Download ALV to any file

Question

Hi Experts,
I am not able to see the standard ALV toolbar to download the output to an Excel or local file..etc.
I placed my ALV container on a screen below some I/O text boxes in display mode only.
I also need to download the I/O text boxes.
Can someone help me with this?
Thanks
Dany

Hi Dany,
Could you verify that in the layout the no_toolbar option is equal to space.

PD. The standard download button of the ALV, its only going to work for the data on your internal table. In order to download all the data of the screen you are going to need to program the button functionality yourself.
Add a button to the toolbar and in the user_command do something like this (to export to excel).
CASE sy-ucomm.
    WHEN 'DOWNLOAD'.
      filefilter = 'Ficheros EXCEL (*.XLS)|*.XLS|Ficheros de texto (*.TXT)|*.TXT|Fich.(todos) (*.*)|*.*|'.
      CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_FILE_SAVE_DIALOG'
        EXPORTING
          file_filter       = filefilter
          default_extension = 'xls'
        IMPORTING
          filename          = filename
          path              = path
          fullpath          = fullpath
          user_action       = user_action.
      DATA: wa_filelength TYPE i,
            wa_archivo    TYPE string.
      CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download
        EXPORTING
          filename                = fullpath
          filetype                = 'ASC'
          write_field_separator   = 'X'
        IMPORTING
          filelength              = wa_filelength
        CHANGING
          data_tab                = it_asc_file
        EXCEPTIONS
          file_write_error        = 1
          no_batch                = 2
          gui_refuse_filetransfer = 3
          invalid_type            = 4
          no_authority            = 5
          unknown_error           = 6
          header_not_allowed      = 7
          separator_not_allowed   = 8
          filesize_not_allowed    = 9
          header_too_long         = 10
          dp_error_create         = 11
          dp_error_send           = 12
          dp_error_write          = 13
          unknown_dp_error        = 14
          access_denied           = 15
          dp_out_of_memory        = 16
          disk_full               = 17
          dp_timeout              = 18
          file_not_found          = 19
          dataprovider_exception  = 20
          control_flush_error     = 21
          not_supported_by_gui    = 22

Declare a table in which you are going to save the data in the same way you want it at the output file
DATA: BEGIN OF t_asc_file OCCURS 100,
        campo1(50)  TYPE c,
        campo2(50)  TYPE c,
        campo3(50)  TYPE c,
        campo4(50)  TYPE c,
        campo5(50)  TYPE c,
        campo6(50)  TYPE c,
        campo7(50)  TYPE c,
        campo8(50)  TYPE c,
        campo9(50)  TYPE c,
        campo10(50) TYPE c,
        campo11(50) TYPE c,
        campo12(50) TYPE c,
        campo13(50) TYPE c,
        campo14(50) TYPE c,
        campo15(50) TYPE c,
        campo16(50) TYPE c,
        campo17(50) TYPE c,
        campo18(50) TYPE c,
        campo19(50) TYPE c,
        campo20(50) TYPE c,
      END OF t_asc_file,
      it_asc_file LIKE t_asc_file OCCURS 0,
      wa_asc_file LIKE LINE OF it_asc_file.
