Discoverer desktop excel export truncates to 255 chars

Hi,
I am using both the desktop and web version of Discoverer (10g). I noticed that if i export a file using desktop, then data in every cell is truncated to 255 chars (which is the excel limit). However, the same does not happen if I export using web version. Any suggestions on what i can do so that even the desktop export will not limit the chars to 255? I guess there is some way, since the web version is able to it. Please let me know!
Thanks.

I am experiencing the same issue. has anyone got a solution to this issue? i dont really want to truncate the string if possible

Spool list output truncated after 255 char

Hi,
I'm using ALV list(FM: Reuse_alv_list_display) in my report. When it is run in background, the output is sent to spool. The problem is the list is truncated after 255 characters.
Is there any way to display more than 255 characters in spool? So that it can be downloaded to a spreadsheet from spool.
Thanks

Hi,
in the report-statement you can define the line-size of your list. I expect, you haven set the line-size!
Try this one:
REPORT Zxxxxx line-size 300.
Normaly the program searches the the layout that fits to your selected printer (done by FM 'RSPO_LIST_LAYOUT_FITS').

Forms 5 - system.last_query truncated to 255 char

I'm trying to display the contents of :system.last_query.
But the variable is only holding 255 characters. It should hold more. Ideas? Here is my code:
(the output of message() should be a long where clause. what I get is just a few characters. add that to the contents of vSel and I get 255 characters exactly).
declare
vSel varchar2(2000);
vWhere varchar2(2000);
begin
vSel := substr(:system.last_query
,1
,(instr(:system.last_query,'WHERE')-1));
vWhere := substr(:system.last_query
,instr(:system.last_query,'WHERE'));
message (vWhere);pause;
end;

Sure,
I had a similar situation last year..... What you need to do is "chop" up the String(Last_query) into bits using the substr and instr function. And then piece them back together...
Eg.
Begin = 255, Middle= 256,... and so on.
A bit tediuos but should do the trick...
Gracias' omego.

How to display more than 255 chars in background job with ALV Grid ????

Hi All,
I am using ALV grid with OO.
I have used call screen for ALV grid display. I have to display more than 255 characters in width. While running it, I can see the list perfectly.
But in background mode, the list is truncated after 255 chars.
Can anybody help how to send complete list(width more than 255 chars) to spool.
Thanks and Regards,
Neha

Hi SAP fan,
YES you can run the ALV report in background mode.
To run the report in background do F9 instead of F8, then give immediate and save.
Now goto Sm35 goto job overview and view the job listed
Choose the job and press the spool button. It will show the list created on the next page. When u clcik the list u can see the ALV output.
To see this the job should be in the finished status.
How to define Periodic Jobs
1.Execute transaction SM36
2.Define Job name, Job class, Target server
3.Click on 'START CONDITION' button
4.Click on 'Date/Time' button
5.Enter Scheduled start DATE & TIME. Check mark 'Periodic Job' field. Click on 'Period values' button and select 'Hourly' or 'Dialy' or 'Weekly' or 'Monthly' or Other period and SAVE. Go back to main screen.
6.Click on 'STEPS' button and enter Program name and Variant under box 'ABAP Program'. Click on 'Print Specification' button and enter Printer name under 'Output device' and SAVE
7.Click on SAVE button until you get message on bottom of the screen that describes 'Job XYZ saved with status: Scheduled'.
8.Click on 'Job overview' button or execute SM37 transaction.
9.Select the appropriate 'Job name', 'User name', 'Job Status' & Schedule date under 'Job start condition' and click on 'Execute' button or press F8.
10.You will now see all your scheduled JOBS.
Case: 2
You can Run in Background but make sure it is alv list, not alv Grid FM. if you are uisng alv list not problem , but if you are using alv grid then you can code like this..
if sy-batch = ' '.
call 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'.
else.
call 'REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY'.
endif.
if you are using OO alv then write this code..
CALL METHOD cl_gui_alv_grid=>offline
 RECEIVING e_offline = off.
 IF off IS INITIAL.
 CREATE OBJECT g_custom_container
 EXPORTING container_name = g_container.
 ENDIF.
Case: 3
if you are using OO ALV.
Just before creating the custom container check for the following condition.
Batch or Web Reporting
IF cl_gui_alv_grid=>offline( ) IS INITIAL.
CREATE OBJECT o_custcontainer
EXPORTING
container_name = lc_custcontrol
EXCEPTIONS
cntl_error = 1
cntl_system_error = 2
create_error = 3
lifetime_error = 4
lifetime_dynpro_dynpro_link = 5
OTHERS = 6
ENDIF.
You can see the output in Spool in transaction SP01.
Good Luck and thanks

Email attachment rows greater than 255 char get truncated

Hi
I am trying to code in 4.6C to email excel attachment with rows greater than 255, and the rows are being truncated using function module SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1.
I have searched the forum and can not find an actual solution to this on a 4.6c system.
Firstly is it possible to send an excel attachment with rows that have rows greater than 255, and secondly if yes have anyone seen any sample code which does this?
Many thanks

Oracle Discoverer Desktop truncate at least 10.000 rows

Hi All,
I want to export to excel file from Oracle Discoverer Desktop. If the file contains more than 10.000 rows, It truncates the output and only shows the first 10.000 rows.
How can I resolve this problem?. I changed that Limit in Oracle Discoverer Viewer, but I don't know where I can do this in Desktop.
Best Regards,
Mariano.-

In Desktop, go to the Tools menu, and select Options...
The second tab is for the Query Governor, and you can uncheck (or change) the "Limit Retrieved Data To:" item. This works in Desktop 10.1.2.48.18.

