Downloading file from application server in Binary mode

Former Member — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 06:49:23 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to read an application server file using open dataset in Binary Mode..

While downloading using gui_download method the file is getting truncated because of its size.

My questions are,

How to increase the size of the internal table dynamically. Already tried using STRING type but it is not accepting.

If I use the CHAR type with maximum length 65535 and if the length of the file is less than that then in the remaining spaces box like symbols are printed .

How can I achieve it.

Thanks & Regards,
