File Upload and Download from presentation Server:

You can use FMS GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD.

http://www.sapdevelopment.co.uk/file/file_updown.htm

But above FMs do not work in Background mode. Hence for File Upload and Download need to be handled uisng DATASET functions.

I hope it helps.

hi,

when the flat files are present on the presentation server the data is uploaded by using some function modules like gui_upload for text files TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP for xls files .

for uploading the flat files present on from appilication server

some syntaxes like open dataset, read dataset and close dataset are used.

we can transfer the flat file present on the presentation server

to appilication server using the tcode CG3Z

for example:

types: begin of ty_mara,

declare some fileds

end of ty_mara.

data: t_mara type table of ty_mara,

w_mara type ty_mara,

i_bdcdata type table of i_bdcdata,

w_bdcdata type i_bdcdata.

SELECTION-SCREEN: BEGIN OF BLOCK B1 WITH FRAME TITLE TEXT-001.

PARAMETERS : P_SRFILE type ibipparms-path.

SELECTION-SCREEN : END OF BLOCK B1.

at selection-screen on value-request for p_srfile.

perform get_file using p_srfile.

perform dataset using p_srfile.

populate the bdcdata

after populating the data use either call transaction or session method to update the data to the database.

FORM get_file USING P_P_SRFILE type ibipparms-path.

CALL FUNCTION 'F4_DXFILENAME_TOPRECURSION'

EXPORTING

I_LOCATION_FLAG = 'A'

• I_SERVER = '?'

I_PATH = SEARCH_DIR

FILEMASK = C_FNH_MASK

FILEOPERATION = 'R'

IMPORTING

• O_LOCATION_FLAG =

• O_SERVER =

O_PATH = file_path

• ABEND_FLAG =

EXCEPTIONS

RFC_ERROR = 1

ERROR_WITH_GUI = 2

OTHERS = 3

.

IF SY-SUBRC eq 0.

p_p_srfile = file_path.

endif.

ENDFORM. " get_file

FORM dataset USING P_P_SRFILE type ibipparms-path.

OPEN DATASET FILE_PATH IN TEXT MODE FOR INPUT ENCODING DEFAULT.

DO.

READ DATASET FILE_PATH INTO w_mara.

IF SY-SUBRC NE 0.

EXIT.

ENDIF.

APPEND w_maraTO t_mara.

ENDDO.

CLOSE DATASET FILE_PATH.

thanks and rewards
