES_FAILED = 2
        WRONG_PARAMETER             = 3
        ERROR_NO_GUI                = 4
        others                      = 5.
 
    IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
      RAISE CNTL_ERROR.
    ENDIF.
 
    IF COUNT = 0.
*     Does not exist
      RESULT = ABAP_FALSE.
      FSIZE  = 0.
    ELSE.
*     Does exist
      RESULT = ABAP_TRUE.
      READ FILETAB INDEX 1 INTO FILEREC.
      FSIZE = FILEREC-FILELENGTH.
    ENDIF.

Hope they help you.
