GUI_UPLOAD

[Former Member]

I wanna use this Function Module in my program, but when I put 'DAT' in the parameter field 'FILETYPE', it gives me a message 'Wrong Parameter for FILETYPE'...I checked the long text of 'FILETYPE', it said that 'ASC' 'DAT' 'BIN' are available for this parameter...

who can tell me why? thx

Hi,

The GUI_DOWNLOAD will accept only BIN or ASC as the file type..Try using the fm WS_DOWNLOAD..THis will accept DAT..But this FM is obselete..

• filetype parameter valid ?

CASE filetype.

WHEN 'BIN' OR 'ASC'.

WHEN OTHERS.

RAISE INVALID_TYPE.

ENDCASE.

THanks,

Dear Lupin

Please check the below code for some idea:

data: fname type string value 'C:test'.


CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
  EXPORTING

Guess you might be giving some file extension and giving filetype as DAT and that might be throwing an error. Please check.

Hi Lupin

You need to type ASC FOR TXT FILE NAME

DAT FOR EXCEL FILE.

I guess this should solve your problem.

Thanks

give ASC if its text file ...give DBF if its excel file

hi

good

Retrieve data file from presentation server(Upload from PC)

DATA: i_file like rlgrap-filename value '/usr/sap/tmp/file.txt'.

DATA: begin of it_datatab occurs 0,

row(500) type c,

end of it_datatab.

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'

EXPORTING

filename = i_file

filetype = 'ASC'

TABLES

data_tab = it_datatab "ITBL_IN_RECORD[]

EXCEPTIONS

file_open_error = 1

OTHERS = 2.

use like this i hope you might not have given any gap between = and 'dat', check that also.

thanks
