Does anyone know if SAP created a replacement FM voor WS_HR_DOWNLOAD?

Use GUI_DOWNLOAD or the DOWNLOAD Method of Class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES.

GUI_DOWNLOAD is not enough.

WS_HR_DOWNLOAD creates an DBF and a NAM file, plus some other actions. I could copy the version from a 4.6c system and create a Z* function module, but I'd prefer using something SAP standard.

Hello Arthur,

as Aryani Earla already mentioned, the class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES (method GUI_DOWNLOAD) is actually the suggested (by SAP) way of downloading files.

The few standard-FM's that I found using this class/method were designed for a specific task and not for general usage. In my opinion it would be faster to just write a Z-function module tailored for your needs instead of using and adapting one of these SAP function modules that cater for a different purpose.

Alternatively, have you tried searching the OSS / services market place for a replacement FM already?

I Think i will indeed create a Z version. I did look on the market place but didn't have any succes there.

Decided to make a Z version copy from a 4.6C system.

Hi Arthur,

We have the same problem, but our release now is 604, so the old source code of the FM WS_HR_DOWNLOAD is unavailable. Could you copy-paste it here? Or send me by mail (miguel.nunez@ngahr.com). It's very urgent.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Miguel,

Unfortunately I'm no longer working for the company where I needed this for so I can't provide you with the code.

Sorry
