Replace FM GUI_DOWNLOAD with CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES= GUI_DOWNLOAD

Hi,
I want to replace FM GUI_DOWNLOAD with CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>GUI_DOWNLOAD in one of our old program, however parameter FIELDNAMES is used, and this parameter is no longer available in CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES.
Any idea is there any other parameter for this? HEADER might be, but I don't think so, as it has a different purpose in FM 'GUI_DOWNLOAD' also.
Thanks in advance,
Peter

Hi Peter
One work around will be to use the method twice,
first to download the header to file and then in append
mode to download the data.
Kind Regards
Eswar

Cl_gui_frontend_services= gui_download - issue with german special char

Hello,
we are using cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download to create from an itab an excel file.
We face the issue that in this excel file german special characters like Ä, Ü, Ö, ß are not displayed correctly.
I think we need to use a different codepage. But which one?
could you please give us a short coding example how to call cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download.
Thanks a lot
Kind regards
Manfred

Cl_gui_frontend_services= gui_download - wrong behaviour with Windows UAC

Hello,
we are using the method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download to store files on the presentation front end (Windows Vista with UAC).
When the user has no windows rights to the target directory and UAC is active, then the method gui_download stores the file in other directory (C:\Users\<USER_NAME>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Windows) and returns with sy-subrc = 0.
In our opinion this is a critical problem but SAP doesn't want to correct it.
What do you think about it?
regards,
Kris

Hello kpsgoutam ,
thank you for your post but it's not an answer for my question. I know how to use 'gui_dowload'. The problem is, it works wrong with UAC and target directory, where you have no rights to write the file.
Consider following code:
REPORT ztest.
DATA:
" to reproduce the problem the UAC must be active
" and you can't have write rights to the target directory
lv_filename TYPE string VALUE 'c:\windows\test.txt',
lt_data     TYPE TABLE of string,
lv_data     TYPE string,
lv_outlen   TYPE i.
lv_data = 'Some test content'.
APPEND lv_data TO lt_data.
CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download
EXPORTING
    filename                  = lv_filename
IMPORTING
    filelength                = lv_outlen

Hi
When second time you call method just add the following
CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download

       append                    = 'X'        <------- Just add this line

GUI_DOWNLOAD with Option of Binary Format

Hi Team,
i have itab which contains 350 fields with length of 3500 characters( all field values) in each row.
I need to Download data to Desktop in filename.XLS but for the FM we need to pass as 'BIN' format for GUI_DOWNLOAD or cl_gui_frontendservies-> gui_download .
I tried using one method to convert binary( which internally converting Hexadecimal format) and build internal table.
and passed to GUI_DOWNLOAD but it is not working.
Finally i have to see internal table contents in each cell of excelsheet.
Please let me know on this.
Thanks and Regads,
Venky

Hi,
Previously in the program the Function Module using file type = 'ASC' and code page as '4103'
Currently as per the conversation you suggested to use file type = 'ASC' and Codepage = '4110'.
can you please let me know codepage = '4110' will supports for all countries so that we can avoid junk characters
As i know codepage will vary based on the country.
Thanks and Regards,
anilkumar

Need to avoid header When using GUI_DOWNLOAD with file type "DBF"

Hi ,
I am downloading internal table to excel on the desktop using GUI_DOWNLOAD with file type "DBF".
Internal table I use do not have any header.
But I do see the header in the downloaded file.
It displays 1 row as " F1 F2 F3..ETC" heading for each column.
Is there any variable we need to set to suppress header.
Thank you,
Kumar

Hello Dilip,
I tried using GUI_DOWNLOAD with FILE TYPE as "DBF", and i see the problem as mentioned. My question to you is:
1. Why do you need 'DBF' format?
2. Is it required to save the file as '.CSV'? Can you not try to save in '.XLS' file?
Plz revert back.

Cl_gui_frontend_services= gui_download without carriage return

Hi,
Is there a way to get download a file to PC that way, that in the end of every lines there is a carriege return character except the last one? (Special format required by az external bank application)
I tried to add carriage return to every lines, except the last one and use cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download.
Although the "write_lf" parameter is set to space, the # is still inserted in the end of the last lines.
Any suggestion, idea?
Thanks in advance,
Peter

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download
     EXPORTING
       filename                  = v_value
       append                    = 'X'        <------- Just add this line

Report in background using cl_gui_frontend_services= gui_download Method

Hello all,
I'm trying to run a report that uses the method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download in background mode, to export data from an internal table to a xml file.
In foreground everything works fine, but when I try to run the report in background the execution stops when the method is called. Does anyone know how to avoid this problem and run the report in background mode?
Thanks in advance,
Nuno A.

Hi,
For background processing you need to use syntax
OPEN DATASET
ld_file = p_infile.
OPEN DATASET ld_file FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
ELSE.
DO.
    CLEAR: wa_string, wa_uploadtxt.
    READ DATASET ld_file INTO wa_string.
    IF sy-subrc NE 0.
      EXIT.
    ELSE.
      SPLIT wa_string AT con_tab INTO wa_uploadtxt-name1
                                      wa_uploadtxt-name2
                                      wa_uploadtxt-age.
      MOVE-CORRESPONDING wa_uploadtxt TO wa_upload.
      APPEND wa_upload TO it_record.
    ENDIF.
ENDDO.
CLOSE DATASET ld_file.
ENDIF.
