Finding Location of Uploaded File Using SAP GUI Upload

When you upload a file using the gui_upload function, the file is not uploaded to the Application server. The file is read from presentation layer to an internal table.

Example

Following code can be used to call a gui_upload function to read the file to an internet table:

lv_filename = p_filebp.
CLEAR lt_data_tab.
IF NOT lv_filename IS INITIAL.
  CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
    EXPORTING
      filename = lv_filename
    TABLES
      data_tab = lt_data_tab
    EXCEPTIONS
      file_open_error = 1
      OTHERS = 17.
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    EXIT.
  ENDIF.
ENDIF.

You can check if data from a file has been read and transferred to an internal table. Now you can upload this to a file on the Application server.

Also, note that you can T-code: AL11 to open existing folders and files in SAP system as below:
