1. Obsolete Function Module: WS_UPLOAD.

Replacement FM: GUI_UPLOAD.

Note:

1. If the FM ‘WS_UPLOAD' has file type as ASC, then we can use same file
type ASC for GUI_UPLOAD also.

2. But if the FM 'WS_UPLOAD' has file type as DAT, we can not use DAT for
'GUI_UPLOAD' as it will give short dump.

In this case we need use file type as ASC

and
HAS_FIELD_SEPARATOR = ‘X’.

3. If the file name or file type of ws_upload have variables or constants

Instead of hard coding, then don’t use hard code values for gui_upload.

3. The data type of file name always should be of character type for gui_upload
The file type should be of Type Character and length 10.

4. Always uncomment the exceptions for gui_upload.

5. And also uncomment the code inside IF SY-SUBRC <> 0. and ENDIF after
gui_upload if the customer has not handled any exception in 46c version.
If there is any code inside IF SY-SUBRC <> 0 and ENDIF for ws_upload in 46c
version, Please use the same code in ECC also after gui_upload.

6.
WRITE : <Itab > is an obsolete statement.

It writes all values of all the fields of the itab to the report.

So, to replace this statement we need to write all fields of the itab individually in the write
statement.

For Ex :
Write : itab-field1,
Itab-field2,
Itab-field3.

If the itab has fields upto 10 , then we can write all these in the Write statement.

But , if the itab has huge no of fields , then we need to get confirmation from the customer to
find out the fields that need to be written in the write statement.

7. Obsolete FM : POPUP_TO_CONFIRM_STEP

ENDIF.

Note :

In FM POPUP_TO_CONFIRM_STEP' , the value for import parameter ANSWER is

J (YES),
N (NO).

But for POPUP_TO_CONFIRM , the value for import parameter ANSWER is

1 (YES),
2 (NO).

So, please change these values accordingly while replacing with the new FM.
8. Correcting the Character string errors by creating Text Elements:

Example:

The following is the Obsolete statement:

WRITE: / 'No existe la cuenta asociada para la sociedad: ',

Creating Text Element for above text:

WRITE: / 'No existe la cuenta asociada para la sociedad: '(T01),

We need to add a text element name as above at end of the statement,

and double click on it .

Then it will display a dialog box to confirm to create the text

Element. Select yes and activate the text elements.

9.If you get any errors related to text pools is not defined, you
can ignore.

Please ignore these errors , we no need to correct these errors.

10. OPEN DATASET P_FILE FOR INPUT.

The above statement is obsolete in ECC. So, replace it with the following statement:

OPEN DATASET P_FILE FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.

11. DESCRIBE FIELD FTP_PWD LENGTH MI_PWD_LEN.

The above statement is obsolete in ECC. So, replace it with the following statement:

DESCRIBE FIELD FTP_PWD LENGTH MI_PWD_LEN IN CHARACTER MODE.

12. Obsolete FM : CONVERT_TO_LOCAL_CURRENCY_N

 The replacement FM for the above FM is :
CONVERT_TO_LOCAL_CURRENCY

13. Obsolete FM : POPUP_TO_DECIDE

The replacement FM for the above FM is POPUP_TO_CONFIRN

14. *constants: gc_tab type x value ‘09’. "Tab

Replacement:

Constants: gc_tab type c value

CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB.

14. So_oper FOR zoperaciones-tipo_operacion MEMORY ID zoper.

Sol : This memory instruction is useless once the help has been created. So we can remove MEMORY ID.
