Control Flush Error

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am using GUI_DOWNLOAD FM inside my program. I need to download the internal table into 'dbf' file format. But while executing I am getting sy-subrc = 21 which is 'CONTROL FLUSH ERROR'. Could anyone please help me on this issue?

Are you running this in the background, or foreground?

Hi Rich,

We are running this in foreground.

Thanks,

Ok great, can you post the relevant code surrounding this coding as well as the structure of the internal table.

Hi,

Structure of internal table ITAB is

FIELD1 CHAR 18

FIELD2 CHAR 18

FIELD3 CHAR 40

FIELD4 CHAR 40

FIELD5 CHAR 10

FIELD6 CHAR 40

FIELD7 CHAR 12

FIELD8 DATS 8

FIELD9 CHAR 10

Actually all this code lies into the RFC in which data is coming from oracle through XI.

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'

If this is not being called from within SAPgui, then you will have a problem. This function is highly dependent on the SAPgui, and it must be called when using SAPgui.

You can not call this remotely from any other source.

If you are running in background, this is your issue. What you have here is a frontend dependent function module, which means it uses components in SAPgui to execute, therefore it can not be called in the background.

If you are running in foreground, then there is some other issue.
