Download a file from URL

Posted on Feb 22, 2005 at 03:41 PM 812 Views

Hi Guys,

Every week I have to manually download this file

'http://www.bankofcanada.ca/en/financial_markets/csv/exchange_eng.csv' and process it in R/3.

Is there a function module as GUI_DOWNLOAD

that I can use to automate this download process in my code? If yes, please provide an example

Best Regards.

Mireille

    Check out the classes CL_HTTP_UTILITY, CL_HTTP_CLIENT and CL_HTTP_SERVER and you should be able to find a method which downloads a file directly from URL.

    Hi,

    Check my article on

    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/documents/a1-8-4/just browsing around.article

    After retrieving the URL, you can save the content (xcontent if it's binary) variable with transfer.

    The only thing that you need to then is schedule the report in a job.

      Sorry Mireille,

      this is an external program from the GNU. You have to put on your Windows or on your SAP Server and use a function of SAP to call external program.

      I don't know standard program / function of SAP that do this.

      Frédéric

      little add :

      if you want to add external command to SAP use transaction SM69. For example create WGET that call the program wget.

      After you could use the FM SXPG_CALL_SYSTEM
