difference between GUI_UPLOAD and WS_UPLOAD

[Former Member]

Hi,

Please make me clear about the difference between GUI_UPLOAD and WS_UPLOAD. In which cases we need to use these modules...??

Thanks,

Satish

I would suggest to always use the GUI_UPLOAD. I say this because this is the function module which is used in the GUI_UPLOAD method of the class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES. Really, you should probably use the class/method instead of the function module.

  data: filename type string.

  filename = p_file.


  call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload
         exporting
              filename                = filename
              filetype                = 'ASC'
         changing
              data_tab                = iflatf
         exceptions
              file_open_error         = 1
              file_read_error         = 2
              no_batch                = 3
              gui_refuse_filetransfer = 4
              no_authority            = 6
              unknown_error           = 7
              bad_data_format         = 8
              unknown_dp_error        = 12
              access_denied           = 13
              others                  = 17.

Hi Satish,

If I've understood right if you use version 4.7 and above you should use GUI_UPLOAD since WS_UPLOAD is considered obsolete.

hi satish,

WS_UPLOAD is obsolete as of 4.7 so GUI_UPLOAD is the next trend FM which will be used in continuance.

whenver there is an upgrade later then the WS_UPLOAD will have to be removed and replaced with GUI_UPLOAD.

so only try to use GUI_UPLOAD only.