How to transfer data more than 255 char from excel sheet to internal table.

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement where i have a text field in the excel sheet of more than 255 char and need to be updated in the text element. To do that i need to transfer the excel sheet data to an internal table where one of the field is more than 255 char.
in the standard function module it works only upto 255 char. Can you help me if we have some other way to get more than 255 char in the internal table from excel sheet.
Thanks in Advance.
BR,
RaJ.

Using .xls, it is not possible transfer data more than 255 characters from excel sheet. However if the excel sheet is saved as Comma Delimited format or Tab Delimited format, then using GUI_DOWNLOAD function module data more than 255 characters can be transferred.
File name should be : .csv (Comma Delimited format) or .txt (Tab Delimited format)
File Type would still remain 'ASC' while calling function module GUI_DOWNLOAD
Also In the internal table declare the field type as String or LCHAR.
Eg:
TYPES: begin of ty_file,
        col_a TYPE string,
      end of ty_file.
DATA: i_file type standard table
               of ty_file
             with header line
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
EXPORTING
    FILENAME                      = 'C:\test.csv'

    DATA_TAB                      = i_file

Hlp reqd: Urgent!!!! An Excel attachment Having recs more than 255 char len

Hi.. I am using the FM "SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1" for sending a outlook mail with excel sheet as an attachment.
The records having length upto 255 chars are coming properly in diff rows(which means the carriage return is considered).
But when records have more than 255 chars, then the chars exceeding 255 length are coming in a single row of excel sheet which means the carraige returns are not considered.
Hope my issue is explained clearly....request every one to provide the solution as early as possible.
Regards
Nanda

Hi Nanda,
build your XLS internal table X as usual (more then 255 char). Then format the table
X to a new one Y with line size 255. (You can do your own routine or use the FM SWA_STRING_FROM_TABL and SWA_STRING_TO_TABLE in sequence; sorry but I'm on 4.6C and didn't find a FM in order to format directly the internal table from line size XXXX to the desired line size).
sample code:
t_att_tab with line size 4000 containing the excell data with carriage return and so on
objbin with line size 255 used in FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1
 data: d_string type string.
 call function 'SWA_STRING_FROM_TABLE'
 exporting
 character_table = t_att_tab
NUMBER_OF_CHARACTERS =
 line_size = 4000
KEEP_TRAILING_SPACES = ' '
CHECK_TABLE_TYPE = ' '
 importing
 character_string = d_string
 exceptions
 no_flat_charlike_structure = 1
 others = 2
 if sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
 WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
 endif.
 call function 'SWA_STRING_TO_TABLE'
 exporting
 character_string = d_string
APPEND = ' '
 line_size = 255
CHECK_TABLE_TYPE = ' '
 importing
 character_table = objbin
TOTAL_LENGTH =
LINE_SIZE_USED =
LINES_FILLED =
LAST_LINE_LENGTH =
 exceptions
 no_flat_charlike_structure = 1
 others = 2
 if sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
 WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
 endif.
It works!!!

Default Excel for Discoverer Desktop

I have searched through the forum but never really found an answer for changing the defalut excel for Discoverer Desktop. We are using 10.2.2.45.45c. When exporting to excel it defaults to Mircrosolft Excel 5.0/95 Workbook. We need it to default to Excel 2003 or later this year to Mircosoft Excel 2013.
Is there a registry setting somewhere I can add ?
We have a several excel files that are produced by command line and this is starting to cause us some grief.

The administrator is a client-tool, installed from the bi-tools cd. The default url for viewer/plus looks like http://<server>:<port, default 7778>/discoverer/plus or /viewer. When you don't run in applications mode (for Oracle eBS) then you can use db-accounts to logon to Discoverer, in the Administrator logon with the EUL-owner, go to manage->privileges and give certain db-accounts the privilige to query/create workbooks and manage access to one or more business areas.

