HI.......TO EVERYBODY....

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WS_UPLOAD AND GUI_UPLOAD?

WHY WE CANT USE WS_UPLOAD IN 4.7EE?

[Former Member]

HI,

As the versions change so does SAP gives you the encanced functionality to the existing Function modules.... Both Does the same thing....

I think the main difference is that GUI_UPLOAD is unicode compliant and WS_UPLOAD is not

GUI_UPLOAD is the improved version of ws_upload. There are many more importing parameters in GUI_UPLOAD when compared to ws_upload.

It is also recommended that you should use GUI_UPLOAD instead of ws_upload.

Reward if helpful.

Use GUI_UPLOAD from 4.7 Version and WS_UPLOAD is should not use since it will not suit for Unicode environment.

GUI_UPLOAD contains delimiter but ws_upload does not contain

you want read by line by line then gui_upload will have that feature..

WS_UPLOAD is obsolete as of 4.7 so GUI_UPLOAD is the next trend FM which will be used in continuance.

Whenever there is an upgrade later then the WS_UPLOAD will have to be removed and replaced with GUI_UPLOAD.

So only try to use GUI_UPLOAD only.

Hi Nagesh,

The FM 'WS_UPLOAD' has become obselete and the new FM 'GUI_UPLOAD' has been released with additional funtionality. In later versions this WS_UPLOAD will some times may be removed so its recommended to use the latest one i.e, GUI_UPLOAD which has more functionality like parameter FILENAME in WS UPLOAD is of Character type of length 128 but in the latest one i.e, in GUIUPLOAD its String where its length is more than the previous....and so on.

Check the parameters while passing.

You can see the difference how i have passed the parameters.
