in Background you can only save files on the Application Server (the SAP Server itself)

In backgroung when files which are locally stored are accessed , It will end up in errors.

as told, any operation, which is dealing with the network outside the SAP Server works only in foreground. It means GUI_DOWNLOAD works only in foreground. In background only the SAP server is visible.

If you are not scheduling it in Backgroung you can use that FM .

you cannot download to the frontend in a background job simply because the GUI isn't available. You will have to use OPEN DATASET and put the file on the Application server in the background and then use the transaction CG3Y in the foreground to download the file to the pc from the application server.

if u need it to be saved in local machine...

change the code to first save in app server using open data set and then use CG3Y to download it to your local machine any time u want...

You cannot use GUI_DOWNLOAD in background mode.

hi,

dont think ALV grid display can work in background , since it will require the ABAP list processor to execute the FM. but this processor is not available at backgrnd.... because of this many SAP GUI based operations cannot be carried out in background..

Hi,

To find the error try using transaction JDBG which helps to debug the program executed in background. Moreover as every said GUI_download or GUI_UPLOAD FM's cant be used in background.
