Kalyan,

CALL FUNCTION 'ARCHIVFILE_SERVER_TO_CLIENT' is perfect for my use. Thanks a lot!

Hi Kalyan,

I'm using the same code given by you to download PDF from AL11 to local and PDF is being downloaded but while opening PDF file it is showing as unsupported file type.

I have tried for multiple files but same problem.

Can you please let me know any alternate solution.

hi,

1) Read the file on the application server using OPEN DATASET & READ DATASET.

2) Transfer the contents to an internal table of required structure.

3) Download this internal table to your presentation server using 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'.

Thanks
