If your file has been saved to the frontend, use the following code.....



  CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES->EXECUTE
    EXPORTING
      DOCUMENT               = <the_file_path_HERE>
      MAXIMIZED              = 'X'
      SYNCHRONOUS            = 'X'
    EXCEPTIONS
      CNTL_ERROR             = 1
      ERROR_NO_GUI           = 2
      BAD_PARAMETER          = 3
      FILE_NOT_FOUND         = 4
      PATH_NOT_FOUND         = 5
      FILE_EXTENSION_UNKNOWN = 6
      ERROR_EXECUTE_FAILED   = 7
      OTHERS                 = 8.

Between step 2 & 3 save document to Frontend PC.

Then you can use the method mentioned by Rich.
