Hi Arun,

GUI_UPLOAD FM can only be used in online mode. In background mode this FM fail because of the system tries to access to the local system (PC) and it is not accesible.

You can read the file using the following sentences:

1.- open dataset (filename)

2.-

do.

read dataset (filename) into (structure).

if sy-subrc = 0.

append (structure) to (table)

else.

exit. "End of file.

3.- close dataset (filename).

The file must be in the aplication server.

Regards,

Pepe

Try to use the sentences OPEN DATASET / READ DATASET / CLOSE DATASET instead of GUI_UPLOAD.

The result is the same, an internal table with the file content.

open dataset '/dir/aa.txt' in text mode encoding default. "Or binary mode

if sy-subrc = 0.

do.

read dataset '/dir/aa.txt' into w_structure.

if sy-subrc = 0.

append w_structure to w_table.

else.

exit.

endif.

enddo.

close dataset '/dir/aa.txt' .

endif.

In table w_table you have the file content, as with GUI_UPLOAD FM.

Differences between both, GUI_UPLOAD read file for local server (PC) and DATASET read file from aplication server (SAP SERVER). If you call the FM from another system, the program can't acces to the local PC.

Hi Arun,

Please use FM 'WS_UPLOAD' .

eg: PARAMETERS: F_FILE LIKE RLGRAP-FILENAME.

PERFORM UPLOAD_FILE.

CALL FUNCTION 'WS_UPLOAD'
    EXPORTING
      FILENAME                = F_FILE
      FILETYPE                = 'DAT'
    TABLES
      DATA_TAB                = INT_MAT
    EXCEPTIONS
      FILE_OPEN_ERROR         = 1
      FILE_WRITE_ERROR        = 2
      INVALID_FILESIZE        = 3
      INVALID_TYPE            = 4
      NO_BATCH                = 5
      UNKNOWN_ERROR           = 6
      INVALID_TABLE_WIDTH     = 7
      GUI_REFUSE_FILETRANSFER = 8
      CUSTOMER_ERROR          = 9
      OTHERS                  = 10.

  IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
    FORMAT COLOR COL_GROUP.
    WRITE:/ 'Data Upload Successfully from your local harddisk'.
    SKIP.
  ENDIF.

Hi,

The uploading File can be of any type like ppt,doc,etc...).

GUI_UPLOAD can not upload .doc or .PPT files. For these file you can use OLE You can save the file as .txt and try it.
