Get the contents of a Application Server directory

abap, directory-listing

Solution

After reading the answers of Chris Carrthers and tomdemuyt I would say:

1) Use RZL_READ_DIR_LOCAL if you need simple list of filenames.

2) EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING is more powerfull - it can also list subdirectories.

Thanks You both!

Problem

I need to get a listing of a server-side directory inside SAP. How do I achieve this in ABAP? Are there any built-in SAP functions I can call? Ideally I want a function which I can pass a path as input, and which will return a list of filenames in an internal table.
