Gui_upload for uploading binary file

Question

Hello All,
I am trying to upload '.jpg' files using gui_upload function.
But something goes wrong and it dumps.
I am new to ABAP.
following is the code i used.
  DATA: xline TYPE xstring.
  DATA : t_file LIKE TABLE OF xline WITH HEADER LINE.
  CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
    EXPORTING
      filetype = 'BIN'
      filename = 'C:\Documents and Settings\I046674\Desktop\RawTest\images\Image_1000.jpg'
    TABLES
      data_tab = t_file.
It dumps in the 'GUI_UPLOAD' function itself.
Saying follownig,
==========================================
Error analysis
    The error occurred at a statement in the form
      ASSIGN f TO <fs> TYPE t
    One of these two cases occurred:
    1) Field f is a string, a data reference, an object reference, an
       internal table or a structure that contains such a field. With the
       TYPE addition, this is not possible.
    2) Field f is of type x and field symbol <fs> has a character-type type.
       When executing the statement, the length of f is not a multiple of
       the length (in bytes) of a Unicode character.
===============================================
Can someone help me on this?
Thanks & Regards,
Abhijit
