Download excel from spool.

hi experts,
i have a classical report which should be executed in background.
the o/p is coming ok but when from spool i m downloading it to spread sheet each column is shifted towards left.
what is the reason behind this?
the o/p is coming well in spread sheet when executed in foreground mode.
regards
pankaj

I am not an expert at all, but I will give it a try:
what do you mean with downloading the spool? Just going to SP01 and save the list to a local file of the type Spread sheet? If that is the case, then the issue is probably caused by the fact that Excel automatically removes leading spaces! You should download it unconverted to your local file system (txt format), open excel and from within excel you open the file and use the wizard to open it. At the step where you can choose the types of the columns, you should select all columns and let them use type Text. Now the leading spaces should remain!

Hi,
whenever you click on Excel download option select spreadsheet instead of unconverted
There is a possibility of download the spool file as txt-file. .
Use Tranx SP01 - select the spool entry -->"spool request --> forward as text . You will find the file in your SAP work directory as <sid><spool#>.
or use fm RSPO_DOWNLOAD_SPOOLJOB.
Download in Background in Excel Format
How to download the data in excel format directly while executing in background mode?
If you will execute it in bacground with ws_download or download, it will be aoutomatically cancel. so what is the procedure to do this. How is can directly read the spool from program?
Download from background is possible, if you could setup the environment
1. create a custom table first
    Table : Y001
    Displayed fields:   4 of   4 Fixed columns:
       MANDT BNAME       Y_SITE    Y_PATH
       010      <userid>     <site>      cd <novell_path>
2. rewrite ws_download to z_download (light modification required, see attachment)
3. ask your basis team to make a copy of command FTP and CHMOD to ZFTP and ZCHMOD resp., make the setting according to your environment.

Shubhanshu Agrawal.

Hello Shubhanshu,
where in your report is something transformed in XLS file? I canot see that. You got your spool number and with help of function RSPO_RETURN_ABAP_SPOOLJOB, your spool list will be transformed into internal table. This internal table will be saved as ASCII then, but no XLS in your coding.
And then the GUI download function deals with ASCII rows, but not with pages. The number of pages when you import ASCII rows in an excel file is definitely NOT the same like in your spool! I do not know any way to compare the page numbers..why so? It goes about the data rows.
Did you have a look at your internal table IT_XLS_SPOOL, if any data row from your spool is listed there?
Regards
Michael

Upload/download excel from BSP

Hi all
I am new to BSP's and and need to investigate the following:
Is it possible to create an excel file, manipulate certain cells (e.g. read only, format colours etc.) then export the file to a supplier via the portal. Then read the file and update R3. As the file will be quite large is it possible to compress it?
Thanks
Zane

Hi look at these blogs:
/people/thomas.jung3/blog/2004/09/02/creating-a-bsp-extension-for-downloading-a-table
/people/sap.user72/blog/2006/02/07/downloading-data-into-excel-with-format-options
But I don't know any way of communication from the excel-sheet back to the R/3.

Is it possible to download pdf from spool in smallest form

Hi Gurus,
our customer wants a report that has many columns, so I create a report with line size 1023. But also they want to download it to a pdf form, so I send the report to spool and download it to pdf form by running standard report RSTXPDFT4. But pdf form takes only little part of the report, many columns can't seen in it. Is there any way to take it in smallest font or any other thing that I can take all the columns or print columns in other page??
thanks..

Hi,
Implement SAP note #1226758. Ensure that you make the setting below in SPAD as decribed in the note:
'SP01: Number of Columns for List Display from Format'.
This should ensure that the wide format is used for the PDF also.

Hi,
Please find the error as an attachment when a user is trying to download data from spool.
Please Guide me solution..
Thanks in advance..

Aravind.

Hi Aravind,
It could be due to overflow of your spool count.Try to check it first or if possible delete some old spool requests from the system by execution of standard report RSPO1041.
After that try to re run the same & take a sample printout to check again.

Taking download into excel from ALV Grid - header is printing in two lines

Hi All,
I have a scenario where I am taking the download from ALV grid to an excel sheet. Now the header of the ALV (column names) is appearing in two lines in the downloaded excel sheet while items (records of the ALV table) are getting displayed in a single line.
This download is taken from the standard download to local file (spreadsheet) button provided by SAP for ALVs.
I am using function module "Reuse_alv_grid_display" for the purpose.
Can somebody provide an idea how I can avoid the header printing in two lines and keep the length as it is.
Thanks in Advance,
Chandan

Hi..
1. Pass header name in internal table appned first line.
2. after that pass u r data .
3. Use FM. WS_DOWNLOAD

It is not the problem of your program. This happens becuase of the "nature" of the excel. You need to retain the text property of that column.
Try like this:
1. Download the file in .txt
2. Open Excel .. blank sheet
3. Now, click on Open. Select your .txt file
4. One pop up will come ..."Text Import Wizard"
5. Select the fixed width or Delimited ... Press Next ...
6. Select appropriate delimitors or fixed length .. press Next
7. Select your coulumn (which has the problem), Select the "Text" radiobutton on the upper-right corner and finish.

Delete blank lines when downloading to excel from CL_GUI_ALV_TREE

Hi Experts
I have developed a report using the class CL_GUI_ALV_TREE. If the user wants to download it into local machine in the excel format, he is going to the print preview and downloadn through Syste --> LIst --> Save --> Local File.
But in the excel file there are few blank lines after each node. Now my client wants to excluding of those blank lines while downloading the file into excel. Is there any method to achieve this.
Please advice me if there is any solution.
Thanks in advance
Praveen

Hi Praveen,
We cannot do any thing if the user download the file by that selection,
Disable the download option from the toolbar and you provide a download button on the toolbar. as the user clicks the button the delete the black entries from the table and download it using CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES.

First check whether your ALV grid OUTPUT is Consistent or Not .
if there are any inconsistency then you need to rectify that .
for Checking COnsistency / Inconsistency .do following steps
1) execute ALV report
2) Press Shift+Mouse Right Button (Twice) in blank area of report
3) you will get result whether ALV is good or not .
