    Hi Nirmal,
    I have done the same in my previous organisation.For this particular solution you need to ask your basis guys to upgrade the support package so that BCS classes could be available in the system.
    API interafces five some problem with attachemnts and SAP has recommended to use BCS classes.
    Currently BCS classes won't be availbale in 4.7.
    Once the BCS classes are available
    use below code

  • Download alv report in excel format in Linux

    Hi All,
    I am working on SAP GUI for Java in Linux PC. I have installed
    Open Office.
    After executing an alv report there is no spreadsheet option
    to download the report in excel format .
    Also, when doing Save as Local File -> Spreadsheet ,
    the report is not downloaded in proper format.
    So, how to download the alv reports in excel format ?

    Hi Vinod ,
    Save as Local File -> Spreadsheet
    It will ask for Directory and file name with .xls format . Give proper name e.g. test.xls and save, and after saving file right click on the file and click on Open with "OpenOffice.org calc".
    It will definetly work.

  • Download ALV report to excel sheet

    halo fellow SAPiens,
    i want to download my alv report into excel sheet...........for tht i used UGI_DOWNLOAD........here if i use the file type as 'ASC' all the leading zeros of numeric values are removed and date format is "yyyy/mm/dd".......
    i need the leading zeros and date format in "dd/mmyyy"
    when i use file type 'DBF' i get the leading zeros but my date is replaced by '#####.............wht shld i do...........

    To get the leading zeros to come, append an apostrophe to the start of each field that has the leading zeros as shown
    loop at itab.
    concatenate '''' itab-field1 into itab-field1.
    modify itab.
    endloop.
    note that
    1. This sometimes doesnt show correctly in excel and you may have to double click on the cell to prevent the apostrophe from displaying in the sheet
    2. You field needs to have an extra character to add the apostrophe

    Hi,
    I had the same problem,
    Run a consistency check for your ALV and you will find out. See if you havent passed any unnecessary parameter to FM.

  • How to convert ALV report to Excel ??

    Hi,
    My requirement is to show ALV report in the excel .
    I have 2 radio buttons in Selection screen :
    1)  ALV  format                           2) Excel.
    If excel is selected then user will give a path : C :\newexcelreport.xls
    I knew that there is a way to download report through ALV report using download into local file. But the requirement is to create a report in Excel same like ALV report .
    I tried using GUI_Download . But it is displaying some fields wrongly, ex : Date , Time, without header .
    Date is showing year month date format in the excel .
    time is showing in a numeric format.
    But the ALV report is showing correct report . When I download into local then the report is showing correct results .
    Is there any function module to download exact ALV report into excel .??
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Problem in downloading ALV report to Excel

    hi All,
    i am facing the problem when i am trying to download the ALV report to Excel format i should have the option to  save as  the Excel file from the dropdown where as instead of it i am getting the option to save as XML file.
    is it something related to settings in SAP or is it done through programatically.
    thanks,

    Anyways is this happening for every one in your team or just for one. If the latter, looks like the user has selected the download in XML format & checked the "remember these settings" checkbox
    You can refer to this link on how to change the default settings: [http://home4sap.com/Blog/2010/03/ecc5-0-alv-default-file-format-when-extracting-files-to-excel/|http://home4sap.com/Blog/2010/03/ecc5-0-alv-default-file-format-when-extracting-files-to-excel/]
    You can also check this SAP offers the possibility to make from transaction FAGLB03 a download

  • Download alv report to excel in linux

    Hi All,
    I am working on SAP GUI for Java in Linux PC. I have installed
    Open Office.
    After executing an alv report there is no spreadsheet option
    to download the report in excel format .
    Also, when doing Save as Local File -> Spreadsheet ,
    the report is not downloaded in proper format.
    So, how to download the alv reports in excel format ?
    Edited by: Vinod Iyer on Jan 8, 2008 11:51 AM

    The problem of course is that you can't actually call up EXCEL on a Linux machine so such XXL functions  as  call function 'ALV_XXL_CALL' will not work.
    I don't think SAP has OPEN OFFICE integration -- and even if you use EXCEL via the Linux Cross Over Office it is unlikely to work.
    You might need to fiddle around with the internal file format yourself before saving it as a local file.
    For EXCEL 2007 you actually have a better chance since if you save in TRUE EXCEL 2007 format the data is saved in a type of XML file.
    You can read about the EXCEL 2007 new file formats on the M$ site. Note however that you will need to download the EXCEL 2007 file viwer to read the file with earlier versions of EXCEL.
    (You can use EXCEL 2007 in "compatability" mode but using an XML file IMO seems a better option).
    If you use a lot of EXCEL functionality probably the best option is to install Windows as a VM on your linux machine (VMWARE/PARALLELS/VMBOX etc) and then run the standard SAPGUI from the Windows VM.
    Probably not the answer you want but it's the best I can do.

  • Problem in exporting ALV Report to excel sheet

    Hi All,
    I have developed a Report and now facing problem in exporting the same to excel sheet.
    When we click the "Locate File" icon in the report layout, the system will pop up a window with radio buttons. I have opted for 'Spreadsheet'.
    When i save the excel sheet into my desktop, the excel file has all the report headers (Title of each column). But no value is exported.
    There are around 15 columns in the report and the excel sheet shows value of last 2 columns which has some text.
    I have been into ALV report development and developed around 30+ reports in the same fashion.
    What might be the reason behind this issue?
    When i export other reports into excel sheet, everything is perfect without any flaws......
    Kindly help me out......
    Regards
    Pavan

    Hi,
    Here's my suggestion: Install OpenOffice.org and ask SAP to deliver good integration with OpenOffice.org.
    Alternative suggestion: re-install SAP Gui on the PC where the integration is not working. If that does not help, re-install Microsoft Office as well.
    Here's my comment: I think you should ask this question in a different forum, e.g. in the Duet forum. That may not be the correct forum either, but as it is a Microsoft/SAP integration technology forum, someone there may know the solution.
    Regards,
    Raj.

    Actually now I think there is another way to do this, storing file on application server can create problems as sometimes the users don't have directory write access or things like that.
    Instead you should export your data to a memory or database cluster and import it back using abother program.
    The proposed changes would be
    1: At the point you are calling your alv grid function, check if the sy-batch is 'X' for background job, if yes than export to database table INDX or you can create your own. suppose your data is in internal table ITAB than in case of background job, you will do
    data: keyf like indx-srtfd.
    *We just assign username, date time to this
    concatenate sy-uname sy-datum sy-uzeit into keyf.
    EXPORT itab TO DATABASE indx(ZZ) ID keyf.
    check for subrc if export is successfull.
    Now you have stored your itab in database for later processing. remember to have keyf. In case of background job you can have it write in the output so from spool output you can check what was the keyf to use.
    You have to write another program to import itab from database and download it or display it.....
    This program will have keyf as input parameter and you must define ITAB same as the orignal program.
    parameters: p_keyf like like indx-srtfd.
    import itab from database indx(ZZ) id keyf.
    *Now you have itab. do whatever you want with it. download it using GUI_DOWNLOAD function or display it in an ALV grid.......
    Hope you got the overall idea.

    Hi Ajay,
    SAP has provided the user interface for downloading the data into an excel file in the tool bar there is an option for downloading into excel.
    Another way is to write a code using the function module alsm_excel and then downloading into the excel,
