Upgrade- Download function module

Former Member — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:53:53 GMT

Hi all,

I am working in an upgrade from 4.6C to ECC 6.0.

I came across one FM which is used in 4.6C.

CONSTANTS C_PRES_SERVER_TEMP_DIR LIKE RLGRAP-FILENAME VALUE 'c:\temp\'.
CONSTANTS C_PRES_FILE_MASK(62)
VALUE ',Data files *.csv  *.dat  *.txt,*.CSV;*.DAT;*.TXT,All files,*.'.
CONSTANTS C_EXCEL(4) VALUE '.xls'.

 CHECK NOT DOWNLOAD IS INITIAL.
  CHECK SY-BATCH = C_FALSE.
  M_SET_DEFAULT 'P' C_PRES_SERVER_TEMP_DIR WA_FILE-NAME C_EXCEL REPID.

  CALL FUNCTION 'DOWNLOAD'
       EXPORTING
*           BIN_FILESIZE        = ' '
*           CODEPAGE            = ' '
*           FILENAME            = ' '
            FILETYPE            = 'DAT'
*           ITEM                = ' '
*           MODE                = ' '
*           FILEMASK_TEXT       = ' '
            FILETYPE_NO_CHANGE  = C_TRUE
*           NO_AUTH_CHECK       = ' '
       IMPORTING
            ACT_FILENAME        = WA_FILE-NAME
            ACT_FILETYPE        = WA_FILE-TYPE
            FILESIZE            = WA_FILE-SIZE
            CANCEL              = WA_FILE-CANCEL
       TABLES
            DATA_TAB            = I_TAB_OUT
*           FIELDNAMES          =
       EXCEPTIONS
            INVALID_FILESIZE    = 1
            INVALID_TABLE_WIDTH = 2
            INVALID_TYPE        = 3
            NO_BATCH            = 4
            UNKNOWN_ERROR       = 5
            OTHERS              = 6.

While passing parameters i am facing difficulty.

Now i am using GUI_DOWNLOAD fm .file name is mandatory.

Under the file name parameter what i had to pass.

And also in the import parameters they passed a lot.

But in the GUI_DOWNLOAD import parameter only FILELENGTH is there.

Regards

Jai

Replace function module with method

cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download

check documentation on the class as well as in the forum

Hi,

Please check the class cl_gui_frontend_services for all file related activities. You can find lots of demo programs for upload and download functionality.

The upload and download FM's will give a pop up for the user to select the file path. Whereas, in gui_* FM's you can directly pass the file path.

Nilesh.

Hi ,

The Function module which i posted in that they are not passing the file name as parameter.

But GUI_DOWNLOAD requires the file name as mandatory parameter.

In that case what i had to pass with respective to the parameter file name.

I need the parameters need to pass to GUI_DOWNLOAD with respective to the function module (DOWNLOAD) which i posted.

Hi Any clues from experts

Regards

Jai

Just a file name which you can identify. It is a required field in GUI_DOWNLOAD.

Where is it downloading using DOWNLOAD? and what is the file name? Just use the same file name.

Hello Jayanth,

This is because the FM: DOWNLOAD gives you a pop-up for file selection which is not available with GUI_DWONLOAD.

You can do this:


1. Use the FM: GUI_FILE_SAVE_DIALOG or the method CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_SAVE_DIALOG (whichever is OK for you).
2. Pass the selected filename to GUI_DOWNLOAD.

I am providing you the algo, for how-to-code SEARCH SDN !!!

Hello Nilesh,

If you check the OP's query his concern was the param FILENAME in DOWNLOAD is optional, but in GUI_DOWNLOAD it is not.

And no one seemed to address this

I wont call that spoon-feeding.
