download a file

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

I need to download a file in wd. I searched the forum and so far i found mostly for upload.

and i need to use cl_wd_file_download. There is a method get_data. But I don't know how to initialize the reference.

A sample code or any hint will be useful downloading a file using this class.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Kissnas,

I am aware of this downloading from the mime, once downloaded how do i use the cl_wd_runtime_services=>attach_file_to_response.

Currently what happens is when i try to open a new url for the downloaded file, its trying to open a new session and i am getting the error 400 session not found. is there a solution for this issue.

Warm Regards

Hi,

once downloaded how do i use the  cl_wd_runtime_services=>attach_file_to_response.

When you get the content of the mime into lv_data of type xstring, pass that to the i_content like below.

cl_wd_runtime_services=>attach_file_to_response(

i_filename = lv_file_name

i_content = lv_data

i_mime_type = 'text/plain'

i_in_new_window = abap_false

i_inplace = abap_false ).

Hi Bakaran,

With this method i want to open a new window but with the same instance.

The generated url to download the file should point on the same instance, so i don't have this session out issue.

Some one has recommended me to use cl_wd_file_download... if you have any code related with using this will be helpful.

Thanks

I think you can use

i_in_new_window = abap_true

i_in_place = abap_false

this will bring the new window. I am not sure about your problem with session. You get a popup asking you to save the file in desired place. Same as another file you would download from internet. It is just a browser function.

I think for the file download there a link already provided in this forum.
