Filename in gui_download and ws_download

Hi Friends..
if i using like this..
concatenate 'C:\'
              syst-date
              '.xls'
    into mc_filename.
in program and gave the mc_filname as a filename in the function module.its working fine in ws_download but it was not working in gui_download function module.
so please give your valuable suggetion regarding this..
Thanks
Gowrishankar

Hi Gowrishankar,
In WS_DOWNLOAD Function module Filename type is char but
In GUI_DOWNLOAD Function module Filename type is string.
so it is going to dump. first change the type of filename in your program

Gui_download and ws_download

Hi Guys,
What is the difference between gui_download and ws_download.

Hi,
WS_DOWNLOAD is an outdate and obselete.
Functionality of GUI_DOWNLOAD:
 File transfer from an internal table on the backend to a file on the
 presentation server.
 Storing SAP data in a file on the file system of the presentation
 server.
 The functionality is similar to that of module WS_DOWNLOAD. The
 difference is that the DataProvider is used for downloading the data
 instead of GMUX.
Example
 1.) Binary download (not converted)
 begin of itab,
 raw(255) type x,
 end of itab occurs 0.
 CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
 exporting
 bin_filesize = 500
 filetype = 'BIN'
 filename = 'C:\DOWNLOAD.BIN'
 tables
 data_tab = itab.
 loads 500 bytes of internal table itab into the file 'C:\DOWNLOAD.BIN'
 on the frontend PC. The data transferred is not converted.

In WS_DOWNLOAD   , FILETYPE                      = 'WK1'

Hi pals,
        I am using WS_DOWNLOAD function module in 4.6c, with file type = 'WK1'. i am getting EXCEL(.XLS File) results with out lines(similar to EXCEL SHEET). I need to get excel format(boxes)by using same file type (WK1)
Can any body suggest me.
Thanks in advance.

Ok, if you still need a solution. for this. This will work.   This program uses the WS_DOWNLOAD function module(as you were) and then uses OLE to open the excel and put the grid lines in. The data is stored on the PC in a temp file, then is save to the real file name after adding the grid lines. The temp file is then deleted from the frontend.

Hi Sravanthi,
   Create a final internal table with the excat download strucutre and move the corresponding header and item data into it then only we will able to download the data in the required format.
say ur final internal table it_final
loop at header.
    mpve-coressponding header to it_final.
   loop at item where field1 = header-field1 .(field1 refres to invoice number)
    mpve-coressponding item to it_final.
    append it_final.
endloop.
endloop.
now call the download function with the it_final internal table

WS_DOWNLOAD and line item with more than 1024 characters

I want to download a file with line size greater than 1024. I am in version 40B and when i use function module ws_download and it creates two lines instead of one. Is there a solution with another function module or something else?

Hi
Are you trying to download in binary format(filetype BIN) ?. Only binary format has length constraint of 1023 characters. Download in 'ASC' or 'DAT' format.
Also WS_DOWNLOAD is obsolete , use the methods of class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES.

Hi Kaleem,
As discussed, You can try following ..
1. Search on service.sap.com and findout reason. There is a SAP NOTE Explaining Similar Problem.
2. Remove filetype.
Hope it will work,

WS_DOWNLOAD..zero getting suppressed

I am facing a problem.
While extracting data from SAP system (Version 3.1I) and downloading to Excel file using function module WS_DOWNLOAD, the leading zeros are suppressed in numeric field.
But I need to have the leading zeros also in excel file.
If anybody has solution to this problem, please revert back at the earliest

actually leading zeroes will be downloaded.but that is the concern with EXCEL. By default, EXCEL will not show any leading zeros for the values in the CELL.
if you open the file in NOTEPAD or any other word document file, you can see the LEADING ZEROS as well.

Formatting bug of WS_DOWNLOAD?

Hi,
I am using WS_DOWNLOAD to export the ALV list as flat file before it will be displayed. Dynamic table is used so that the file which will be generated will be the same as the ALV list generated. This works. However, when I view the file generated as excel file, the fields which have unit and curr data types with unit are not formatted correctly. For instance, in the ALV list, the field which has a UNIT type displays 15.985,89 but in the excel file, 15985,89 is displayed. For the field which has CURR data type, it displays 119000,000 in ALV. But in excel, 119,000,000 is displayed. Are there any workarounds here?!
Thanks!

Hi,
Sorry for the typing error in the last result.
Use GUI_DOWNLOAD inplace of WS_DOWNLOAD with file_type = 'DAT'. This will take care of the Data Type of downloaded Excel File.

Dot - Comma problem in WS_download --

I have 3 fields in the internal table.
I want to download all those fields in to excel sheet based on the selection screen either dot or comma. I am using ws_download. I want to display all records in left side.
I have declared all 3 fields as characters.
Data: a, b,c type c.
If you select dot all the columns are displaying right side.(perfect)
Now if I select comma all the columns are displaying in right side.
Now I want to display all the records are right side even if its comma or dot.
Pl send me the sample code.

HI!
It's not exactly an ABAP problem, but maybe an excel problem.
In ABAP you can remove all dots from a string with the following command:
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '.' WITH '' IN column1.
In excel you can declare your cells as a text, or as a number. As text it is always aligned to the cell's left side, as a number it is aligned to the right side.
Select a few cells, then right click on them and choose cell properties.
The algnment of the texts, you can overrule with the manual align buttons (left, right, center...)
