Method to download a file through browser

PankajVPatil — Fri, 22 Oct 2010 10:31:52 GMT

Hello,

What is the ABAP method to download a file on desktop when the control comes in from the browser window?

I have tried with "cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download" method but this does not work and gives unknown error exception.

Is there an alternate method to achieve the download functionality?

Best Regards,

Pankaj

Hi!

Are you using ABAP WebDynpro for that?

In a view's layout tab, there's a filedownload component, you might try out that one.

Hi Tamás,

No, I am using a WAD template and there is a button on the WAD report. When I click on button, the selection binding parameters are passed to my customised class through a planning function. Within the implementation of class method, I try to call the GUI_DOWNLOAD method, where it does not work.

Is there any alternative to this?

Best Regards,

Pankaj

Please ehave a look at CL_WD_RUNTIME_SERVICES=>ATTACH_FILE_TO_RESPONSE( )

Hi,

cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download is used if you are using SAP Gui, when in a browser (i.e. WebDynpro) you have to use CL_WD_RUNTIME_SERVICES=>attach_file_to_response.
