Not much, GUI_UPLOAD is the replacement for WS_UPLOAD(it is obselete) and i believe that the GUI_UPLOAD is unicode enabled. There is also a class method, CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>GUI_UPLOAD which you can use, it actually calls the function module GUI_UPLOAD underneath.

Are we passing the test?

hi sunil,

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 WS_UPLOAD and WS_DOWNLOAD are not compatible with USs and have been replaced by GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD.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. For a description of these interfaces, refer to the documentation for each function module, available under SAP Easy Access " Development " Function Builder " Goto " Documentation.

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.
