Using FM GUI_DOWNLOAD

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have developed a custom report which outputs an excel file on the user desktop who executes that report.Now i need to create an additional (second) excel file with almost the same data as the first file.

Im using the FM GUI_DOWNLOAD to create the file.Now if i call the FM twice ,will it create the second file or overwrite the existing one.The file path is same for both files.

So long as the filename is different in both cases, you should have no problem.

Hi,

If second file name is same as first file name it will over write other wise it will create a new one

if you want to ask confirmation for over writing you can pass 'X' to confirm_overwrite for GUI_DOWNLOAD

Hi,

The file name means the parameter FILENAME rt?As i said,Im passing the file path is the same,but if i give diffrent file names e.g. C:\Pcard\Output1 and C:\Pcard\Output2 then 2 different files can be downloaded rt?

Yes.

Hi,

As said previously, you should name it diferently in order not to overwrite the previous. Your FILENAME consists of the path + name of the file.
