Difference between GUI_UPLOAD and WS_UPLOAD

Hi,
Please make me clear about the difference between GUI_UPLOAD and WS_UPLOAD. In which cases we need to use these modules...??
Thanks,
Satish

I would suggest to always use the GUI_UPLOAD. I say this because this is the function module which is used in the GUI_UPLOAD method of the class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES.   Really, you should probably use the class/method instead of the function module.

filename = p_file.

Gui_upload and ws_upload

hi friends,
i have a small doubt i just want to know the difference betweeen
GUI_UPLOAD and WS_UPLOAD which one i have to use.
which function module is useful and most preferred.
regards
srinivas

WS_UPLOAD and WS_DOWNLOAD, the function modules used until now are not part of the standard set of ABAP commands. They are used to display the file interface on the presentation server. WS_UPLOAD and WS_DOWNLOAD are not compatible with USs and have been replaced by GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD.
The new function modules, GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD, have an interface that also allows you to write Unicode format to the local hard drive. For a description of these interfaces, refer to the documentation for each function module, available under SAP Easy Access " Development " Function Builder " Goto " Documentation.

Difference of gui_upload and upload

difference of gui_upload and upload and ws_upload

hi
good
There is no difference from functionality point of view.
But when the new versions of SAP comes into picture certain objects(fun modules,tables,fields etc) will become Obsolete and the new Objects will come into picture in the place of Obsolete Fun modules and other objects
So GUI_Upload and GUI_DOWNLOAD are the newversion of function modules which are the replacement for the UPLOAD and DOWNLOAD fun modules
So we should use the New one.
So it depends on the SAP Version on which you are working
If you are still working in the Older versions of SAP like 4.0 like thing then you can use the DOWNLOAD and UPLOAD.
But if you are working on the latest versions like ECC5.0 and ECC6.0 you have to use GUI_download and GUI_UPLOAD fun modules only
reward point if helpful.

Purpose each of these is: Gui_upload and upload

Hi Friends,
Kindly let me know what the Exact Purpose each of these is: Gui_upload and upload
What is the difference between those two?
Akshitha.

Hi,
UPLOAD fm is the old function module which is now obsolete. From 4.6C onwards SAP has delivered new FM's for uploading and that is GUI_UPLOAD.
the diff is UPLOAD pops up a box during runtime to accept the file path the GUI_UPLOAD does not pop up any box during runtime instead takes the path as a paramter.
This is what SAP HELP SAYS
Files on the Presentation Server
WS_UPLOAD and WS_DOWNLOAD, the function modules used until now are not part of the standard set of ABAP commands. They are used to display the file interface on the presentation server. WS_UPLOAD and WS_DOWNLOAD are not compatible with USs and have been replaced by GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD.
The new function modules, GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD, have an interface that also allows you to write Unicode format to the local hard drive. For a description of these interfaces, refer to the documentation for each function module, available under SAP Easy Access " Development " Function Builder " Goto " Documentation.
Instead of using the function modules, you can use the static methods GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD of the global class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES.

FM GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD.

Hi,
 I am new to ABAP world.I hve been given a task to use FM GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD.Plz tell me what these functions do , i mean what's there purpose and how to use them in abap code.Plz provide some easy code so that i can understand them properly.
Points will be rewarded for useful answeres.
Thanks.

Hi Amardeep,
FM GUI_UPLOAD is used for uploading the file and GUI_DOWNLOAD is used fot downloading the file. For using these FM you need to first create internal table of all fields with character type. While downloading the file, file will be created in exact format of that of internal table and while uploading the file, you need to created the internal table with same structure as that of the original file.
eg:
DATA: BEGIN OF T_DATA OCCURS 0,
 SERIAL_NO(18) TYPE C,

 CONTROLLER_NO(18) TYPE C,
 REF_NO(18) TYPE C,
 BODY_NO(18) TYPE C,
 PLANT(4) TYPE C,
 PROD_VERSION(4) TYPE C,
 PROD_DATE(8) TYPE C,

Diff between GUI_UPLOAD and CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES= GUI_UPLOAD

i want to upload some records from the flat file to internal table. when i use GUI_UPLOAD function module in tables parameter i have given the work area. but when i use CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES-=>FILE_OPEN_DIALOG and then CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>GUI_UPLOAD i have given the internal table body in the changing parameters. my doubt is we have used GUI_UPLOAD in both occassions but when we use GUI_UPLOAD alone we are giving the internal table workarea but when we use it along with class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES we are giving the internal table body. whats is the reason or logic behind this?.

