I am not sure we can check this. but i am proposing you another solution.

give 2 parameters to the user.

1 for File path

2 for file name.

this is useful if you are asking for more than 1 input/output file name from the user.

in the first field he will enter only FILE PATH

& in all other fields only related FILENAMES.

Hi Ramakrishna,

To know whether file exists, use method

<b>FILE_EXIST</b> of class <b>CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES</b>.

To know whether directory exists, use method <b>DIRECTORY_EXIST</b> of class <b>CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES</b>.

Under both methods filename is of type STRING and will retutn a boolean variable which states whether (Directory/File) exists or not.

Thanks,

Vinay
