Hi,

Any GUI function module ,you can't run in a back ground mode. GUI function modules will access the data from presentation server(local data). when u run it in the back ground system will not consider local path or file. that's why it gives file path error or file error.

Hi,

No GUI Related FM can be run in background, as there will be no access to GUI(Frontend) while running the program in background.

You need to use the system variable Sy-BATCH to determine if the program is running in the background and use a appropriate method to store the file in the application server.
