I have a text file in which records are space seperated.I will be entering the file name in selection screen in a parameter 'infile1' and I am trying to upload these records into a internal table using function module GUI_UPLOAD.but i get a message saying that the filename given has a different field type .function module allows you to specify only fields of particualar type under filename. my code is.

data: begin of period_rec,

pval01(3), "version

pval04(4), " fiscal year

pval06(10), " cost centre

pval12(10), " cost element

bdc0301(15), " fixed cost period 01

bdc0302(15), " fixed cost period 02

bdc0303(15), " fixed cost period 03

bdc0304(15), " fixed cost period 04

bdc0305(15), " fixed cost period 05

bdc0306(15), " fixed cost period 06

bdc0307(15), " fixed cost period 07

bdc0308(15), " fixed cost period 08

bdc0309(15), " fixed cost period 09

bdc0310(15), " fixed cost period 10

bdc0311(15), " fixed cost period 11

bdc0312(15), " fixed cost period 12

end of period_rec.

parameters : infile1 like rlgrap-filename.

data: tab like period_rec occurs 10 with header line.

call function 'GUI_UPLOAD'

exporting

filename = infile2

FILETYPE = 'ASC'

tables

data_tab = tab

• EXCEPTIONS

if sy-subrc <> 0.

endif.

Hi,

the infile2 should be declared as type STRING.

Hi KURUVELLA ,

DATA:file1 type STRING.

file1 = infile1.

call function 'GUI_UPLOAD'

exporting

filename = file1

FILETYPE = 'ASC'

tables

data_tab = tab

• EXCEPTIONS

if sy-subrc <> 0.

endif.

why because GUI_upload accepts only string type of var for parameter Filename in exporting.

hope this solves ur problem.

Thanks
