Download .XLS-File in Background

Hallo
I should download data from an internal table into a real .XLS-file. It should run as a job in background (without upcoming pop-ups). At the end a real .xls-file should be saved on my harddisk and/or on a Windows NT-server.
Excel and file don't need to be openend during runtime of job.
I'm trying with FM 'MS_EXCEL_OLE_STANDARD_DAT' , but I have following problems (code of testreport is below):
1. Doesn't run in the background.
2. .xls-file stays open, when running in the foreground.
3. Strange formatted fields in .xls-file.
I have nearly no knowledges object-oriented development. System is R/3 Release 4.6C.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks, Martin.

If you are downloading a true xls file, then you cannot avoid the pop-ups and you will not be able to create it in the background as the EXCEL interface is not available to the backend. Your only option is to download it as tab or comma delimited.
Imagine it this way, excel is a user driven application that runs on the user's desktop and requires inputs from the user. The current mechanism of creating an excel file from SAP works on the same principle of user interaction. In the background, since there is no user interaction, it will not be possible.

1. File contains the currency fields. When downloaded the file to desktop or any location after decimal zero's are not printing in currency field.
how to get zero's after decimals in the currency fields. Please let us know the solution if any.
2. If we click the open option under file tab on the opened xls file which is downloaded from SAP then one wizard popup is coming and prompting the user to click the 'FINISH' button.
Please let me know how to avoid this wizard popup.
Thanks in advance.

"Unable to read file" error in Excel 2010 when downloading .xls file from IE11

We have lots of reports that have links for our users to be able to download report results in Excel format. We accomplish this by using the Excel mime type in our .asp pages. Sporadically, we are seeing "Unable to read file" errors in Excel 2010
after choosing Open from the IE11 save dialog. Choosing Save/Save As and the file will open just fine.
Also, we can sometimes cause the error to occur more frequently by switching windows during the time when the file is downloading.
If the file is opened directly from /Temporary Internet Files then it opens just fine.
Window 7 64-bit
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I found you replied in a similar thread, did you try the workaround (Reset the IE) that provided there? Did you change a browser to test?
Then, I suggest we use Process Monitor to do further troubleshooting. Please collect all the actions of IE.exe and Excel.exe, and check the if there are some
error message/code during you open XLS file from IE 11.
Hope it's helpful.

Problem downloading .xls file

Hi All,
Im getting problem when trying to export a spread sheet. Initially teh filename was hardcoded and so it was working fine in IE. The code then was
response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=Details.xls");
outStream.write(Results.toString().getBytes());
outStream.close();
later the reqmt changed to some new naming conventions for the file and so i modified the code like
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat ("MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss");
java.util.Date currentDate = new java.util.Date();
String dateString = formatter.format(currentDate);
String fileName = dateString+".xls";
response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename="+fileName);
the problem im facing now is the in the pop up for download the file name is my servlet name appended with some unknown string which includes numbers and characters. the file type shown is html.If you click save open then a new html page is been displayed with all the values.
Please help me with this issue.
Thanks
Noufal

Thank you so much Shanu. Its working now. It was my carelesness or rather my ignorance which caused this prob.
But Im still having a query, the excel sheet is having a [1] appended to the file name for ex 19-Jun-2006 06-46-05[1] and the client is not happy with that.
What is the reason for that square bracket and is there any way we can cut that off? your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Need to Add Field Name to the Downloaded XLS file

Im using the function SAP_CONVERT_TO_TXT_FORMAT

I need to add field names(column name) to excel fields.
So that when fields are displayed in excel file they are displayed by their column names..
How do I do this.? Any ideas.

Hi
You can manually insert the column names as the first row in your internal table to have them in .xls file as headers.

this path :- /USER/REPORTS/MM
i hv used "ws_download " function.
but the errot is that " Error in Downloading the file "
plz this prob argently ?

Hi,
for that you have to use dataset.
Refer this code.
*-- Concatenate the file path retrived from the function module
with additonal directory 'mm/ptpi006/in/' and pass it to a
variable.
CONCATENATE lv_fname c_const INTO pv_input_file.
CONCATENATE lv_fname c_const pv_flext INTO lv_file.
lv_dsn = lv_file.
*-- Open Dataset
OPEN DATASET lv_dsn FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
File not found
    MESSAGE e503.
ELSE.
Read each line from the dataset and append to an internal table.
    DO.
      IF sy-subrc NE 0.
No records found in the file.
        MESSAGE e504.
      ENDIF.
*-- Read dataset and pass it to an internal table.
      READ DATASET lv_dsn INTO lv_line.
      CLEAR wa_eord.
      wa_eord-matnr = lv_line+0(18).
      wa_eord-werks = lv_line+18(4).
      wa_eord-vdatu = lv_line+22(8).
      wa_eord-bdatu = lv_line+30(8).
      wa_eord-lifnr = lv_line+38(10).
      wa_eord-ekorg = lv_line+48(4).
      wa_eord-meins = lv_line+52(3).
      wa_eord-autet = lv_line+55(1).
      wa_eord-feskz = lv_line+56(1).
      IF NOT wa_eord IS INITIAL.
        APPEND wa_eord TO pr_eord.
      ENDIF.
    ENDDO.
*-- Close Dataset .
    CLOSE DATASET lv_dsn.
ENDIF.

