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 WS_UPLOAD and WS_DOWNLOAD are not compatible with USs and have been replaced by GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD.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 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.
data: filename type string.
filename = p_file.
call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_upload
         exporting
              filename                = filename

Diff between gui_upload &? ws_upload

can any one tell me what is the difference between gui_upload and ws_upload.

Hi harish
WS_UPLOAD function module is now obsolete
from 4.7 ,gui_upload is used., this supports OOPs.
check this
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 WS_UPLOAD and WS_DOWNLOAD are not compatible with USs and have been replaced by GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD.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.
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.
These classes are used to convert ABAP data from the system format to external formats and vice versa. During this conversion process, character-type data may be converted to another character set, while numeric-type data may be converted to another byte order (or endian format). You must use a container of type X or XSTRING for data in an external format.
Character sets and endian formats are also converted by the file interface (OPEN DATASET with new additions), RFCs, and the function modules GUI_DOWNLOAD and GUI_UPLOAD. The classes described below are available for those special cases where the possibilities offered by conversion are insufficient. Since these classes work with containers of types X and XSTRING, these containers can be copied unconverted by the file interface (OPEN DATASET with new additions), RFCs, and the function modules GUI_DOWNLOAD and GUI_UPLOAD. These classes replace the following two statements:
TRANSLATE c ...FROM CODE PAGE g1 ... TO CODE PAGE g2
TRANSLATE f ...FROM NUMBER FORMAT n1 ... TO NUMBER FORMAT n2
For a detailed description, see the class documentation in the Class Builder. The following classes are available:
CL_ABAP_CONV_IN_CE
Reads data from a container and converts it to the system format. You can also fill structures with data.
CL_ABAP_CONV_OUT_CE
Converts data from the system format to an external format and writes it to a container.
CL_ABAP_CONV_X2X_CE
Converts data from one external format to another.

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.
thanks

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.

What is the difference between UPLOAD and WS_UPLOAD?

Hi,
What is the difference between UPLOAD and WS_UPLOAD?
Best Regards,
Gopal

Hi,
Both upload and ws_upload does the same functionality, that is transfere data from presentation server to application server or from PC to SAP system(to an internal table).
There are very few difference between the two.
1 Upload requires a User Interaction for uploading i.e., user has to respond to the dialog boxes that appear WS_Upload does not. You just need to specify the file location in the function input parameters itself.
2 upload - u can give the file in run time wsupload - u have to give in Function module
3 upload is meant to be used by abappers. ws_upload is meant to be called by SAP. It is not a standard ABAP command.
4 ws_upload is Obsolete : No longer supported by SAP. Use GUI_UPLOAD instead.
The fm WS_UPLOAD was the first version of fm to get a file from presentation server, now from 4.6 it's obsolete, the new fm is GUI_UPLOAD.
The fm UPLOAD is the fm used in several applications, like ABAP editor, to upload the file.
In the some versions (it depends on patch level) UPLOAD can call WS_UPLOAD (or GUI_UPLOAD).
Last but not the least, 'upload' internally calls 'ws_upload', that's the difference.
Hope this would be helpful.

Varun.

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:

 SERIAL_NO(18) TYPE C,

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.
Regards
Vijay

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

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>.

endif.
call method go_guiobj->gui_download

 write_field_separator = 'X'
 changing
 data_tab = <int_table>.

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'
HAS_FIELD_SEPARATOR           = ' '
HEADER_LENGTH                 = 0
READ_BY_LINE                  = 'X'
DAT_MODE                      = ' '
I don't have the possibility to choose the codepage. Perhaps it's the reason ?

Can't we use GUI_UPLOAD and scshedule in background

Hi,
I have a program which uploads a comma delimted text file and updates custom table.
.It works fine in when I run online but when I schedule it background it fails.
I used GUI_UPLOAD to upload the text file.
FORM file_upload.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
EXPORTING
filename = file
* FILETYPE = 'ASC
* has_field_separator = ',' <-- Comment this
* HEADER_LENGTH = 1
* READ_BY_LINE = 'X'
* IMPORTING
* FILELENGTH =

TABLES
data_tab = i_datatab

 APPEND wa_tab TO i_tab.
 ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.

fm GUI_UPLOAD will not work in background
you need to use
lv_filename = <input file path> " app server path
open dataset lv_filename for input in text mode encoding default.
 if sy-subrc = 0.
 do.
 read dataset lv_filename into gs_input-wa_string.
 if sy-subrc eq 0.
 append gs_input to gt_input.
 else.
 exit.
 endif.
 enddo.
 close dataset lv_filename.
 endif.
