Can anyone please help me in this regard.
or is there any possibility from which i can download that file just like File transfer from BSP.
Keep in mind that i am using BSP technology so all GUI based function module to download file are not working.
waiting for your reply.....

Downloading file from application server in Binary mode

Hi,
I am trying to read an application server file using open dataset in Binary Mode..
While downloading using gui_download method the file is getting truncated because of its size.
My questions are,
       How to increase the size of the internal table dynamically. Already tried using STRING type but it is not accepting.
       If I use the CHAR type with maximum length 65535 and if the length of the file is less than that then in the remaining spaces box like symbols are printed .
How can I achieve it.
Thanks & Regards,

You have to import your logo in SAP by SE78 before using it in a SAPSCRIPT.
So have you done it?
If yes, it depends on how you have imported the logo:
- As std text:
INCLUDE <LOGO TEXT> OBJECT TEXT ID ST LANGUAGE <LANGUAGE>
- As graphic:
BITMAP <LOGO GRAPHIC> OBJECT GRAPHICS ID BMAP TYPE BCOL

Hi Experts,
How to transfer file from application server to presentation server in background?
Thanks in advance
Namita

Thanks Raman and Challa,
We want to move file from application server to Shared folder, not on local machine. We checked FM which you guys have provided but those are not able to read file from application server.
We need this program to run in background so that we can use this in daily process chain.
Appreciate your inputs on this.
Thanks,

hi jijeesh,
   Welcome to SDN.
u can use to download file from application server to presentation server using the t/c CG3Y. in that it will ask the source file path and the target file path.
if u want to find the source file path in the application server, u can use the transaction AL11 to find that one.

Hi,
Try to use below function module where you need not to do anything new, just give path of the directory where you want to store on your workstation in the parameter I_FILE_FRONT_END and give path of your application server from where you want to pick file which is in .XLS format in the FM parameter I_FILE_APPL .
It will simply copy the file from Apllication server to your workstation in the same format and with the same characters.
CALL FUNCTION 'C13Z_FILE_DOWNLOAD_BINARY'
EXPORTING
    I_FILE_FRONT_END          = pr_down
    I_FILE_APPL               = l_w_file
    I_FILE_OVERWRITE          = 'X'
* IMPORTING
*   E_FLG_OPEN_ERROR          =
*   E_OS_MESSAGE              =
EXCEPTIONS
   FE_FILE_OPEN_ERROR        = 1
   FE_FILE_EXISTS            = 2
   FE_FILE_WRITE_ERROR       = 3
   AP_NO_AUTHORITY           = 4
   AP_FILE_OPEN_ERROR        = 5
   AP_FILE_EMPTY             = 6
   OTHERS                    = 7
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
*         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
Hope it will solve your query.

Is there any function module exists???
thanks in advance
Saurabh

Hi you can use this function module to move a file from application server to another folder on application server.
call function 'WS_FILE_COPY'
           exporting
                destination = m_destination
                source      = m_source
           importing
                return      = return.
Plus u can use this function module to delete the file from that folder from which u want to replace it.
      call function 'WS_FILE_DELETE'
           exporting
                file   = m_source
           importing
                return = return.
The above FM can help u copy a file from one folder to another and delete the file from that folder.

XML File not fully downloaded Fully from Application Server.

Hi,
I am downloading an XML file from Application server. It's only downloading partially. Below is the Declaration for target Internal table.
DATA: BEGIN OF infile OCCURS 0,
        line(65535) TYPE c,
      END OF infile.
SAP does not allow more than 65535 characters for a data type of type C. So its only downloading till that length.
If I am using type as STRING, its downloading in different format. Also its not allowing me to put these data into internal table.
Below is my code for downloading.
OPEN DATASET p_unix IN TEXT MODE MESSAGE msg.
    IF sy-subrc <> 0.
      MESSAGE i001(38) WITH 'Error on Open of File: ' msg.
    ELSE.
      WHILE sy-subrc = 0.
        READ DATASET p_unix INTO infile.
        CHECK sy-subrc = 0.
        APPEND infile.
        ENDWHILE.
      CLOSE DATASET p_unix.
Is there any way to convert string into XML format & put it in the internal table?
Kindly suggest me any other way, so I can download the entire set of file into the internal table.
Thanks,
Debi.

Hi ,
Try downloading the file from the application server using the TCode CG3Y on your local machine.
Then use the FM GUI_UPLOAD to upload the contents in an internal table.
Thanks,
Manish
