Hi gokul,

you can make use of the ui element fileupload/filedownload, which will help u to give the file path.

create a window and a view for that popup. In that view, insert a fileupload element.

Is there any way to get file browse pop up before download?

hi gokul,

u can make use of the method attach_file_to_response in the class CL_WD_RUNTIME_SERVICES, which will prompt the user to save the file.

hope this helps u....

Hi Abhi,

I need to do certain functionality if the download is successfull. So if i use ALV how i can come to know the user has done save or not. If i allow the user to select the file path with file name then i can download the file in the specific path then if the download is success then i can perform set of functionality (Need to modify records of database table as per my requirement).

In Web Dynpro you can not know whether user has saved it or not, because it is client side functionality and Browser has limited access to the I/O of the client system

where as in SAPGUI the GUI is always connected to the server, hence it is possible.

browser works only on HTTP requests and response, this is not possible

Hello Arun & Abhi,

File upload UI element has showing File browse pop up. But i want to download file from an internal table to Excel. User need to give file path so that the directory selection needs to be done. And also the user will select the directory and type the file name (File so far not exist) for download.

If i add UI element 'File Download' I am getting a link and i cant browse directory and give file.

Give your suggesions.

Thanks
