Converting ALV spool output to Excel

Hello!
We have a program that converts the output of a background job spool to PDF format -- no problem. Is there a similar, or not, method to convert the output of a spool to Excel?
P-O-I-N-T-S for any helpful answers!
Thanks!
John

HI john ,
As i am away from the system ,on vacation .
so just give a try on
If the program is run in the background the
SUBMIT rm07idif WITH SELECTION-TABLE li_selection
EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY AND RETURN.
CALL FUNCTION 'LIST_FROM_MEMORY'
TABLES
listobject = li_listobject
EXCEPTIONS
not_found = 1
OTHERS = 2.
CHECK sy-subrc = 0.
CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_LIST'
TABLES
listobject = li_listobject
EXCEPTIONS
empty_list = 1
OTHERS = 2.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
ENDIF.
<b>Or here you can send the spool to Excel.</b>

Convert SAP spool output to PDF

I have created program running in background to convert SAP spool output to PDF using function CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF .
It has been working fine untill I have SAP spool contained > 99 pages. It has a dialog pop up asking to run it in background.
If I clicked YES, the function generated another background job and another spool.
Also the returned table PDF contained no data.
But it is ok when click NO. The program can generate PDF file.
My problem is I want to set this program as job, so it will not generate PDF file when SAP spool contained > 99 pages.
Has anyone experienced about this problem? or know how to convert to PDF from SAP spool (>99 pages)?
Thank you in Advance.

Hi,
Use the FM convert_otfspooljob_2_pdf
see this link for example Re: Download in PDF format

Facing problem while downloading ALV grid Output into Excel

Hi Guys,
I am facing problem while downloading ALV grid Output into Excel.
It is downloading into excel, but all character columns first and next all quantity columns it is displaying. But I need columns order as it is in the grid.
If I take all columns as characters it works fine. But it will be problem for calculating total, subtotals of quantity columns
Can someone help me regarding this
thanks for your help

Hi,
Open up Excel on your desktop. Goto Tools > Macro > Security.
Make sure that your security is set to Medium (or less). SAP uses OLE automation to run the Excel instance and in Office 2003 (for example), Microsoft has increased their default security setting to High. With the High setting, the output to Excel fails.
Was this your problem? Don't forget those points, either.
check with this wetther it is solved or not.

I am facing a different behaviour in two computers , while trying to take an Excel format of an ALV report output. After generating the ALV output ,in one , when I click on the Excel Format button - the Excel spreadsheet opens with the output data. In the second computed , under the same action , a blank Excel sheet opens .
Could someone tell me a solution . What aspect is responsible for this ?

Please note that this example maybe slow at filling the excel table
(perhaps four fields per second on a 900 MHz machine - almost 30 seconds
for a short example).
To get the data on properties and methods - there is a bit of smoke and mirrors
going on here; they are EXCEL properties and methods, not sap ones - so you need
to look at excel help to determine how a particular function is structured. then
build the block in sap, as shown in the example.
If you only want to transfer the data to Excel like when you transfer the data from
ALV to Excel simply use the Function Modules:
XXL_SIMPLE_API
If you want more modifications when you transfer it to Excel use:
XXL_FULL_API

DUMP description
Short text
    Field symbol has not yet been assigned.
What happened?
    Error in the ABAP Application Program
    The current ABAP program "SAPLKKBL" had to be terminated because it has
    come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
Error analysis
    You attempted to access an unassigned field symbol
    (data segment 103).
    This error may occur if
    - You address a typed field symbol before it has been set with
      ASSIGN
    - You address a field symbol that pointed to the line of an
      internal table that was deleted
    - You address a field symbol that was previously reset using
      UNASSIGN or that pointed to a local field that no
      longer exists
    - You address a global function interface, although the
      respective function module is not active - that is, is
      not in the list of active calls. The list of active calls
      can be taken from this short dump.

ALV Grid output to Excel Spreadsheet

I have one that is hopefully easy for you guys and when I search on the forum nothing comes up.
Maybe I am searching wrong.
When you have a program that outputs to an ALV grid, there is a button you can output to a file.
Like an excel document. Icon is a document with an x on it.
First time you run it, it will give you the option of excel, star office, or all available formats.
There is also a button at the bottom that says Always Use Selected Format. User
wants to change this, but once the option is gone, you cannot undo it.
How do I basically deactivate the button to not always use the selected format???
Any suggestions would be terrific.
Thanks for your help.
Steve

Steve,
Try running report SALV_BS_ADMIN_MAINTAIN as indicated in [Note 1080608|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1080608].
I found this Note with the following search string: "Always Use Selected Format ALV Excel". You may also want to consider doing a search on the report name "SALV_BS_ADMIN_MAINTAIN" for further information.
Also check [Note 1157927|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1157927] "Export Excel: Reset export parameter from ALV list."
Best Regards,
Jamie
