You cannot upload from the PC in background mode. You can upload from the application server in background using OPEN DATSET, READ DATASET, TRANSFER DATASET.

Hi,

The only way to upload into background is to use dataset stmt.

OPEN DATASET FNAME FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE.

DO.

READ DATASET FNAME INTO TEXT2 LENGTH LENG.

WRITE: / SY-SUBRC, TEXT2, LENG.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

EXIT.

ENDIF.

ENDDO.

CLOSE DATASET FNAME.

Gui functions don't work in background.

Dataset is limited to the application server, or to any other share where the SAPService account has authorization.

Hi,

I explained that Gui functions cannot be executed in background. FM 'ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE' uses SAP gui controls and I suppose that it cannot be executed in background.
