Dump DYNPRO_MSG_IN_HELP on F4 help for file selection

While processing the “F4” of the file selection using cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_open_dialog, if the user selects nothing and chooses the cancel button, we always want to give a message at this time.

Please don’t try to output an “E” message at your program; otherwise, it will trigger the dump error ‘DYNPRO_MSG_IN_HELP’ with the category ‘Error at Screen Runtime’. Instead of the Error message, just change to the ‘S’ type will do and stop further processing.

 

Take this as a template backup for file selection : )

      Behavior documented here: https://help.sap.com/doc/abapdocu_latest_index_htm/latest/en-US/index.htm?file=abenabap_message_dialog.htm

      Behavior 7:

      • "The sending of error messages or warnings is not allowed in POH and POV processing and in the handling of a function code of type "E". This raises a uncatchable exception."
