Q] Please see this link

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/fc/eb3d83358411d1829f0000e829fbfe/content.htm

FILENAME = 'd:\temp\saptest.xls' this is what we are exporting but it has been said to be

FILENAME Filename (default value for user dialog)

Then what does “ default value for user dialog” means exactly?

Hi abaper learner,

at first a comment: you are going to use function module DOWNLOAD that use the function module WS_DOWNLOAD.

Both function moduls are obsolete. Its much more better to use the methods of the class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES. You can avoid trouble in a higher SAP release with a Unicode environment.

To your question: When you call the Fucntionmodul without the parameter FILENAME, the function modul use a default path form the user. You can see the default value by calling the functionmodul WS_ULDL_PATH. (this function modul is also use by the function modul DOWNLOAD).

Kindly regards,

Stefan
