Hi,

GUI_DOWNLOAD FM is not supported in forground.

Better you use OPEN DATASET... and write the data in Application server.

Or if you are generating a List then it will create Spool when executed in Background. Which you can download later from SP01.

Reward points if this Helps.

Hi Sriman,

The FM GUI_DOWNLAOD will not work in background mode, as it has to download to the local PC, but when run in background it is being run on the APP server and thus loses the link with the Desktop, so it does not know what desktop to download the file to and hits an error which is why the program will dump.

Better to use the open dataset commands if running in background as this will download the file to the server, where the code is being run, you can easily FTP the file back on to the desktop if need be.

Hi,

Please go through the following link for implementing download of a file in background. GUI_DOWNLOAD cannot be used for background process.
