Using GUI_DOWNLOAD and FILE_SAVE_DOWNLOAD in WebDynpro

Hi Experts,
i have a WebDynpro, in which i try to create a FILE-Download-Window to save a File in the temp-folder.
For this i used the CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_SAVE_DIALOG and the the function GUI-DOWNLOAD. Both I tested in an report. they worked, but in the WebDynpro they didn't work.
Have anybody an idea for solving this problem?
Thanks a lot

Hi,
You need not use these Function modules in WD application because WD Object library provides options for uploading and Downloading function. Just use these buttons in your screen and the functions will come automatically.

Problem with header download using GUI_DOWNLOAD

Hi folks,
Iam facing a particular problem while downloading an internal table to excel file using GUI_DOWNLOAD and file type as 'DBF'.
Once i download the file, iam getting an automatic header with contents as "F1, F2, F3,...." for all the columns. But, i want to put my own header there. Is there any way out ?
Thanks and Regards,
Vijay.

hi,
may be this code will be helpful to u
Just take one field in header(internal table) of type c. and push all the field headings into it.
and give that internal table to fieldnames it will resolve the problem.
DATA:BEGIN OF HEADER OCCURS 0,
      F1(30) TYPE C ,
     END OF HEADER.
DATA:BEGIN OF ITEM OCCURS 0,
       IT1(30) TYPE C,
       IT2(3) TYPE C,
       IT3(4) TYPE C,
     END OF ITEM.
   HEADER-F1 = 'NAME'.
   APPEND HEADER.
   CLEAR HEADER.
   HEADER-F1 = 'AGE'.
   APPEND HEADER.
   CLEAR HEADER.
   HEADER-F1 = 'STAT'.
   APPEND HEADER.
   CLEAR HEADER.
ITEM-IT1 = 'MANOHAR'.
ITEM-IT2 = '124'.
ITEM-IT3 = 'T'.
APPEND ITEM.
CLEAR ITEM.
ITEM-IT1 = 'SAI'.
ITEM-IT2 = '24'.
ITEM-IT3 = 'T'.
APPEND ITEM.
CLEAR ITEM.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'

    filename                        = 'C:\FILE13.XLS'

Fixing columns while downloading using GUI_DOWNLOAD!!

Hi,
I have declared an internal table which is downloaded using GUI_DOWNLOAD and after downloading the required outpout should appear in their own place for example:
MATNR MEINS PLANS
123       test1    test2
12         test3    test3
but whats actually happening ...
123test1test2
12test3test3
how to fix the columns so that field value appear in that location only and from the same postion for all the records once downloaded..
Regards
Gunjan

Hi Gunjan,
You can try this:
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
EXPORTING
    FILENAME                      = v_filename
    FILETYPE                      = 'ASC'
    WRITE_FIELD_SEPARATOR         = ' '
For ASCII download, if you specify the field separator as spaces, then it will automatically separate fields with TABS.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Rajesh

Why do we use inbound and outbound plugs in abap webdynpro?

hi all,
why do we use inbound and outbound plugs in abap webdynpro?
Thanks

Actually we have 2 types of plugs
1.View plugs
2.Window plugs/Interface Plugs
plugs are for navigating one view to the other and also you can pass the parameters along with the plugs.
Outbound plug is to navigate from one view to other view,also we can pass parameters along with the plug.
Inbound plug is like event handler/receiver of the outbound plug.
Using window plugs we can call other Web Dynpro applications.for more information check this link.

Issue in conversion of output file from alv to csv file using GUI_DOWNLOAD

hi,
I am using GUI_DOWNLOAD to convert the internal table that am getting as the output of an alv into a csv(comma separated file) file.I am using the following code but its not generating a csv file instead it is generating a normal space delimited file.
The code is as follows:
data : lv_fname type string.
lv_fname = 'C:\Users\pratyusha_tripathi\Desktop\status8.csv'. " Provide the file path & file name with CSV extention
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
EXPORTING
filename = lv_fname " File name including path, give CSV as extention of the file
FILETYPE = 'DAT'
WRITE_FIELD_SEPARATOR = '#' " Provide comma as separator
tables
data_tab = ITAB " Pass the Output internal table
FIELDNAMES =
EXCEPTIONS
OTHERS = 22
IF sy-subrc 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
Kindly let me know what changes can be made to make my code work.Also can GUI_download be used for batch processing and storing the output in application server?
Thanks ,
Pratyusha

Hi,
the short text description for WRITE_FIELD_SEPARATOR is "Separate Columns by Tabs in Case of ASCII Download", so why do you expect a comma?
Try SAP_CONVERT_TO_CSV_FORMAT and then download.
And no, GUI_DOWNLOAD is only for download via SAP GUI to a users computer.

