Calling GUI_DOWNLOAD Function

[Former Member]

i would like to store my internal table into my local disk , there are two functions GUI_DOWNLOAD and WS_DOWNLOAD.

how do i call these functions.

if i want to specify the file name in my selection screen what should be the data type of the file name.

when i call the function GUI_DOWNLOAD , there is an error saying mismatch of datatype of filename.

Dear Arun,

You can call that functions from from "PATTERN' or, by CTRL+F6.If you want to specify the perticular filename you can declare like this --> data : path(30) type c.

The error for the GUI_DOWNLOAD function is coming for the mismatch of the path type you have declared in your coding.

Enjoy ABAP.

Dear Rajarshi,

I gave the file name as a paramater with type c length 30 , but it is still showing the same error

The message is given below --

'The function Module interface allows you to specify only fields of a particular type under"FILENAME". The field PATH specified here has a different field type'

Please do suggest some solution.

The function GUI_DOWNLOAD expects filename parameter as

STRING datatype.So declare a local variable of type string.Assign the parameter for filename got from selection screen to the local variable.use local variable

in the function.
