WHEN USING GUI_DOWNLOAD.

HI,
I am bit confused about this GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD.
pls let me know when we want the data in *.txt format in the desktop from the table (like MARA)....which function we use....and when placing in to presentation server which function we use.
thanks.

Hi
GUI_DOWNLOAD is to download a file from SAP to Presentation Server.
GUI_UPLOAD is to upload a file from Presentation Server to SAP.
So if you need to transfer the data from SAP table to a file in your desktop you have to use GUI_DOWNLOAD:
DATA: BEGIN OF T_MARA OCCURS 0,
  MATNR TYPE MATNR,
END OF T_MARA.
SELECT MATNR FROM MARA INTO T_MARA WHERE ....
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
   EXPORTING
        filename         = <path>
        filetype         = 'ASC'
   TABLES
        data_tab         = t_mara
   EXCEPTIONS
        file_open_error  = 1
        file_write_error = 2
        OTHERS           = 3.

  • Need to avoid header When using GUI_DOWNLOAD with file type "DBF"

    Hi ,
    I am downloading internal table to excel on the desktop using GUI_DOWNLOAD with file type "DBF".
    Internal table I use do not have any header.
    But I do see the header in the downloaded file.
    It displays 1 row as " F1  F2 F3..ETC" heading for each column.
    Is there any variable we need to set to suppress header.
    Thank you,
    Kumar

    Hello Dilip,
    I tried using GUI_DOWNLOAD with FILE TYPE as "DBF", and i see the problem as mentioned. My question to you is:
    1. Why do you need 'DBF' format?
    2. Is it required to save the file as '.CSV'? Can you not try to save in '.XLS' file?
    Plz revert back.

  • CONTROL_FLUSH_ERROR when using 'GUI_DOWNLOAD' Function Module in foreground

    Hi,
    I am using function module 'GUI_DOWNLOAD' in foreground mode with APPEND = 'X' ( I need to add infomration to file ).
    In most of the cases it works good but in some cases ( which I cannot isolate ) - I am getting CONTROL_FLUSH_ERROR exception. Do you have any ideas where can be the problem?
    Thanks in advance,
    Anna

    You will get "CONTROL_FLUSH_ERROR " error when there is some problem with SAP GUI. Check your Gui installation and if possible uninstall the exixting GUI and reinstall the new GUI from fresh.
    or you can use the below code
    CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download
                          EXPORTING          bin_filesize = l_xml_size     
                                             filename     = 'c:tempflights.xml'

    Hi,
    You may try passing REFERENCE TABLE & REFERNCE FIELD in the FIELDCATALOG of ALV, if its an ALV output.
    Export to LOCAL file of ALV will then provide an excel file with proper alignment.

  • Is there anything to be taken care of while using GUI_DOWNLOAD in ITS?

    Hi All,
             I have a requirement on which I am using GUI_DOWNLOAD for downloading a file into a network Drive.In the foreground I am executing using ITS.When I click on 'SUBMIT' button it goes to "Interpreter failed ...Internal error code: 0x2101".Till the point of GUI_DOWNLOAD its working fine.When I am executing from SAP system,its working fine.Once I execute from browser only problem comes.Have anybody faced a similiar situation and if so please help me.
    Thanks in Advance,
       Anjaly

    Hi Anjaly,
    this means that the template could not be found. I assume you are using the ITS 620, in the integrated ITS this error would result in an ABAP runtime error.
    Ok, how to solve? Please examine the ITS trace files especially that one for the Bussiness HTML interpreter. Its is Agate<N>_sapjulep.trc.

  • Headings not downloaded using GUI_DOWNLOAD, used DBF as a file type

    Hello,
                 I have used the function module to download the data into an excel file using GUI_DOWNLOAD FM.
    I have given the file type as 'DBF', because if I give DAT type then the data for the amount not downloading properly.
    and preceeding zero's are not dowloaded properly. Hence used DBF.
    But when I use DBF file type , the header texts are not downloaded properly.
    CALL FUNCTION GUI_DOWNLOAD
        EXPORTING
          filename                       = lw_file
         filetype                        = DBF
       TABLES
          data_tab                      = t_output
        fieldnames                      = t_head
    fill the header texts for all the fields
    TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_head,
                   name(24),
      END OF ty_head.
    data:  wa_head TYPE ty_head,
           t_output TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_output,
    wa_head-name = text-t01.
      condense wa_head-name.
      APPEND wa_head TO t_head.
        CLEAR wa_head.
      wa_head-name = text-t02.
      APPEND wa_head TO t_head.
      CLEAR wa_head.
      wa_head-name = text-t03.
      APPEND wa_head TO t_head.
      CLEAR wa_head.
    This is the code I have used...but the text is not displaying fully in the file.
    If I use DAT, then data will be wrong in some cases.(like zeros.amount in decimals).
    Thanks,
    AV

    HI,
    I suggest prepare the data in the internal table t_output as per your requirement first so as to avoid the data anomaly & then you can happily used DAT.

  • Sy-tabix when using secondary key

    Hi,
    I have an internal table with records that contain a field with the line index of another table entry that they depend on.
    I can process this table recursively, by passing the parent index inside and using a
    LOOP AT ... USING KEY secondary_key WHERE index = iv_index.
    Unfortunately the sy-tabix is afterwards not correct, it contains the position in the secondary key probably instead the position in the internal table.
    Is there a way how I could find out the current table index, when using a secondary key to read a record?
    Regards,
    Bruno

    I rewrote it to include the row index also, not only the dependency.. was thinking too generic

  • Often lose wireless connection when using HDTV as monitor

    I have an unusual wireless networking problem when using my Samsung HDTV in my living room as a monitor for my MacBook (when watching Internet TV shows, for example). Frequently when I switch URLs, networking freezes, even though the connection appears strong, with the Airport symbol at the top of my screen showing all bars. To re-establish the wireless connection, I have to go through the process of re-joining my network through the “Join Other Network" option. The signal holds as long as I don’t try to change it, as in selecting another URL.
    I connect to my HDTV via HDMI cable, using a mini-DVI to HDMI adapter from my Macbook’s video-out port. The audio connection is a mini-plug from the Mac’s headphone out jack to stereo RCA plugs associated with the TV’s HDMI port.
    The wireless connection is through a Lynksys Wireless-G 2.4 Ghz, 54 Mpbs Broadband router.
    I’d appreciate any solutions the Apple user community has to offer.

    I'd say this has nothing to do with your display. The problem will likely lie in either your router settings, network settings or a simple signal strength issue. Try first changing the broadcast channel on your router, and make sure all settings are correct for your desired network.
