Documentation

Definition

A platform-independent name for a file to be stored in the file system.

Use

At runtime, the logical file name is converted by the FILE_GET_NAME function module to a platform-specific path and file name.

You can find out more about this setting in Basis customizing under Cross-Client Maintenance of File Names and Paths.

Procedure

Enter a name which indicates what the physical file is used for.

Examples

Dependencies

The logical file name applies to all clients. In addition, you can define it specifically for the current client by using transaction SF01.
