Answer 1

here are replacement function modules for the obsolete ones.
award points in case u feel this useful
1. Obsolete Function Module: WS_UPLOAD.
      Replacement FM: GUI_UPLOAD.
Note:
  1. If the FM ‘WS_UPLOAD' has file type as ASC, then we can use same file    
    type ASC for GUI_UPLOAD also.
2. But if the FM 'WS_UPLOAD' has file type as DAT, we can not use DAT for  
  'GUI_UPLOAD' as it will give short dump.
    In this case we need use file type as ASC
      and
      HAS_FIELD_SEPARATOR = ‘X’.
3. If the file name or file type of ws_upload have variables or constants   
    Instead of hard coding, then don’t use hard code values for gui_upload.
3. The data type of file name always should be of character type for gui_upload
      The file type should be of Type Character and length 10.
  4. Always uncomment the exceptions for gui_upload.
  5. And also uncomment the code inside IF SY-SUBRC <> 0. and ENDIF after    
      gui_upload if the customer has not handled any exception in 46c version.
      If there is any code inside IF SY-SUBRC <> 0 and ENDIF for ws_upload in 46c
      version, Please use the same code in ECC also after gui_upload.
Example:
   Example for File type ASC:
CALL FUNCTION 'WS_UPLOAD'
      EXPORTING
           FILENAME                = P_FILE
           FILETYPE                = 'ASC'
     IMPORTING
          FILELENGTH              =
      TABLES
           DATA_TAB                = P_I_DATA
      EXCEPTIONS
           CONVERSION_ERROR        = 1
           FILE_OPEN_ERROR         = 2
           FILE_READ_ERROR         = 3
           INVALID_TABLE_WIDTH     = 4
           INVALID_TYPE            = 5
           NO_BATCH                = 6
           UNKNOWN_ERROR           = 7
           GUI_REFUSE_FILETRANSFER = 8
           CUSTOMER_ERROR          = 9
           OTHERS                  = 10.
Replacement FM:
DATA L_P_FILE TYPE STRING.
     L_P_FILE = P_FILE.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
  EXPORTING
    FILENAME                      = L_P_FILE
    FILETYPE                      = ‘ASC’

    DATA_TAB                      = P_I_DATA
EXCEPTIONS
   FILE_OPEN_ERROR               = 1
   FILE_READ_ERROR               = 2
   NO_BATCH                      = 3
   GUI_REFUSE_FILETRANSFER       = 4
   INVALID_TYPE                  = 5
   NO_AUTHORITY                  = 6
   UNKNOWN_ERROR                 = 7
   BAD_DATA_FORMAT               = 8
   HEADER_NOT_ALLOWED            = 9
   SEPARATOR_NOT_ALLOWED         = 10
   HEADER_TOO_LONG               = 11
   UNKNOWN_DP_ERROR              = 12
   ACCESS_DENIED                 = 13
   DP_OUT_OF_MEMORY              = 14
   DISK_FULL                     = 15
   DP_TIMEOUT                    = 16
   OTHERS                        = 17
  IF SY-SUBRC NE 0.
    MESSAGE E033 WITH P_FILE ' could not be opened'(E03).
  ENDIF.
Example for file type DAT:
CALL FUNCTION 'WS_UPLOAD'
      EXPORTING
           FILENAME                = P_FILE
           FILETYPE                = 'DAT'
     IMPORTING
          FILELENGTH              =
      TABLES
           DATA_TAB                = P_I_DATA
      EXCEPTIONS
           CONVERSION_ERROR        = 1
           FILE_OPEN_ERROR         = 2
           FILE_READ_ERROR         = 3
           INVALID_TABLE_WIDTH     = 4
           INVALID_TYPE            = 5
           NO_BATCH                = 6
           UNKNOWN_ERROR           = 7
           GUI_REFUSE_FILETRANSFER = 8
           CUSTOMER_ERROR          = 9
           OTHERS                  = 10.
Replacement FM:

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
Else.
2. Obsolete FM       : WS_DOWNLOAD
    Replacement FM: GUI_DOWNLOAD.
Note:
  1. If the FM ‘WS_DOWNLOAD' has file type as ASC, then we can use same file    
    Type ASC for GUI_DOWNLOAD also.
2. If the FM 'WS_DOWNLOAD' has file type as DAT, we can use DAT for  
  'GUI_DOWNLOAD' 
3. If the file name or file type of ws_upload have variables or constants   
    Instead of hard coding,then don’t use hard code values for gui_download.
    Declare variables and assign the ws_download variables to new variables  
    and use These in the new FM.
4. The data type of file name always should be of character type for gui_upload
      The file type should be of Type Character and length 10.
5. The data type of file name always should be of character type for gui_ download.
  6. Always uncomment the exceptions for gui_download.
  7. And also uncomment the code inside IF SY-SUBRC <> 0. and ENDIF after    
      Gui_upload if the customer has not handled any exception in 46c version.
      If there is any code inside IF SY-SUBRC <> 0 and ENDIF for ws_ download in 
      46c  version, Please use the same code in ECC also after gui_download.
Example:
CALL FUNCTION 'WS_DOWNLOAD'
      EXPORTING
           FILENAME            = P_FILENM
           FILETYPE            = 'DAT'       " split into records
      TABLES
