No.. GUI_DOWNLOAD is for foreground only.. You will have to send the file to the application server using OPEN DATASET option & then read it from there using AL11.

Jak,

You CANNOT run any report that has GUI_DOWNLOAD in it. IF you want to deal with files, then you will have to put the files on the application server (OPEN DATASET).

Jak,

You can run a report in background because the file will be in presentation server, if you want to run gui_download

in background, you can only extract the file using

open data set FILE FILE NAME for output.

Then you download it from your application server i.e AL11
