Using GUI_DOWNLOAD

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

i am able to save the file on local disk but if i am trying to save another one it's replacing the first file. i know methods where in i can save any number of files at

runtime. actually i am trying to save mini statements(banking software) so i want

these files to be saved with their respective account no or names of the concerned person.

* using below code u can get the account no as filename

loop at it_accounts.

p_filename = it_accounts-accounts.

     CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'.
          filename = p_filename

endloop.

Hi,

How can i find that where the file is getting stored.

hi,

check the path which is given in the gui_download option.

and also the idea of naresh is an excellent one and probably an apt to the current scenario wat u have said.

Hi Vipin,

<b>* This method of file download with check uses the latest techniques

• and achieves a very neat solution

DATA: ld_filename TYPE string,

ld_path TYPE string,

ld_fullpath TYPE string,

ld_result TYPE i.

• Display save dialog window

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_save_dialog

EXPORTING

• window_title = ' '

DEFAULT_EXTENSION = 'XLS'

default_file_name = 'accountsdata'

INITIAL_DIRECTORY = 'c:\temp\'

CHANGING

filename = ld_filename

path = ld_path

fullpath = ld_fullpath

user_action = ld_result.

• Check user did not cancel request

CHECK ld_result EQ '0'.

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'

EXPORTING

filename = ld_fullpath

filetype = 'ASC'

• APPEND = 'X'

write_field_separator = 'X'

• CONFIRM_OVERWRITE = 'X'

TABLES

data_tab = it_datatab[] "need to declare and populate

EXCEPTIONS

file_open_error = 1

file_write_error = 2

OTHERS = 3.</b>

In filename i am passing p_filename not the path.

So could you please tell that how can i define path for the file.

p_filename = it_accounts-accounts.

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'.

filename = p_filename

CONCATENATE p_filename 'SY-DATUM sy-time INTO p_filename.

jst before the func module call write the above stmt and ur problem is solved

hi vipin...

example--

p_filename contains <b>C:\Documents and Settings\nreddy\Desktop\SAP_install_latest.xxx</b> so wht i mean to say is change this name dinamically to avoid u r problem...

suppose u have file on deskto OUTPUT.XXX.

u r program is replacing the existing file.. so u wanto avoid this. am i right?

if yes chage the file name..OUTPUT.xxx to OUTPUT123.xx like that,,,

but u need to do this with out u r interference at run time that why i have give the above solution..

try to omplement the solutions .. then u r problem willbe solve...

hi vipin.

follow the following code

contants: lc_path(8) value 'C:\durga',

lc_date(10) value sy_datum,

lc_time(5) value sy_uzeit,

lc_pdf(4) value '.PDF'.

concatenate lc_path lc_date lc_time lc_pdf into p_filename.

now pass the p_filename to the fm.

THX Naresh,

I got the desired output.

probaly u r giving the same name every time...

so u need to change the name every time

use this statement

V_PATH is the file path u r using..

   CONCATENATE V_PATH 'xxx' SY-DATUM sy-time INTO P_FLNAM.

by conatnating this every second the file name will be changed.... so the existing one will be safe

Hi vipin,

If the file names are same then it replace the existing file. So try changing the file names.

hi Vipin,

Try changing the filename with an account number dynamcally.
