GUI_DOWNLOAD: 0 Bytes transferred, Codepage 1160

[Former Member]

Hello Experts

I'm learn ABAP and I have a small problem after using GUI_DOWNLOAD.

I try to download the internal table in a xls file. The file has been created but the is no content. I get a error message 0 bytes transfered, codepage 1160.

Here my code:

FORM DOWNLOAD_ITAB04 .

CHECK dbdlml IS NOT INITIAL.

lokale_datei = lokdatei.

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'

EXPORTING

• BIN_FILESIZE =

FILENAME = lokale_datei

FILETYPE = 'ASC'

APPEND = ' '

WRITE_FIELD_SEPARATOR = 'X'

• HEADER = '00'

(...)

• IMPORTING

• FILELENGTH =

TABLES

DATA_TAB = itab04

• FIELDNAMES =

EXCEPTIONS

FILE_WRITE_ERROR = 1

(...)

OTHERS = 22.

Where I should look for the solution?

Many thanks

Krzysztof

Only pass thes parameters(Required)

1)

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
    EXPORTING
      filename                = lw_filename                 " Check file
    WRITE_FIELD_SEPARATOR = 'X'
    TABLES
      data_tab                = lt_itab

2 ) Check the target field name.

3) Use class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_EXIST to check the existance of file

Hi.

see this and compare ur code

form upload_file.

data : lv_file type string.

if not ( p_filep is initial ).

lv_file = p_filep.

call function 'GUI_UPLOAD'

exporting

filename = lv_file

filetype = 'ASC'

has_field_separator = 'X'

importing

filelength = lv_fsize

tables

data_tab = lt_upload.

if sy-subrc = 0.

message s398(00) with 'Document imported successfully' lv_fname

lv_ftype lv_fsize ."#EC NOTEXT

elseif sy-subrc = 4.

message text-116 type 'W'..

set screen 0.

leave screen.

endif.

endif.

Hi,

You can use the function module:

CALL FUNCTION 'WS_DOWNLOAD'

EXPORTING

filename = 'd:\cps_data1.xls'

filetype = 'DAT'

mode = 'A'

TABLES

data_tab = intab

EXCEPTIONS

file_open_error = 1

file_write_error = 2

invalid_filesize = 3

invalid_type = 4

no_batch = 5

unknown_error = 6

invalid_table_width = 7

gui_refuse_filetransfer = 8

customer_error = 9

no_authority = 10

OTHERS = 11

.

IF sy-subrc 0.

MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno

WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.

ENDIF.

here intab is your internal table name.

Try this. it will help.

Hi Dhirendra,

In ECC 6.0, WS_DOWNLOAD is obsolete FM. Its not suggestable for ECC.

For WS_DOWNLOAD replacement FM is GUI_DOWNLOAD.

Hi,

use the FM like this...

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
   EXPORTING
     FILENAME = FNAME
     FILETYPE = 'DAT'             "<----Give DAT
     WRITE_FIELD_SEPARATOR = 'X'
  TABLES
     DATA_TAB = GI_FINAL[]
     FIELDNAMES = FIELDNAMES[]            "<-----For Header
     .

Although the post is very old, still replying to it.

Your internal table does not have any data, that is why you are getting this message. This is a success message not a failure.

Check your internal table for the missing data.

thanks
