Alv output to Excel with numeric fields as numeric fields only and not char

Hi,
When we download the alv output to excel format in the locat file using the toolbar button provided in the ALV, the numeric fields get converted to character format. Is there any other way or settings in ALV so that the numeric fields will be get saved as numeric fields only and not character?
Rgds,

any idea for above problem is welcome

Getting ERROR when downloading alv output to Excel

Hello All,
I get a error message when I try to use the standard funtionality to download the alv output to excel.
The current statement only supports character-type data objects.
What happened?
The current ABAP/4 program "SAPLKKBL " had to be terminated because
one of the statements could not be executed.
This is probably due to an error in the ABAP/4 program.
Error analysis
In statement
   "STRLEN( obj )..."
the argument "obj" can only take a character-type data object.
Source code extract
038620   *   ansonsten entspricht sich min. Ausgabelänge und Ausprägungslänge
038630       else.
038640         if gs_fc-tech_form ne 99.
     >           gs_out-hlplen = strlen( ).
038660         endif.
038670       endif.
In this case, the operand "obj" has the non-character type "I".
Please can anyone put some light on this. It is veru difficult to go through the whole std functionality to download.
Thanks for all support guys!
Sri.

Hi srikanth,
This error comes because the values present in any one of the displayed coloums containing special character like * present before or after the number.... i.e instead of 4 ...**4.
While displaying in the screen it is of no problem. since both *4 are converted into char format (internally) and gets displayed.
But while you download the same throu the EXCEL functionality SAP will intenally convert the same into NUMERIC format. Since 4 is number.
So in that case *4 will cause dump.
*So find out the place in which the value appearing like this *4 and try to correct it.
*Surely it is of Field LENGTH problem. Try to increase the length of the field 4.
It Should WORK.!!!.. else post ur query here.

How GET Output to Excel with Oracle9i Report using OC4J

how GET Output to Excel with Oracle9i Report using OC4J.
I FINISHED THE SETPS CONCIDERING THE JSP CODE NEEDED TO GET THE EXCEL OUTPUT ON LOCAL MACHINE.
I NEED TO PUBLISH THIS REPORT THROUGH APPLICATION SERVER.
THE QUESTION IS:
1- HOW TO START AN OC4J INSTANCE FROM ORACLE 9I DS FOR THIS REPORT?
2- WHERE (PATH) TO PUBLISH THE REPORT ON THE APPLICATION SERVER?
3- WHAT IS THE DEFAULT URL TO RUN THIS REPORT AND WHERE TO PUT IT?

5- IF ANY ONE CAN GIVE ME THE FULL CODE TO RUN AND CALL SIMPLE JSP REPORT TO BE VIED IN INTERNET EXPLORER.
THANK YOU

Hi,
I can't answer to all your questions, however I can tell you that:
2) The directory where to put the report file is specifiend in a file named
<serverName>.conf
in the sourceDire property
<property name="sourceDir" value="/directory/dove/mettere/i/report"/>
that you can find under ORACLE_HOME/reports/conf
3) The URL is
http://<server IAS address>:<port number>/<jsp file path>/<repName>.jsp?server=<report server name>&userid=<user>/<pwd>@<DB conn string>[&<param>=<valore>[&...]]
5) In IE you have only to set the previous URL in the address bar.
Hope this helps you

ALV Output to Excel file

Hi All,
I am downloading the ALV output to Excel file.I am making use of LIST--->EXPORT--->SPREADSHEET option.
My list is having Header, Footer, sub totals and totals.When i transfer the list i am facing following problems
1.Even i am getting the empty columns betweeen my output.
2.In the Place of sub totals i am getting astericks
3.On the top of the records downloaded,"DYNAMIC LIST DISPLAY" is found.I want to avoid this text on the top
Thanks,
Ravee...

Hello Vinod,
1.I am getting the empty columns betweeen my output.
I am having 16 columns in the ALV output,but i got 19 columns in my excel file.
2.In the Place of sub totals i am getting astericks.
Generally there is no possibility to download the sub totals.i am using LIST->EXPORT->SPREADSHEET.
I am having the sub totals in my output.
*You would have noticed the' * ' for sub total and ' ** ' for grand totals values.*These sub total & total values are not downloaded but these asterisks are carried to excel file.
3.On the top of the records downloaded,"DYNAMIC LIST DISPLAY" is found.I want to avoid this text on the top.
I am using the application tool bar icon only.Still i am getting the same.
Thanks,
Ravee...

Output to Excel with Oracle9i Report -- DEMO DOWN

The Viewlet "Output to Excel with Oracle9i Report" (as well as the others) at
http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/demonstrations/index.html
Does not work. I keep getting a 'Incorrect skin. Stoppting' Error.
Please update the viewlet or make it available to email or download.
Thanks

Actually you don't need to see that viewlet. Just follow the easy follow-by steps in Metalink Note 240819.1 "How to Generate Excel output in browser using Reports9i JSP". This is faster done than watching the viewlet! You can use it for 9i and as well for 10g.
Please note the reference to note 271590.1 in the end of the document. Without that it won't work on 10g.

Some albums I put on my Mac to later sync with a Touch appears as seperate tracks and not a single album. How do I get them back together again other than a playlist. I do not want the tracks showing up as albums on the Touch?

Some albums I put on my Mac to later sync with a Touch appears as seperate tracks and not a single album. How do I get them back together again other than a playlist. I do not want the tracks showing up as albums on the Touch?

Are your tracks pat of a collection? Different artists, but still one album? Then mark them a s acollection or set the album artist. See this guide on how to group separate tracks into albums:

- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

Problem in downloading ALV output in excel

Dear Abapers,
                       I am facing a problem while downloading alv output in spreadsheet. Report headers and data headings are coming in excle but contents are missing instead of that No Data is displaying on excel sheet.

But if i download that output into local file or spreadsheet from ALV output screen am unable to get the data only header and field headers are coming but data is not coming. But for other ALV with same importing parameters it is downloading properly. I donu2019t know whatu2019s problem only for this ALV, any one can please help me out from this situation pls.
Thx

Hi Lavanya
There can be two possibilities
1.) check the authorization, if it's missing, then this might happen...u hav said that the other report, it's downloading fine...r u trying to download the other report also with the same user id? is it a standard program or a customized report?
2.) just try reducing the security level in excel --> Tools -> Macros -> Security
regards
