How to download file from Webdynpro ABAP?

Hello,
What is the best way to download a file from ABAP Webdynpro?
I tried calling method *cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download*
from within an Action of my WDA, but it got an error 06, which is "Unknown Error" (not very helpful).
The same code works when I execute it from a regular ABAP program.
I am not using ALV.  I just created a file by reading a database with WDA selection fields, then transformed it to XML using CALL TRANSFORMATION.
Thanks,
Colleen

You can't use the GUI_DOWNLOAD, because you have no GUI present, which is the reason why you are getting the error. You will want to take a look at the class/method  cl_wd_runtime_services=>attach_file_to_response

  • Uploading/Downloading Files in Webdynpro ABAP

    Hello,
    I am trying to Upload/Download Files in Webdynpro ABAP using the following link:
    http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/WDABAP/UploadandDownloadfilesinWebdynproABAP
    It works fine and the file(either .doc or .txt) gets uploaded successfully. But when I download it ,it is not able to retrieve the contents.
    May be the SAP ECC system does not work with Microsoft Office 2007.
    Please help.
    Thanks.

    I guess it has problem with .doc extension but
      .txt you can read
    and also .docx and .xlsx will provide the content
    it is only this .doc and .xls which will create problem.
    e.g. .docx after downloading will give one .zip file.
    change its extension to .doc or .docx. the content will be there.
    thanks

  • How to download files from the internet??

    I am a new Mac user, and I am soooo befuddled by downloading files, and what to do with them once they are on the desktop/under devices in Finder. Would someone here be kind enough to explain how to do this, please, or show me in the forum where this is already covered? Thank you very much in advance.

    Hiya,
    Downloading files is simple. All downloads appear in a download window that will open up. Once they are downloaded, you can click the "clear" button if you wish - you don't need them in there any more, and close the window. Files will then be wherever they're set to download to in your Safari preferences - Desktop, Downloads folder etc - and can then be used as you wish, opened, edited, moved. You can drag the files from the desktop into folders in finder. Sadly, someone at Apple foolishly thinks having no "cut" option in finder as you do in windows was a good idea - not quite sure how they came to that conclusion - so you'll have to drag the files from one folder to another, or copy them and then delete the original.
    If you're downloading compressed files (.zip) you may want to look up "Stuffit Expander" - a great file extraction tool.
    Hope this was the information you're after.

  • [Ask] How to download file from SNC (sapserv2)

    Dear gurus,
    We are running installation for SAP R/3 4.6c on Solaris 10 - Oracle 8.1.7 and stumble upon this case: .java_wrapper not found when installing Oracle Software.
    After searching the site, we found this note:

    According to the note, it is an installation bug, and we should download the corresponding file on sapservX, which located in :

    Problem is, we're in ASIA, and using sapserv2.
    From sapnote, sapserv2 doesn't support ftp (only SNC connection).
    Question is, how do we download the file using SNC?
    I've searched the note, but couldn't find any guideliness.
    Hope gurus can shed some enlightments.

    Are you sure about the Solaris version? The combination Oracle 8.1.7 - Solaris 10 is not supported (see [http://service.sap.com/PAM |http://service.sap.com/PAM ]-> R/3 4.6C)? Why do you install such an ancient Oracle version if 4.6C supports Oracle 9 and 10?