USING DISCOVERER DESKTOP CAN'T EXPORT AND GET ERROR ORA-00000

we use a win 2000 server to export discoverer reports by command-line methods.In the past ,everything is ok. But from last week , we found some reports always keep in export phase and can't export anything, also with ora-00000 error.
there are 2 things should be mentioned:
1. in the past , these reports can export without any error
2. we can export the same reports normally on another server(but we don't want to change server for some reason)
I know Oracle suggest we update to discoverer 10g, but it can't tell me why another client can export normally
so where is the cause?
Discoverer Desktop version - 4.1.46.08.00
EBS version - 11.5.9

Hi
Presumably you have tried rebooting?
If you have windows updates set to automatic it is possible that one of the recently applied updates has done this.
Best wishes
Michael

Discoverer Desktop 10.1 and Excel

I have a report that is creating an output of 589,000 rows. I have both Excel 2003 and 2007 loaded to my desktop. Unfortunaltey, when I export to Excel, my output file has only 65536 rows, which of course is the Excel 2003 limitation. Excel 2007 has 1,000,000 row limitation. Is there a way to force Desktop to Export to a Excel 2007 file, which would have my entire 589,000 rows in one worksheet.
Thanks
Edited by: user6267603 on Feb 24, 2009 10:46 AM

Hi,
I think it only separates into multiple sheets when exporting from plus, not desktop.
I don't think that Excel 2007 is properly supported, so don't believe there would be no way to do the forced approach that you mention. If anyone knows otherwise, please do tell! This thread has some useful stuff Exporting Oracle 10g reports into Excel 2007 .
Like Troy the way i've gotten around this is to export the output into a different file format, such as csv or probably more reliably, tab separated. Click on file then export to get more export file format options.
Once exported open the file into Excel by changing the file type to all files and find the file. Excel will know that the file format is not an Excel one, and import it by giving you some options. Selected delimited as the method of opening rather than fixed width. In the next step select the tab or comma as the delimiter depending on if you've exported in csv or tab delimited. Just click next and ignore the step about skipping columns and formatting (unless you want to specifically format any of the columns, which you can do after import). Then click on finish and bingo, one huge file imported into Excel 2007.
Hope this is of use. Sorry for the basic step-by-step instructions, but not everyone knows how to do that.
Regards,
Lloyd

SOS !!! Export from Discoverer to Excel problem

Hi everyone,
My reports, exported from Discoverer to Excel look quite different from what Discoverer format is. The date in Excel is shifted, column names are missing and report is broken into several tabs.
Any idea why it is happening?
Thanks lot,
Sergei

When the users I support export to Excel they like to use the Export To Excel button in the menu. After they do that, they get a window asking if they want to enable or disable macros. I have them click Enable macros to get the same format as they see in Discoverer Plus.
If you get several tabs instead of one tab(and only one exists), I usually need to resave the workbook becuase it got corrupted (in my case anyway). If you want more control over how the workbook gets exported you can go to File--> Export... and they have some options on how the workbook gets exported.
I hope this helps.

Export from Discoverer to Excel more than 65K rows

Hi
I need to export data from discoverer to excel, in some cases it is more than 65K rows, does any body know if the file can be split in multiple files o worksheets in Excel?
Any help will be appreciate
Thanks
Vladimir

Russ
The short answer is I didn't know, as in any instance where my end users have wanted to extract large amounts of data they have done it from one sheet, I expected that Discoverer would just create the extra sheets for both but I wanted to know for sure, so I did a test.
I created a Disco workbook with two worksheets in it, the first one I called Monthly and it had 119,409 rows in it, the second I called Weekly and it had 299,775.
The first time I did the export I did it by hitting the Excel icon on the toolbar, it therefore only extracted the first worksheet (Monthly), when I opened the ensuing Excel file it had two worksheets in it, one called Monthly, the other called Monthly_1 and as expected, between the two sheets the had exactly the same number of fields as in the original disco sheet.
I then redid the extract going through the menu and chossing extract entire workbook, Discoverer then re-extracted the sheets. In the Excel file this time I had the same two monthly sheets as before and this time I also had weekly sheets, five of them. So I ended up with an Excel file with seven sheets containing all of the original data.

Spool List output display 255 char when the rpt is run in Background

Hi Friends,
I tried executing a program in Background.. The report output has more than 64 columns ( more than 255 char ) ..
Iam using "REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY" for displaying the list.
My Problem:
1. The spool list is truncated after 255 characters when i run in background.
2. Th output in Spool List is coming in 2 rows ... not very clear ... becoz of that the grid lines are not getting displayed.
3. I ve not used any Standard - line size for dislaying ..
4. In foreground i am able to display all the 64 columns... Y not in Background......
5. My Printer setting is ..X_255 .... only ...
Requirement:
1. What should i do to increase the spool list display to more than 255 characters
2. Or how to save the background run reports output to an excel sheet as how we 'll take the from the foreground.
Expecting your answers,
Thanks in Advance...
Cheers,
R.Kripa .........
Enjoy ABAPing ..........
new upcoming Abaper ....

Hello Kripa,
You need to perform two actions.
1. set an appropriate format for the printer you are using. As explained from the previous messages you go to: SPAD -> output devives (type the printer you are using) -> from the menu ..-> goto -> device type -> formats. In there create a new format like Z_65_650
or Z_65_xxxx where xxxx could be up to 1065. This is the length of your report.
When you give your report in background, do not forget to choose the new format you created.
2. After the spool request is created, you take its number and use it ar a parameter in the following report.
Please copy and paste it in a new program, maybe called ZRSPOSHOWSPOOLLIST.
It should work then.
