hi Dinesh .. Better use <b>GUI_DOWNLOAD</b> FM instead of WS_DOWNLOAD

Check out this thread for usage of GUI_DOWNLOAD FM

Hi Dinesh

Try the following code.

DATA : lc_filename TYPE string.

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'

EXPORTING

BIN_FILESIZE =
WRITE_FIELD_SEPARATOR = ' '

filename = lc_filename

filetype = 'DAT'

TABLES

data_tab = gt_itab.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

Hi Dinesh,

Upto R/3 version 4.6c WS_UPLOAD is recommended.

Higher than 4.6c like 4.7, 5.0 GUI_UPLOAD is recommended.

Thanks,

Rani.
