Problem generating file with Gui_download.

[Former Member]

Hi experts, I´d appreciate your help.

It seems that depending of the length of the parameter passed to destXXXXX the FM generates the file or not.

If destXXXXX = u2018C: emp’ The file is generated OK

If destXXXXX = u2018C:Documents and SettingsakramerEscritoriou2019 the file is not generated!!

Why is this happening??

************************************************

DATA: destXXXXX TYPE STRING.

CONCATENATE p_file 'B1146.DBF' INTO destXXXXX.

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'

EXPORTING

FILENAME = destXXXXX

FILETYPE = 'DBF'

TABLES

DATA_TAB = dbf_1146

FIELDNAMES = i_fieldnames_1146.

Check the size of destXXX.

For better, change the type to STRING. This will allow you to have any length of your file path.

Thanks,

Hi rob, there´s no error message, just that the file is not created if the length of the string is too long.

Hello Andres

No. The difference is the absence or presence of the final backslash:

CONCATENATE p_file 'B1146.DBF' INTO destXXXXX. " Results in:

p_file = 'C:\temp\B1146.DBF'.           " Or.
p_file = 'C:\Documents and Settings\akramer\EscritorioB1146.DBF'.

Assuming that "Escritorio" is a directory you should search you file in the parent directory "akramer".

PS: For local download you should use the methods of class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES (Unicode-compatible).

If destXXXXX = u2018C:\Documents and Settings\akramer\Escritoriou2019 " see '\' is missing here 
************************************************
DATA: destXXXXX TYPE STRING.

CONCATENATE p_file 'B1146.DBF' INTO destXXXXX. " after concat the string becomes C:\Documents and Settings\akramer\EscritorioB1146.DBF ====> no '\' between Escritorio and B1146

so your files name would be EscritorioB1146.DBF in folder u2018C:\Documents and Settings\akramer'

check that
