Unicode Error in DOWNLOAD function module

[Former Member]

Hi ABAPpers,

I am getting the unicode error in using

CALL FUNCTION 'DOWNLOAD'

EXPORTING

bin_filesize = v_bytecount

filename = v_download_filename

filetype = 'WK1'

IMPORTING

act_filename = v_download_filename

TABLES

data_tab = i_download.

If i try to use GUI_DOWNLOAD, it doesn't have importing parameter act_filename.

What alternate function module should i use to rectify this unicode error?

Hi Rahul,

Use CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=> GUI_DOWNLOAD instead of DOWNLOAD function module as this is obsolette.

Hi Rahul,

Check the service class: CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES

Methods:

GUI_DOWNLOAD

GUI_UPLOAD

and lot more frontend services available.

Hi,

The answer is similar to the one for your previous post. You need to use both CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_SAVE_DIALOG and GUI_DOWNLOAD

DATA: PRC_WINDOW_TITLE      TYPE STRING,
      PRC_DEFAULT_FILE_NAME TYPE STRING,
      PRC_INITIAL_DIRECTORY TYPE STRING,
      PRC_FILE_NAME         TYPE STRING,
      PRC_PATH              TYPE STRING,
      PRC_FULL_PATH         TYPE STRING,
      PRC_USER_ACTION       TYPE I.

PRC_INITIAL_DIRECTORY = FILENAME.
PRC_DEFAULT_FILE_NAME = FILENAME.
PRC_WINDOW_TITLE      = 'Debitoren-Saldenliste'.

CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_SAVE_DIALOG
  EXPORTING
    WINDOW_TITLE         = PRC_WINDOW_TITLE
    DEFAULT_FILE_NAME    = PRC_DEFAULT_FILE_NAME
    INITIAL_DIRECTORY    = PRC_INITIAL_DIRECTORY
  CHANGING
    FILENAME             = PRC_FILE_NAME
    PATH                 = PRC_PATH
    FULLPATH             = PRC_FULL_PATH
    USER_ACTION          = PRC_USER_ACTION
  EXCEPTIONS
    CNTL_ERROR           = 1
    ERROR_NO_GUI         = 2
    NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_GUI = 3
    OTHERS               = 4
        .
IF SY-SUBRC = 0 AND PRC_USER_ACTION NE
CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>ACTION_CANCEL.
