Hi,

Use GUI_DOWNLOAD instead of download in ECC6.0

GUI_DOWNLOAD

Data transfer of an internal table form the server to a file on the PC.

The Gui_Download module replaces the obsolete modules Ws_Download and Download. The file dialog of the download module is available in the class Cl_Gui_Frontend_Services.

Hi,

DOWNLOAD is obsolete FM in ECC 6. To get the same functionality , we need to use

CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_SAVE_DIALOG method (It provides the File selection feature)

and

GUI_DOWNLOAD function module.(It downloads the internal table from program to presentation server)

Please see the example below:

Example:

*CALL FUNCTION 'DOWNLOAD'

• EXPORTING

• FILENAME = p_filename

• FILETYPE = ‘DAT’

• TABLES

• DATA_TAB = T_DOWNL

• EXCEPTIONS

• INVALID_FILESIZE = 1

• INVALID_TABLE_WIDTH = 2

• INVALID_TYPE = 3

• NO_BATCH = 4

• UNKNOWN_ERROR = 5

• OTHERS = 6.

*End of deletion CH01-

Replacement Method for above code:

DATA: l_filename TYPE string,

l_filen TYPE string,

l_path TYPE string,

l_fullpath TYPE string,

l_usr_act TYPE I.

l_filename = P_filename.

CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_SAVE_DIALOG

EXPORTING

DEFAULT_FILE_NAME = l_filename

CHANGING

FILENAME = l_filen

PATH = l_path

FULLPATH = l_fullpath

USER_ACTION = l_usr_act

EXCEPTIONS

CNTL_ERROR = 1

ERROR_NO_GUI = 2

NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_GUI = 3

others = 4.

IF sy-subrc = 0

AND l_usr_act <>

CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>ACTION_CANCEL.

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'

EXPORTING

FILENAME = l_fullpath

FILETYPE = 'DAT'

TABLES

DATA_TAB = T_DOWNL

EXCEPTIONS

FILE_WRITE_ERROR = 1

NO_BATCH = 2

GUI_REFUSE_FILETRANSFER = 3

INVALID_TYPE = 4

NO_AUTHORITY = 5

UNKNOWN_ERROR = 6

HEADER_NOT_ALLOWED = 7

SEPARATOR_NOT_ALLOWED = 8

FILESIZE_NOT_ALLOWED = 9

HEADER_TOO_LONG = 10

DP_ERROR_CREATE = 11

DP_ERROR_SEND = 12

DP_ERROR_WRITE = 13

UNKNOWN_DP_ERROR = 14

ACCESS_DENIED = 15

DP_OUT_OF_MEMORY = 16

DISK_FULL = 17

DP_TIMEOUT = 18

FILE_NOT_FOUND = 19

DATAPROVIDER_EXCEPTION = 20

CONTROL_FLUSH_ERROR = 21

OTHERS = 22.

hi

good

they have changed the download function module from WS_DOWNLOAD to GUI_DOWNLOAD in ECC6.0 so you can very well use that.

thanks
