GUI Upload

[Former Member]

I'm running R/3 Enterprise (4.7).

I have an ABAP program that I changed to invoke function GUI_UPLOAD.But, it crashes if I use a variable to determine the FILENAME location.If I don't use the variable PATH the function works fine. That is, if Isay FILENAME = 'C:\MYFILE.TXT' for example, the program works OK.

Everything works fine in 4.5B where I am using WS_UPLOAD.

Any ideas what the problem might be?

Here is the code I have:

• parameter PATH

PATH LIKE RLGRAP-UIFILENAME DEFAULT 'C:\temp\testupload.txt'.

....

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'

EXPORTING

FILENAME = PATH

FILETYPE = 'ASC'

HAS_FIELD_SEPARATOR = 'X'

HEADER_LENGTH = 0

TABLES

DATA_TAB = ITAB

EXCEPTIONS

FILE_OPEN_ERROR = 1

FILE_READ_ERROR = 2

NO_BATCH = 3

GUI_REFUSE_FILETRANSFER = 4

INVALID_TYPE = 5

NO_AUTHORITY = 6

UNKNOWN_ERROR = 7

BAD_DATA_FORMAT = 8

HEADER_NOT_ALLOWED = 9

SEPARATOR_NOT_ALLOWED = 10

HEADER_TOO_LONG = 11

UNKNOWN_DP_ERROR = 12

ACCESS_DENIED = 13

DP_OUT_OF_MEMORY = 14

DISK_FULL = 15

DP_TIMEOUT = 16

OTHERS = 17.

The old code in 4.5B looks like this:

\* CALL FUNCTION 'WS_UPLOAD'

*\ EXPORTING

\ CODEPAGE = ' '

*\ FILENAME = PATH

*\ FILETYPE = 'DAT'

\ HEADLEN = ' '

\ LINE_EXIT = ' '

\ TRUNCLEN = ' '

\ USER_FORM = ' '

\ USER_PROG = ' '

\ IMPORTING

\ FILELENGTH =

*\ TABLES

*\ DATA_TAB = ITAB

*\ EXCEPTIONS

*\ CONVERSION_ERROR = 1

*\ FILE_OPEN_ERROR = 2

*\ FILE_READ_ERROR = 3

*\ INVALID_TABLE_WIDTH = 4

*\ INVALID_TYPE = 5

*\ NO_BATCH = 6

*\ UNKNOWN_ERROR = 7

*\ GUI_REFUSE_FILETRANSFER = 8

*\ OTHERS = 9.

Hello Neelam,

I am guessing that the crash is a result of a type mismatch.

Try passing a variable of type string to GUI_UPLOAD for the FILENAME>

FILENAME must be a STRING...You can check GUI_UPLOAD on SE37...Under IMPORT tab you can see the type of the parameters.

Hi,

Please refer the code below:

PARAMETERS : p_file LIKE rlgrap-filename OBLIGATORY.

data : begin of itab1 occurs 0,
        values(1000) type c,
       end of itab1.


AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR p_file.
  CLEAR p_file.

  CALL FUNCTION 'F4_FILENAME'
    IMPORTING
      file_name = p_file.

start-of-selection.

  filename = p_file.

  CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
    EXPORTING
     FILENAME                      = filename
     FILETYPE                      = 'ASC'
     HAS_FIELD_SEPARATOR           = 'X'
    TABLES
      DATA_TAB                      = itab1
            .

Thanks,

Sriram Ponna.