Oliver

Actions - How to replace GUI_DOWNLOAD and CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES= FILE_SA

Hi,
In sap gui was trigered action whih is using smartform and then output was being downloaded and saved as using:
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD' - to
CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_SAVE_DIALOG
After the ubgrade this action is not working in web ui.
Anyone knows how to change this to work in web ui?
Thank you in advance

Hi Tanja Lukovic
Pls check the settings defined in the SPRO path CRM->Basic settings->actions under this select your relevant application area and check whether any start/schedule conditions are not met (check in conditions) , apart from this reason there could be other reasons also pls check the trigger processing type (it should be smart form print).
if the actions are already created , you can change actions and conditions.
Thanks & Regards

GUI_DOWNLOAD and background processing

Hello,
I have created a process which creates a file. this process uses GUI_DOWNLOAD to put the file on the users C drive or other directory on our network. The user wants to run this process in background and the program is returning a 6 (error unknown) from the GUI_DOWNLOAD FM. I was looking on SDN and found out the GUI_DOWNLOAD only works in foreground. You have to use OPEN and CLOSE DATASET statements to process in background. I am thinking about putting a button to denote foreground/background processing and using the appropriate statements to process the file. I will then have to get the file from the app server to a place will the user can get access to it.
<b>first question</b> - is there a FM to do a FTP from the app server to a directory on our network for the user to access?
<b>second question</b> - is this the right approach or is there something else that I should be doing.
thanks in advance for your help

Hi,
Yes, your right, GUI_DOWNLOAD wil not work in background mode, you need to place the file in Application server, here.
See the below link for a FTP program, use the proper commands(i do not know whether downloading the file is possible through the commands)
http://www.sap-img.com/ab003.htm
or else, write a small program which downloads the data from the application server, but it should run in the foreground

Is there anything to be taken care of while using GUI_DOWNLOAD in ITS?

Hi All,
I have a requirement on which I am using GUI_DOWNLOAD for downloading a file into a network Drive.In the foreground I am executing using ITS.When I click on 'SUBMIT' button it goes to "Interpreter failed ...Internal error code: 0x2101".Till the point of GUI_DOWNLOAD its working fine.When I am executing from SAP system,its working fine.Once I execute from browser only problem comes.Have anybody faced a similiar situation and if so please help me.
Thanks in Advance,
Anjaly

Hi Anjaly,
this means that the template could not be found. I assume you are using the ITS 620, in the integrated ITS this error would result in an ABAP runtime error.
Ok, how to solve? Please examine the ITS trace files especially that one for the Bussiness HTML interpreter. Its is Agate<N>_sapjulep.trc.

Data missing while downloading the data using GUI_DOWNLOAD

Hi experts,
I'm uploading the Production Order data through excel and in the transaction level it's happening fine.
After running the BDC I'm fetching the Production Order Number(AUFNR) and it's Status from the respective tables and downloading the data along with the Production Order Number(AUFNR) and it's Status using GUI_DOWNLOAD. (Version is 4.6 C)
After downloading some of the Production Order Numbers(AUFNR) and it's Status are missing in the Excel Log sheet . But it's very much there in the SAP tables and also in the transaction screen level.

But try by uncomment the bin_filesize.
Because generally the size(bin_filesize) specification is for binary files .

