CONTROL_FLUSH_ERROR when using 'GUI_DOWNLOAD' Function Module in foreground

Former Member — Thu, 26 May 2016 12:12:36 GMT

Hello,

I am using function module 'GUI_DOWNLOAD' in foreground mode with APPEND = 'X' ( I need to add Header details to file ).

In most of the cases it works good but in some cases ( which I cannot isolate ) - I am getting CONTROL_FLUSH_ERROR exception. Do you have any ideas where can be the problem?

Thanks,

Balu B

Hi Balu,

Check out this thread

You will get "CONTROL_FLUSH_ERROR " error when there is some problem with SAP GUI. Check your Gui installation and if possible uninstall the exixting GUI and reinstall the new GUI from fresh.

or use

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download

EXPORTING

bin_filesize = l_xml_size

filename = 'c:tempflights.xml'

filetype = 'BIN'

CHANGING

data_tab = l_xml_table

EXCEPTIONS

OTHERS = 24.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno

WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.

ENDIF.

Thanks Osman Pasha, you are rt but for file type = ASC with field separator it is giving the error like 'Error in control frame work'..

As you mentioned it might be the SAP GUI issue..

Thanks,

Thanks Osman, As you said if i remove the Append = 'X' i am not getting the header details in the file .

Actually in my case i am using the FM GUI_Download for Header first and then using the same FM for data in that case i need to append both Header and data in the same file..

As i observed that the only way we can use FM (GUI_DOWNLOAD) for header and data without passing Append = 'x'.

Thanks,

Balu
