diff between gui_upload &? ws_upload

[Former Member]

can any one tell me what is the difference between gui_upload and ws_upload.

[JoffyJohn]

gui_upload function module loads a file from the PC to the server. Data can be transferred binarily or as text. Numbers and date fields can be interpreted according to the user settings.

Binary upload: No conversion or interpretation

begin of itab,

raw(255) type x,

end of itab occurs 0.

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'

exporting

filetype = 'BIN'

filename = 'C:\DOWNLOAD.BIN'

tables

data_tab = itab.

Text upload

begin of itab,

text(255) type c,

end of itab occurs 0.

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'

exporting

filetype = 'ASC'

filename = 'C:\DOWNLOAD.TXT'

tables

data_tab = itab.

WS_UPLOAD function module is now obsolete

ws_upload is used for

Transfer Presentation Server File to Internal Table

Uploads a file from the presentation server into an internal table.

Hi harish

WS_UPLOAD function module is now obsolete

from 4.7 ,gui_upload is used., this supports OOPs.

check this

WS_UPLOAD and WS_DOWNLOAD, the function modules used until now are not part of the standard set of ABAP commands. They are used to display the file interface on the presentation server. WS_UPLOAD and WS_DOWNLOAD are not compatible with USs and have been replaced by GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD.

The new function modules, GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD, have an interface that also allows you to write Unicode format to the local hard drive.

Instead of using the function modules, you can use the static methods GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD of the global class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES.

These classes are used to convert ABAP data from the system format to external formats and vice versa. During this conversion process, character-type data may be converted to another character set, while numeric-type data may be converted to another byte order (or endian format). You must use a container of type X or XSTRING for data in an external format.

Character sets and endian formats are also converted by the file interface (OPEN DATASET with new additions), RFCs, and the function modules GUI_DOWNLOAD and GUI_UPLOAD. The classes described below are available for those special cases where the possibilities offered by conversion are insufficient. Since these classes work with containers of types X and XSTRING, these containers can be copied unconverted by the file interface (OPEN DATASET with new additions), RFCs, and the function modules GUI_DOWNLOAD and GUI_UPLOAD. These classes replace the following two statements:

TRANSLATE c ...FROM CODE PAGE g1 ... TO CODE PAGE g2

TRANSLATE f ...FROM NUMBER FORMAT n1 ... TO NUMBER FORMAT n2

For a detailed description, see the class documentation in the Class Builder. The following classes are available:

CL_ABAP_CONV_IN_CE

Reads data from a container and converts it to the system format. You can also fill structures with data.

CL_ABAP_CONV_OUT_CE

Converts data from the system format to an external format and writes it to a container.

CL_ABAP_CONV_X2X_CE

Converts data from one external format to another.

These classes are used to convert ABAP data from the system format to external formats and vice versa.

CL_ABAP_CONV_X2X_CE

Converts data from one external format to another.
