Hi Satheesh,

You should use the function module GUI_UPLOAD instead.

I would recommend to use class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES with method GUI_DOWNLOAD & GUI_UPLOAD instead.

Peter which are the differences implementing the class that you recommend?

[Peter_Inotai]

Technically there is no difference, as these methods are based on the previously mentioned FMs. You can see if you check the source code of these methods.

However, somewhere I saw that SAP recommends to use these methods and this class for Frontend related things.

In 46C there is program called BCALV_EXPLOG_DISPLAY. Line 280. You can check it.