Trying to download xls file with IE7 but browser tries to download as htm

Hi!
I have got a problem with downloading files using a hyperlink.
I've got a hyperlink and i did set the url property to: /resources/file.xls
when using IE7 and clicking Save As... the save as dialog appears and suggests file.htm as the filename and the file typ is shown as: HTML Document
Firefox works fine, it suggests file.xls and the type as: Microsoft Office Excel 97-2003 Worksheet
Next i typed in the url of the resource folder: http://localhost:29080/myProject/resources/
The file was shown as file.xls in the directoy listing, but when i tried to download the file from here, both browsers behaved the same way as before.
gif-files and others worked fine in both browsers.
Does anyone have an idea?
greets,
Remi

I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

HOw to download a file in background without user intervention?

Hello people,
A few hours ago I asked a couple of guys how to download a file to html. For that I am most thankful, and as mentioned this is a two part question, my other question is about how to proccess downloading the html in background and to automatically send it to a folder or other path. Without any user intervention.
Example, I run a long report to be downloaded in background. The lets say the next day, I can get the file in a folder. Thanks guys take care!

Hello guys thanks for your help so far. I have been off again on again with this task because its more for future purposes than anything.
So far I have searched the net and stuff and decided that I will use WWW_LIST_TO_HTML since I want to download it the way it is. I am also going to use open/close dataset as many of you have mentioned.
SO far Im just trying it out with a simple report program to see its funcitonalities. My code goes like this.
<b>REPORT ZCCYT_COOL2 NO STANDARD PAGE HEADING LINE-COUNT 100 .
DATA: IFIELDS TYPE TABLE OF W3FIELDS WITH HEADER LINE.
*DATA: ihtml   TYPE TABLE OF w3html   WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA: IHTML   TYPE TABLE OF W3_HTML WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA: BEGIN OF I_TAB OCCURS 0,
        MATNR LIKE MAKT-MATNR,
        MAKTX LIKE MAKT-MAKTX,
      END OF I_TAB.
SELECT-OPTIONS: SO_MATNR FOR I_TAB-MATNR.
SELECT MATNR MAKTX
FROM MAKT
INTO TABLE I_TAB
WHERE MATNR IN SO_MATNR..
LOOP AT I_TAB.
WRITE: / I_TAB-MATNR,
           I_TAB-MAKTX.
ENDLOOP.
CALL FUNCTION 'WWW_LIST_TO_HTML'
   EXPORTING
       list_index = sy-lsind
     TABLES
          HTML       = IHTML.
DATA: FILE TYPE LOCALFILE.
FILE = '/usr/test.html'.
OPEN DATASET FILE FOR OUTPUT IN BINARY MODE.
LOOP AT IHTML.
TRANSFER IHTML TO FILE.
ENDLOOP.
CLOSE DATASET FILE.</b>
NOw the problem now though is that the file isnt downloading or saving at all. I cant seem to get what is wrong since the path does exist and the this seems the universal way to implement the program. Im guessing the problem lies in the file name, because everything seems to work fine. Hope to hear again soon sorry for not visiting this place sooner cuz I was buzy elsewhere.

Downloading .xls file with multiple rows and Columns

Hi ALL,
I need to genarate .xls file with multiple rows and and Columns and sent as an email.Since our customer having Problem with .CSV files need to genarate .XLS file.
Please do the needful.
Thanks
Madhu

Hi Madhu,
You might also consider using Excel Spreadsheet XML as the target structure (namespace is urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet). When you double-click the resulting xml on a PC it automatically opens with Excel. So, users don't see a difference. It will open up a lot of options with formatting including creating multiple worksheets if you wanted to. Best of all you can stick with XML.
See my response in this thread:
Re: Convert XML data into XLS
Thanks,

Weird.. New IMac when downloading XLS files changes the file type to XLT

On my wife's IMac, when she downloads an excel file (attachment in an email) in the download folder the file name has been changed to XXX.xls.xlt. My desktop Mac does not do this.
What's happening and what is the fix?
Thanks for any direction.
Joe

You can try "Reset Download Actions": http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions
You can also try to check the application/octet-stream key in the registry and the .zip key.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\application/octet-stream
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.zip

Doubt in downloading the file in background in production

Hi ,
we are facing the problem in one report which is used for downloading the data in a file........but this report is working in QA for both back ground and fore ground and giving the file.......but in Production if we run the same programe we r getting the downloaded file through foreground only if we run that in Back ground in Production file is not downloading in the path..........we r strugling a lot ......because of this problem.......
so please help me in this problem.......
Thanks in advance....

HI
I think it is not recognizing where to send the file as it not able to get the free space in the application server .
So it is throwing it to the different application server.
Ask your basis person to check the folder is working in the production or not?
Then if it is working then define it in target server.

When I download .xls files they are always damaged I don't have this with Opara Has Anyone a solution ?

I think this happende sinds Firefox 8.0 and now I use Firefox 10 but still have this problem
I use windows 7.0

Blookers,
if those Web sites are using password validation techniques which are only supported by Internet Explorer, or which aren’t supported in Safari, then that could be one possible explanation. Try using the same browser (not the same executable) on both plaforms, e.g. Firefox or Opera, to see if it’s a browser-related issue or not.
