hi all!!!!

there is one small reqmnt pls have a look......

I am using FM GUI_DOWNLOAD to download the contents of my internal table on PC file....

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'

EXPORTING

filename = l_f_fname

filetype = 'ASC'

write_field_separator = l_f_fseprt

• IMPORTING

• FILELENGTH =

TABLES

data_tab = g_t_sales[]

in the internal table there are 25 fields , in my program i am filling data onli upto 10 fields, rest of the fields have no data and fields being all character type..

through this FM i want the file which will be downloaded should be of length 900 characters, is there any parameters which will restrict length of my file upto 900 characters.

upto 25 fields in internal table length is 900 characters

means i want file length corresponding to my internal table length...

quick reply will be very helpful....

thanks in advance...

Hi praveen,

1. I don't think we can

control the Length of the file.

2. Before writing to file,

we can only control the

length / size of the internal table,

by accessing the number of records in it.

Hi again,

1. Its only for BINARY Files.

2. BCOS

3. Binary file have a special character

EOF

at the end of the file,

as the last character.

4. We cannot use this parameter

for text files.

Hi Praveen,

The export parameter File_length will return the size of the file created.

U unfortunately dont have any import parameter to control the size of the file.

If file size is of that importance for u, u shall have to use trail n error method n reduce or increase of ur internal table.

Regards,

Tanveer.
