GUI_EXEC showing Obsolete? What is the replacement? PLS HELP

474 Views

When I use PATTERN button on SE38 screen to add function module GUI_EXEC to the code, I am getting message that this FM is OBSOLETE. DO NOT USE.

My requirement is that I should be able to download a report to local drive as an Excel file and immediatly open it so that the user no need to go to the folder searching for the file and opening it from there.

We have used GUI_EXEC before ...but now when I try to use it SAP says not to use it.

I didnt find any other GUI functions which will help me in opening a file from a local drive. Even GUI_RUN showed the same message.

Could anyone please let me know if there is a replacement FM for this or an alternate way.

Thanks
