Hi,

I dont think you can download a file from the application server in background mode.

Still you want to do the same you can do settings for your computer from SM59 transaction. But this would be machine sepecific and this has to be done by basis.

remember the method using SM59 is not very suggestive.

Hope this would clarify your doubts.

Hi,

In order to download a file from application layer to a local file in background,

first write a report(ZREPORT1) in which do the following steps:

OPEN DATASET g_file_1 FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.

loop the g_file and append all the data into another internal table.

end of this report you shd have all the data in the application layer file into your internal table.

Now create another report(ZREPORT2) and submit this report in background.

that is,

JOB_OPEN

JOB_SUBMIT and

JOB_CLOSE

and in job_submit submit ZREPORT1 which downloads the file in application layer.

Please reward points if helpful.

Regards,

Arul.
