Hi,

Functionality is the same, but WS_UPLOAD is obsolete, and it is recommended not to use it.

You can see this wordings in function module documentation of WS_UPLOAD.

U may use GUI_Upload instead.

Hi Prakash,

Both the Function module are used to upload the file data on to an internal table for the given file path. The only difference is WS_UPLOAD is an Obsolete FM from versions greater than 4.7E, where we got to use GUI_UPLOAD as an replacement.

GUI_UPLOAD is Unicode enabled , so it will be used and supported by sap for all its new developements.

Hi,

below information is helpful to u.

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 WS_UPLOAD and WS_DOWNLOAD are not compatible with , and have been replaced by GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD.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.

for each function module, available under SAP Easy Access " Development " Function Builder " Goto " Documentation.
