Hi,

Thers is no clear difference between WS_DOWNLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD or

ws_UPLOAD and GUI_UPLOAD.

they have just become OBSOLETE from 4.7 Version of SAP.

if you are in less than 4.7 V you can use them, if you are in higher versions then use only GUI_UPLOAD and DOWNLOAD.

reward if useful

Hi,

http://www.sapdevelopment.co.uk/file/file_otherpc.htm

If I've understood right if you use version 4.7 and above you should use GUI_UPLOAD since WS_UPLOAD is considered obsolete.

WS_UPLOAD is obsolete as of 4.7 so GUI_UPLOAD is the next trend FM which will be used in continuance.

whenver there is an upgrade later then the WS_UPLOAD will have to be removed and replaced with GUI_UPLOAD.

so only try to use GUI_UPLOAD only

Hi,

As part of the SAP upgradation, the ws_upload FM was not compatible with the Unicode upgraded systems, so they have replaced it with GUI_UPLOAD FM. As such, there is no clear differenece between the two FM's apart from Unicode compatibility.

Thank you.

Hi Kuamr,

UPLOAD and DOWNLOAD, the function modules used until now are not part of the standard set of ABAP commands. They are used to display the file interface on the presentation server. UPLOAD and DOWNLOAD are not compatible with USs and have been replaced by GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD.

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. For a description of these interfaces, refer to the documentation for each function module, available under SAP Easy Access " Development " Function Builder " Goto " Documentation.

Instead of using the function modules, you can use the static methods GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD of the global class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES.

Hope this resolves your query.

hi,

WS_UPLOAD---- Load Files from the Presentation Server to Internal ABAP Tables.

WS means Work Station.

This is used upto SAP 4.6 version and is obsolete now.

GUI_UPLOAD------- Replaces WS_UPLOAD. Upoad file from presentation server to the app server. From 4.7 SAP version it is replaced.

Hi,

ws_upload & ws_download are the obsolete ones.

gui_upload & gui_download are the new versions of ws_upload & ws_download.

new versions also support ws_upload & ws_download.
