ABAP: load file using pop-up window

When writing a program the simplest way to load a file from your client PC in to the server SAP syste is through a use of a regular text box.  But if you want to get a little fancier try using the following function:

data: l_select TYPE sapb-sappfad.

CALL FUNCTION 'WS_FILENAME_GET'
       EXPORTING
            def_filename     = l_select
            def_path         = ' '
            mask             = ',*.*,*.*.'
            mode             = 'O'
            title            = 'Select filename to OPEN'(f05)
       IMPORTING
            filename         = l_select
       EXCEPTIONS
            selection_cancel = 1
            selection_error  = 2
            OTHERS           = 3.

This function will open up a pop-up window [standard to windows] allowing the user to select a file somewhere on their local comptuer.
