hI,

you cannot use GUI_DOWNLOAD in background. for that you have to use DATASETS

Hi,

You need to understand that when u execute something in the background the frontend is not available .

so obviously the frontend functions will not work as Presentation server is not accessable.

Hope you have understood y these functions dont work..

to download files in background u need to use the application server ...

since Presentation server is not accessable

Kindly be generous with points

Hi Again Sandhip,

OPEN DATASET p_file2 FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.

IF sy-subrc NE 0.

MESSAGE text-015 TYPE 'E'.

ENDIF.

LOOP AT it_main1 INTO x_main1.

TRANSFER x_main1 TO p_file2.

ENDLOOP.

CLOSE DATASET p_file2.

Here <b>p_file2</b> is a parameter where we pass the path of the file. And it puts the file on to the application server.

<b>it_main1 is an internal table</b>.

To get data on to the desktop use GUI_DOWNLOAD.

Reward Points.

Thanks,

Tej..
