HOw to download a file in background without user intervention?

[Former Member]

Hello people,

A few hours ago I asked a couple of guys how to download a file to html. For that I am most thankful, and as mentioned this is a two part question, my other question is about how to proccess downloading the html in background and to automatically send it to a folder or other path. Without any user intervention.

Example, I run a long report to be downloaded in background. The lets say the next day, I can get the file in a folder. Thanks guys take care!

Hi,

Here is the sample code.

data: ifields type table of w3fields with header line.

data: ihtml type table of w3html with header line.

data itab type standard table of pa0001.

select * into corresponding fields of table itab

from pa0001 up to 100 rows.

call function 'WWW_ITAB_TO_HTML'

EXPORTING

• TABLE_ATTRIBUTES = 'BORDER=1'

• TABLE_HEADER =

ALL_FIELDS = 'X'

tables

html = ihtml

fields = ifields

• ROW_HEADER =

itable = itab

.

• Local variable Declaration

DATA l_msg(60) TYPE c.

• Opening the file for output in text mode

OPEN DATASET '/sapio/outbound/html.txt' FOR OUTPUT

IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT MESSAGE l_msg.

IF sy-subrc NE 0.

MESSAGE s000 WITH 'Error in opening file for output'.

LEAVE LIST-PROCESSING.

ENDIF.

LOOP AT ihtml .

TRANSFER ihtml TO '/sapio/outbound/html.txt'.

ENDLOOP.

• Closing the file

CLOSE DATASET '/sapio/outbound/html.txt'.

IF sy-subrc NE 0.

MESSAGE s000 with 'Error in closing file'.

LEAVE LIST-PROCESSING.

ENDIF.

Since you want to download in background,you cannot download in presentation server.SO you have to download in application server.

Kindly reward points if it helps.

HI,

Use

OPEN DATASET FOR OUPUT

&

CLOSE DATASET

here is the sample code for the same

OPEN DATASET P_PATH FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
MESSAGE E039(ZK) WITH
'ƒ_ƒEƒ“ƒ[ƒh‚ŃGƒ‰[‚ª”­¶‚µ‚Ü‚µ‚½B'.
ENDIF.

LOOP AT PR_TBL.

PERFORM ZYIR070_TRANSFER_DATASET USING 'C'
P_PATH
PR_TBL SY-INDEX.

ENDLOOP.

CLOSE DATASET P_PATH.

Regards,

Santosh
