Move/Copy file to directory at AL11

Posted on May 7, 2013 by btalexlee
Move file to directory at AL11
Copy file to directory at AL11
To copy or move a file from directory at AL11, I have used this
function ARCHIVFILE_SERVER_TO_SERVER.
Take note that if the system is in unix, the path is case sensitive!
for example

/path1/path2/path3/file.xml
is different from
/path1/path2/path3/File.xml
CALL FUNCTION ‘ARCHIVFILE_SERVER_TO_SERVER’
EXPORTING
SOURCEPATH =
* TARGETPATH =‘‘
* IMPORTING
* LENGTH =
* EXCEPTIONS
* ERROR_FILE =1
* OTHERS =2
.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
* WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.

After you have copy a file, you may use DELETE DATASET to delete a file.

To add, I also have use this function module to list all the files in a directory

CALL FUNCTION ‘EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING’

EXPORTING
DIR_NAME =
* FILE_MASK =‘‘
* IMPORTING
* DIR_NAME =
* FILE_COUNTER =
* ERROR_COUNTER =
TABLES
DIR_LIST =
* EXCEPTIONS
* INVALID_EPS_SUBDIR =1
* SAPGPARAM_FAILED =2
* BUILD_DIRECTORY_FAILED =3
* NO_AUTHORIZATION =4
* READ_DIRECTORY_FAILED =5
* TOO_MANY_READ_ERRORS =6
* EMPTY_DIRECTORY_LIST =7
* OTHERS =8

If you face error, it’s might be these following possibility which I faced.
1. Authorisation ( you may use this function module to check , AUTHORITY_CHECK_DATASET )
2. Mode of the directory ( go to AL11, double click a directory, click Attributes, check Mode. It should
have write privileges.
