Hi,

For downloading on server we use Open Dataset.

For example.

OPEN DATASET P_OUT1 FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE.

TRANSFER it_BUFFER TO P_OUT1.

CLOSE DATASET P_OUT1.

if u want to transfer it to the application server then u cant use this function module

u have to use

OPEN DATASET <filename> FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.

loop at <itab>.

TRANSFER <itab> TO <filename>.

endloop.

CLOSE DATASET <filename>

statements to transer the data into application server.

hi

if u want to download it to the application server u have to use the following statement

syntax. open dataset filename for output in text mode encoding default.

for knowing much about this write 'OPEN DATASET' press f1 u will get clear idea.

Hi Rani,

You cannot use the same function for downloading file to server. The FM doesnot provide this facitlity.

For downloading to server, you need to use

1. OPEN DATASET p_file_path FOR OUTPUT.

2. TRANSFER

3. CLOSE DATASET.

For more details refer to the SAP help.

Chetan.

PS:Reward points if this helps.

Hi,

The FM's GUI_UPLOAD, GUI_DOWNLOAD both are used to file to upload and download data from internal table to presentation server and viceversa.

The Tcodes CG3Y,CG3z both are used to file to upload and download data from Presentation server file to applciaiton server and viceversa.

If you want to acheive same use

OPEN DATASET

READ DATASET

CLOSE DATASET

Use above three statements to store data in application server file.