Creation of tables using JDBC or SQLJ in webdynpro application

Hi,
I am trying to create tables in javadictionary(MaxDB)using my WebDynpro application.I tried creating tables using SQLJ and JDBC.But I was not able to do it.I can select and insert data into already created tables.
Whwn I tried creating a table using JDBC I encountered the following exception.
com.sap.sql.log.OpenSQLException: The SQL statement "CREATE TABLE TMP_DEPID (DEPID varchar(10) NOT NULL,DEPNAME VARCHAR(25))" contains the syntax error[s]: Open SQL syntax error: CREATE ... TABLE is not supported
SQL syntax error: "VARCHAR" is a reserved keyword and cannot be used as an unquoted identifier
Does this mean that creating tables is not supported?
Can anyone help me in this matter?
Thanks in advance,
regards
~Pradeep Shetty

Hi Pradeep,
Yes, OpenSQL does not support creation of tables. But why would you need to create tables at runtime?! The natural way is to create the model at design time of your application, i.e. with the Java DataDictionary.
However, if for any reason you really need to create database tables at runtime, you can achieve this by using a non-OpenSQL datasource, e.g. you could create a VendorSQL one and use it to obtain JDBC connections in your app. See also http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/c0/3ad4d5cdc66447a188b582aad537d3/frameset.htm.
Hope that helps!

How to use GUI_DOWNLOAD inside BSP Application event

Hi All,
I am facing one issue while using GUI_DOWNLOAD inside BSP Application. When the processing goes at GUI_DOWNLOAD it gives me unknown error where as the same code is working when used in report program. My requirement is to save password into excel file at my local machine. I am using FM MS_EXCEL_OLE_STANDARD_DAT to save password in excel file but this function module fail when it reach at GUI_DOWNLOAD . Can you please help me out.
Thanks and Regards
Pradeep Kr. Rai

Dear Pradeep,
Find the below link which explains a simple data download to excel from a table view.
www.sapt echnical.com/Tutorials/BSP/Excel/Index.htm
Try to avoid the way your using in the BSP application and it is abdicable to use the standard methods / class available like "cl_bsp_utility"
Hope this will be helpful.

Why can't we use GUI_Download in background mode...........

Hi experts as per the requirement my program should run at specific time in background mode, it need to upload the Personal numbers from the input file and for those personal numbers extract the data from multiple tables. but this report shd run in background.
and download the output in the form of flat file.
as i'm running in background mode can't use the F.M GUI_Download and GUI_Upload.
can any one guide me how to solve this issue and why can't we use these F.M. if we can't use then what is the alternative to run in background mode.

A program that runs in background mode doesn't have any connection to a frontend. After all, you can schedule it to run at a time where your frontend computer is not running.
In this case you have to load your files on the application server (or a mount point) and use the FMs C13Z_FILE_DOWN(UP)LOAD_ASCII(BINARY)

Need help: GUI_DOWNLOAD and tab-separated in between fields.

hello everyone,
this is the layout of the interface that i created:
         sy-title
total records processed: XX
total records failed: XX
summary of the error
pernr<tab>name<tab>error message<tab>otherfieldshere
i wanted the error log to be saved locally thus, i have to use GUI_DOWNLOAD.
ok, here's the current parameters i supplied with my gui_download:
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
       EXPORTING
            filename                    = v_file_string
            filetype                      = 'ASC'
            write_field_separator   = 'X'
       TABLES
            data_tab                    = i_error_log
(exceptions not displayed)
the problem that i have is that, there is a difference between the error logs displayed after the execution and the error logs saved in my local directory.
i did find a way to resolve this BUT, i still need to refine it. also, the spaces between the fields seems not tab delimited, but separated by space.
to explain further here's the current error log that i have downloaded:
10000001<tab>10/23/2006<tab>01<tab>P<tab>11<tab>01
the header:
         sy-title
total records processed: XX
total records failed: XX
summary of the error
is not included in the downloaded errorlog file.
i added some modification of my report to include it because, i want to to look exactly the same as of the errorlog generated/displyed after the execution.
the result looks as it is what i've expected BUT,
when i checked the spaces in between fields...
it is all separated by spaces... not tab.
here is the actual error log that i have obtained:
         sy-title
total records processed: XX
total records failed: XX
summary of the error
pernr<space><space><space>name<space><space><space><space><space><space>error message<space><space>otherfieldshere
What i wanted to resolve is that, i want the error log to be tab delimited and not separated by space.
is this possible? if it is, any suggestion will truly be appreciated.

Hi,
Please check your flat file i think it they have used the Three spaces instead of using a SINGLE TAB. between the fields.
Thanks & Regards,
Chandralekha.
