Hello Abhay,

Read from the file using READ DATASET and populate it into an internal table. Then use function module GUI_DOWNLOAD to download the internal table to the local PC.

Hi Manoj,

I cannot populate it to internal table... I have to transfer the file to using its file name to PC

If it is one time activity, why don't you use CG3Y transaction.

Hello Abhay,

Try to use the function module ARCHIVFILE_SERVER_TO_CLIENT and supply PATH as the application server path and TARGETPATH as the path on the PC.

hi,

u r now downloading to application using DATASET commands. for ur requirement u have to use GUI_DOWNLOAD or WS_DOWNLOAD for download to PC.

however while mentioning file path, u have to be careful as in UNIX we use forward slash '<b>/</b>' and not backward

ex. C:/test.txt

pls. reward if useful...
