Please advise.

Background processing does not support Presentation file download. When you run program in background, you can download file using WS_DOWNLOAD any similar funciton modules. That is the reason program is giving a short dump.

No any presentation server file download function module is not supported for background processing. If you use any of these function modules, you CAN NOT run your program in background.

You cannot download to your desktop in background. When you execute in the background, the execution actually happens on the server end and your server will not know your desktop location at that time. That is why it dumps. If your local directory structure is mounted on the application server, only in such cases, it treats the desktop locations similar to application server location. But even in those cases, you cannot use WS_DOWNLOAD or GUI_DOWNLOAD etc. You have to create a file on the application server using OPEN DATASET, TRANSFER, and CLOSE DATASET commands.
