Ws_upload

what is the difference between ws_upload, gui_upload and ws_download and gui_download?

Hi,
WS_* Function modules are replaced by GUI_* FMs from 4.7 SAP version.
GUI_* modules have additional parameters when compared with WS_* FMs.
Both FM are used for uploading data .
But ws_upload is obsolete now .
WS_UPLOAD and WS_DOWNLOAD, the function modules used until now are not part of the standard set of ABAP commands. They are used to display the file interface on the presentation server. WS_UPLOAD and WS_DOWNLOAD are not compatible with USs and have been replaced by GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD.
The new function modules, GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD, have an interface that also allows you to write Unicode format to the local hard drive. For a description of these interfaces, refer to the documentation for each function module, available under SAP Easy Access " Development " Function Builder " Goto " Documentation.
WS_UPLOAD, GUI_UPLOAD FMs are used in BDCs.
WS_UPLOAD loads files from the Presentation Server to Internal ABAP Tables.
This is used upto SAP 4.6 version.
GUI_UPLOAD is used to loads a file from the PC to the server. The data can be
transferred in binary or text format. Numbers and data fields can be
interpreted according to the user settings.

Difference between GUI_UPLOAD and WS_UPLOAD

Hi,
Please make me clear about the difference between GUI_UPLOAD and WS_UPLOAD. In which cases we need to use these modules...??
Thanks,
Satish

I would suggest to always use the GUI_UPLOAD. I say this because this is the function module which is used in the GUI_UPLOAD method of the class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES.   Really, you should probably use the class/method instead of the function module.

WS_UPLOAD and WS_DOWNLOAD, the function modules used until now are not part of the standard set of ABAP commands. They are used to display the file interface on the presentation server. WS_UPLOAD and WS_DOWNLOAD are not compatible with USs and have been replaced by GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD.
The new function modules, GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD, have an interface that also allows you to write Unicode format to the local hard drive.

Hi Kuamr,
UPLOAD and DOWNLOAD, the function modules used until now are not part of the standard set of ABAP commands. They are used to display the file interface on the presentation server. UPLOAD and DOWNLOAD are not compatible with USs and have been replaced by GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD.

Instead of using the function modules, you can use the static methods GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD of the global class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES.

Diff between gui_upload &? ws_upload

can any one tell me what is the difference between gui_upload and ws_upload.

Hi harish
WS_UPLOAD function module is now obsolete
from 4.7 ,gui_upload is used., this supports OOPs.
check this
WS_UPLOAD and WS_DOWNLOAD, the function modules used until now are not part of the standard set of ABAP commands. They are used to display the file interface on the presentation server. WS_UPLOAD and WS_DOWNLOAD are not compatible with USs and have been replaced by GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD.
The new function modules, GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD, have an interface that also allows you to write Unicode format to the local hard drive.
Instead of using the function modules, you can use the static methods GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD of the global class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES.
These classes are used to convert ABAP data from the system format to external formats and vice versa. During this conversion process, character-type data may be converted to another character set, while numeric-type data may be converted to another byte order (or endian format). You must use a container of type X or XSTRING for data in an external format.
Character sets and endian formats are also converted by the file interface (OPEN DATASET with new additions), RFCs, and the function modules GUI_DOWNLOAD and GUI_UPLOAD. The classes described below are available for those special cases where the possibilities offered by conversion are insufficient. Since these classes work with containers of types X and XSTRING, these containers can be copied unconverted by the file interface (OPEN DATASET with new additions), RFCs, and the function modules GUI_DOWNLOAD and GUI_UPLOAD. These classes replace the following two statements:
TRANSLATE c ...FROM CODE PAGE     g1 ... TO CODE PAGE     g2
TRANSLATE f ...FROM NUMBER FORMAT n1 ... TO NUMBER FORMAT n2
For a detailed description, see the class documentation in the Class Builder. The following classes are available:
CL_ABAP_CONV_IN_CE
Reads data from a container and converts it to the system format. You can also fill structures with data.
CL_ABAP_CONV_OUT_CE
Converts data from the system format to an external format and writes it to a container.
CL_ABAP_CONV_X2X_CE
Converts data from one external format to another.
These classes are used to convert ABAP data from the system format to external formats and vice versa. During this conversion process, character-type data may be converted to another character set, while numeric-type data may be converted to another byte order (or endian format).

What is difference between WS_UPLOAD and GUI_UPLOAD

Dear gurus,
Because my office implement SAP for a long time ago so some programs contain WS_UPLOAD function and I find that is obsolete so I want to know what is different or benefit if I modify program to use GUI_UPLOAD function instead of WS_UPLOAD function
If you have related document please give me the link.

gui_upload is 4.7 version.
there might be some difference na thats why they migrate it.
could you plz tell me the differnce
it ll very helpful to me
thanx
kals.

Hi Kalyan,
SAP 4.72 onwards system is unicode compliant.
THE WS_DOWNLOAD and WS_UPLOAD function modules are not compatible for unicode systems.
So it is replaced with this new FM GUI_UPLOAD.
There is a SAP note on this issue Note 992677 - FMs WS_DOWNLOAD & WS_UPLOAD incompatible for unicode systems
regards,nishant
please reward points if this helps.

WS_UPLOAD and GUI_UPLOAD issue

Hi
I am in an upgrade project, 4.6c to ECC6.0 .In ws_upload,there is a parameter called CANCEL ,,which is not there in GUI_UPLOAD ..whats it importance ,what parameter in GUI_UPLOAD would support this ??
Many thanks .

Hemanth,
I do not see a parameter called CANCEL for WS_UPLOAD either in the 4.6c or the ECC 6.0 system. I just see the following:
FUNCTION WS_UPLOAD.
*"*"Globale Schnittstelle:
*" IMPORTING
*"     VALUE(CODEPAGE) DEFAULT SPACE
*"     VALUE(FILENAME) LIKE RLGRAP-FILENAME DEFAULT SPACE

*"      NO_BATCH
*"      UNKNOWN_ERROR
*"      INVALID_TABLE_WIDTH
*"      GUI_REFUSE_FILETRANSFER

Can you please confirm?
