This is the code i had refered from automation documentation , since its older code some of the it is deprecated .
can someone provide a alternative for it.

/* Open file that is located at "filepath" */
SPErr OpenFile(char* filepath) {
    SPErr error = kSPNoError;
    Handle tempAlias;
    PIActionDescriptor result = NULL;
    PIActionDescriptor desc = NULL;

#if Macintosh
    NewAliasMinimalFromFullPath(
        strlen(filepath),
        filepath,
        nil,
        nil,
        &(AliasHandle)tempAlias
    );
#else
    size_t size = strlen(filepath);
    tempAlias = sPSHandle->New(size + 1);
    if (tempAlias != NULL) {
        GlobalLock(tempAlias);
        strncpy(*tempAlias, filepath, strlen(filepath) + 1);
        GlobalUnlock(tempAlias);
    }
#endif

    error = sPSActionDescriptor->Make(&desc);
    if (error) goto returnError;

    error = sPSActionDescriptor->PutAlias(desc, keyNull, tempAlias);
    if (error) goto returnError;

    error = sPSActionControl->Play(&result, eventOpen, desc, plugInDialogSilent);
    if (error) goto returnError;

returnError:
#if Macintosh
    if (tempAlias != NULL) DisposeHandle(tempAlias);
#else
    if (tempAlias != NULL) sPSHandle->Dispose(tempAlias);
#endif

    /* Free descriptors and references */
    if (desc != NULL) error = sPSActionDescriptor->Free(desc);
    if (result != NULL) error = sPSActionDescriptor->Free(result);

    return error;
} /* end OpenFile */
