how to create file manually..?

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Is there any function module to create the file?

My requirement is to upload the data into the file running u2018GUI_DOWNLOADu2019 function module, but that file should not be created manually, it should automatically create through the program, any help plsu2026?

Hi Puppy,

GUI_DOWNLOAD itself takes care of cratiing file Automatically on Local drive.

For Example in below code file will be created with name l_file1 with contents of table t_tab.

  CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
    EXPORTING
*   BIN_FILESIZE                    =
      filename                        = l_file1
      filetype                        = 'TXT'
*   APPEND                          = ' '
      write_field_separator           = 'X'
    TABLES
      data_tab                        = t_tab
      fieldnames                      = t_headers.

It might be Fully Qualified Windows path Like C:\Folder\Filename.txt.

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'

EXPORTING

filename = v_file

data_tab = it_final

EXCEPTIONS

file_write_error = 1

no_batch = 2

header_not_allowed = 7

separator_not_allowed = 8

filesize_not_allowed = 9
