Hi Priya,

These three function modules provide with one and the same functionality i.e. to download the internal table data to your Presentation Server ( your own system) in the form of flat file or excel sheet.

Just difference is that FM's Download and WS_Download are OBSOLETE in latest version ECC 6.0. In this version you can use GUI_DOWNLOAD instead if it.

Regards,

Vikas.

plz reward if helpful..

Hi,

Doenload and ws_download are the obsolete FM on ECC 6.0

Use GUI_DOWNLOAD on ECC 6.0

Hi Priya,

WS_UPLOAD and WS_DOWNLOAD, the function modules used until now are not part of the standard set of ABAP commands. They are used to display the file interface on the presentation server. WS_UPLOAD and WS_DOWNLOAD are not compatible with USs and have been replaced by GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD.

The new function modules, GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD, have an interface that also allows you to write Unicode format to the local hard drive. For a description of these interfaces, refer to the documentation for each function module, available under SAP Easy Access " Development " Function Builder " Goto " Documentation.

Instead of using the function modules, you can use the static methods GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD of the global class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES.

hope this helps u

Reward if its useful
