Hi Ravi,

GUI_UPLOAD is a frontend Fm. You can't use for background.

Use OPEN DATASET for that.

Reward points if this helps.

No you cannot run this in background.

When you are running your report in background, it gets executed on application server and your file in on presentation server i. e. desktop. Hence it cannot run in background.

U can place your file on application server and then use open dataset and close dataset functionality to use that file in your report.

I hope it helps.

Best Regards,

HI Ravi,

GUI_UPLOAD cannot be executed in the background.

The only possible solution is to upload the file from the presentation server to the application server.

And from there you can read the file in the background using :

OPEN DATASET

READ DATASET

CLOSE DATASET...
