Hello,

WS_DOWNLOAD will not work in background jobs. If you want to fownload something in Background, use OPEN DATASET

Hope this helps.

ws_download download using the url of the machine. These FM's work only in frontend.

In teh background mode the FM cannot read the URL, so cannot identify the path in the machine.

You cannot use these GUI FM's.

If you are downloading from application server you can use open dataset statement.