Hi guys -- the answers you've given are correct but an example IMO is 100% better
go_guiobj type ref to cl_gui_frontend_services., "For Windows file dialog
form load_data using e_file type string
 e_table.
field-symbols <int_table> type standard table.
assign e_table to <int_table>.
if go_guiobj is initial.
 create object go_guiobj.
endif.
call method go_guiobj->gui_download
 exporting
 filename = e_file
 filetype = 'ASC'
 write_field_separator = 'X'
 changing
 data_tab = <int_table>.
endform
* For Directory look up service (Windows)

 search_path = p_direct.
 perform directory_lookup using search_path.
 if not gv_folder is initial.
 p_direct = gv_folder.
 endif.
form directory_lookup using directory type string.
if go_guiobj is initial.
 create object go_guiobj.
endif.
call method go_guiobj->directory_browse

GUI_UPLOAD and UNICODE or UTF-8

Hello,
I wanted to convert some files in SAP, i.e. :
- data is processed in MS Excell and saved as Unicode file
- I read the file into SAP, process the strings and write it back
The problem is that there are some special polish characters in the file. I read the file using GUI_UPLOAD FM, but I didn't manage not to have these special characters replaced (by # by default).
Anyone came across this problem before?
Regards,
Michal

Hello Satya,
Actually I forgot to write that I used the CODEPAGE parameter... I tried two cases:
1. Save as Unicode (in Excel or Notepad) and than use CODEPAGE = "4103"
2. Save as UTF-8 in Notepad and use CODEPAGE = "4110"
In both cases the polish caracters are replaced by '#'.
In fact I tried many other code pages (all from tcp00a), but all other combinations return an error.
Regards,
Michal

GUI_UPLOAD and OPEN DATASET

Hi,
My code takes data from a file.
I want to have an option of loading file from presentation server as well as application server (in case of background).
For this I am using a checkbox and depending on its value I call the FM GUI_UPLOAD (presentation server) or OPEN DATASET (for app server).
Is this the right approach or there is a single FM available which can be used to upload file in both the scenarios.
Thank you,
CD

Hi
You're right, I don't believe there's a std fm to do that.
Anyway try to check the function group like C13Z

Same problem - To keep all the accents, i must save in UTF-8 and i have the same problem with gui_upload.I've just seen that my function GUI_UPLOAD in this system (4.6C) is not the same than in 4.7 - Only these parameters for export -
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
EXPORTING
    FILENAME                      =
FILETYPE                      = 'ASC'

READ_BY_LINE                  = 'X'
DAT_MODE                      = ' '
I don't have the possibility to choose the codepage. Perhaps it's the reason ?

GUI_UPLOAD and SOX

Hi,
I wrote a program which used GUI_UPLOAD functionality. Now the security guy says that this is not allowed as per SOX and we need to find a alternate way for uploading data.
Can you please suggest me what options do I have.

Hi,
you can use ws_upload and upload functional modules.anyways ws_upload became obsolete.so you can try using upload.

Answer the following question regarding GUI_UPLOAD and Open Data Set

1. whats the connection or relationship of S_GUI to GUI_UPLOAD?
2. GUI_UPLOAD saves files to local directory of a use while OPEN DATA SET saves/archives files in the server directory. Where is the risk directed towards consuming disk space? Server disk or workstation disk space?
3. how will this work for multiple files?
4. Regarding Open Data Set - How the files will be put in AL11?

The GUI_DOWNLOAD only download the file to local PC...so any abap code running in other pc will not able to use the file.
BUt if you use open dataset to load the file APPLICATION server any ABAP pogram can access the file.
Following code explains how you load file using open data setto appl server,
you can check in t-code AL11 for files/dir in applicatin server.
you to change the value of myfile variable in my code..
you have to give the full path of the dirctory.
