Hi Guru's

A custom program was created to get data from application server to presentation server. Its working fine in foreground but in background its not working. I used GUI_DOWNLOAD function module for downloading. Its throwing <b>unknown error(sy-subrc - 6).</b> Please help me in this. its very urgent.

Thanks,

Amal

You can not use the FM in background as the GUI will not be avaialable during a background process.

So you have to download it to the application server using the open dataset, transfer, close dataset statements.

And then you can download from application server to the presentation server using the tcode CG3Y.

Hi Amal,

<b>ALL</b> the FM which are used for file processing on presentation server will not work in background.

Hi Gopi and Atish,

Thanks for your help.

I understood tht we can't communicate with presentation server using *_DOWNLOAD function modules.

if needed we can do this by creating RFC destination and doing some setting in Desktop system.
