Purpose:
To create file with WS function using ActiveXObject object.
Usage:
ActiveXObject adds support for the Microsoft COM objects. It enables user to utilize the local file system.
Using this functionality we can create a new file in any specified folder. It comes in handy if user wants to create any logfiles.
ActiveXObject requires the wsoffice.dll installed and loaded before making the call.
Below example demonstrates the creating of text file with filename as current date and time in a specified folder and add text to it.
Liquid UI Code:
////////////////////////////// SAPLIQS0.E0100.sjs ///////////////////////////
load("wsoffice.dll"); // loads wsoffice.dll file
onUIEvents['Enter'] = {"process":iw21_createfile}; // executes function on clicking enter
function iw21_createfile(){
var d = new Date();
var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"); // creates activex object
//creates file with current date and time as filename
var fh = fso.CreateTextFile("C:\\guixt\\Files\\"+d.getFullYear()+""+(d.getMonth()+1)
+""+d.getDate()+""+d.getHours()+""+d.getMinutes()+" "+d.getSeconds()+".txt", true);
fh.WriteLine("some text goes here..."); // adds text to file
fh.close(); // close created file
}
Navigate to path specified to view created files.
