Hi Krishna Prasad,

WS_DOWNLOAD is obsolete, and GUI_UPLOAD is in use .<b>The new function modules, GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD, have an interface that also allows you to write Unicode format to the local hard drive</b>

Hope This Info Helps YOU.

Hi,

GUI_UPLOAD is UNICODE compatible which is not in the case of WS_UPLOAD

When using the function modules: (WS_)UPLOAD and (WS_)DOWNLOAD in SAP Enterprise (4.7) a popup appears, stating that the function module is obsolete and GUI_UP(or DOWN)LOAD should be used.

Sakthi.

4 ws_upload is Obsolete : No longer supported by SAP. Use GUI_UPLOAD instead.

in ws_upload u have to specify the file name by hard coding in FM where as in GUI_UPLOAD u can pass at run time

Hi!

Gui_upload is the modern version. E.g. it contains a routine virus_scan (if this might ever find something?), but in general it's adjusted for the modern releases with same functionality.

hi

The function module WS_DOWNLOAD/WS_UPLOAD have been made obsolete

from 4.6C. i.e., they might not be supported by SAP in later

versions. Hence, it is a good idea to start working with

GUI_DOWNLOAD/GUI_UPLOAD.

The GUI fms have better error handling. I do not know much about its

superiority in memory handling, over WS fms.

SAPInfo control includes a new method to ask for the version of SAPGUI from ABAP coding. Call method GET_GUI_VERSION of class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES.
