Thanks a lot,

Hi santosh,
1. Exactly for the same purpose
2. There is an independent subroutine (FORM)
   in my program,
   which will download any table,
   to the specified filename
   (along with FIELDNAMES)
3. just copy paste
4.
report abc.
data : itab like table of t001 with header line.
select * from t001 into table itab.
perform mydownload tables itab using 'D:\t001.txt'.
INDEPENDENT FORM
form mydownload tables ptab using filename.
DAta
  DATA : components     LIKE     rstrucinfo OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
  DATA : allfields(300) TYPE c.
  DATA : fld(100) TYPE c.
  data : begin of htab occurs 0,
         allfields(300) type c,
         end of htab.
Get component list
  CALL FUNCTION 'GET_COMPONENT_LIST'
    EXPORTING
      program    = sy-repid
      fieldname  = 'ITAB'
    TABLES
      components = components.
construct
  LOOP AT components.
    CONCATENATE   components-compname
  CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB INTO fld.
    CONCATENATE allfields fld INTO allfields .
  ENDLOOP.
  htab-allfields = allfields.
  append htab.
download first field list
  CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
    EXPORTING
  BIN_FILESIZE                    =
      FILENAME                        = 'D:\t001.txt'
     WRITE_FIELD_SEPARATOR           = 'X'
    TABLES
      DATA_TAB                        = htab
then download file data
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
  EXPORTING
  BIN_FILESIZE                    =
    FILENAME                        = filename
    APPEND                          = 'X'
   WRITE_FIELD_SEPARATOR           = 'X'
  TABLES
    DATA_TAB                        = ptab

  • 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'

  • Using GUI_DOWNLOAD Function module in Batch

    Hi All,
    I use the subject function module to load the data into a .xls file. I find no error while I run my program directly. But when I run it in Background it throws an unknown_error. Tried to debug, while in background (by introducing a infinite loop and releasing from the loop with the exit condition). I couldn't get into the function module to debug.
    Needed information on how else can I find what the error is and is there any other function module (other than ws_download and gui_download) which I could use and find no errors while running in background.
    Thanks,
    Aaron.
    This is what I am doing:
    OPEN DATASET p_file FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE
    ENCODING DEFAULT.
    if sy-subrc = 0.
    Loop at te070 into se070.
    Transfer se070 to p_file.
    Endloop.
    endif.
    close dataset p_file.
    This creates a file in the app server in Batch and I will have to run a program online to dowload the contents from the server. My requirement is that I need to download the contents in Batch to my local file. Is this possible by any means? (Can we create a windows executable file (.EXE) and use it in a windows batch file (.BAT)?)

  • Doubt about GUI_DOWNLOAD function module

    Hi Experts,
                          I am using GUI_DOWNLOAD to download internal table data into text file. In the text file I need to display Pipe symbol as delimiter instead of  tab space.
    Is there any parameter in the functionmodule which works on this or any other alternative..?

    Hi Krishna,
    The FM doesn't accomodate for any other delimeter other than tab space.
    In this case you will have to create a table of type string, loop through your ITAB and concatenate each field separated by '|' and then download this table using "GUI_DOWNLOAD".

  • Help , if there exists a Function Module

    Hello everybody,
       I want a help whether SAP has some Function Module which can take an "Internal Table" as an Import Parameter and give us "CSV File" as an export parameter , more-or-less like the "GUI_DOWNLOAD" Function Module , which downloads the file as ".DAT" or ".ASC" .
        Please remember that i would need a CSV file , which i can read later through Opening a Dataset and transferring the contents into a file.
         Your immediate answers is most needed.

    Hi,

    in the fun.module "GUI_DOWNLAOD"
    we have HEADER file but it is of XSTRING type so it is taking only 2 char.

  • Function module to download data into excel file

    Hi Friends,
    Please tell me the function module name which popsup a popup box to specify a filename and the location and when clicking on the OK button, the file should be downloaded to the specified location.
    I need it ASAP.
    Thanks,
    Jaffer Ali.S

    Hi Shamshudeen,
    You have to use two funtion modules to acheive this.
    1. To get the file path from user.
    2. To download the excel sheet in prescribed path.
    For 1 use following code
    AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR p_fpath .
        CALL FUNCTION 'F4_FILENAME'
         EXPORTING
           program_name        = syst-cprog
           dynpro_number       = syst-dynnr
      FIELD_NAME          = ' '
         IMPORTING
           file_name           = p_fpath  .
    The file path will be stored in p_fpath.
    Now use GUI_DOWNLOAD function module and pass the file name p_fpath to it along with filetype as .xls
    Hope this helps you.
    Thanks,
    Arun

  • Function Module GUI_DOWNLOAD: Type String Issue

    I am working in 4.6C. I have used this Function Module many times in the past without issue, but not at this site. It abends and gives me the error message:
    The call to the function module "GUI_DOWNLOAD" is incorrect:                                                                               
    The function module interface allows you to specify only fields          
    of a particular type under "FILENAME". The field "FNAME" specified here  
    has a different field type.                                              
    Here is the field declaration in the code:
    PARAMETER: fname type rlgrap-filename DEFAULT 'C:/New_PO_Format.xls'.
    The import parameter in GUI_DOWNLOAD for FILENAME is type STRING. When I double click on STRING in the FM I get "Unable to find a tool to process request". And, TYPE STRING does not exist in the system? I started making a Z version of GUI_DOWNLOAD, but it started giving me headaches because I had to start copying other SAP function modules.
    Am I missing something? Or, is there a new and improved version of GUI_DOWNLOAD to use?

    data : v_file type string.
    PARAMETER: fname type rlgrap-filename DEFAULT 'C:/New_PO_Format.xls'.
    start-of-selection.
    v_file = fname.
    use v_file in gui_download parameter.
    Thanks

  • Question about exceptions in function module GUI_DOWNLOAD

    To all,
    I add the function module 'GUI_DOWNLOAD' in the ABAP report program. After the user download the data to excel, the program also displays a report on the screen for print output.
    If the user keep the excel file open and tries to replace the file on download, the program gives an error message 'Access to file denied' and the program ends without displaying a report on the screen.
    Is there any way not to end the program even if download is failed?
    I would like the program displays a report after it gives an error message.
    So I am trying to use exceptions. But if I code to give messages, the programs ends as above. And if I just make exit when it happens, no error message and the program displays a report but the user don't know if the excel file was updated or not.
    Could anybody kindly let me know how to code exceptions and messages if it is possible the program works I hope.
    Thank you very much in advance.
    Best regards,
    Miki Komatsu

     I figured out how to do that.
      Thanks.
