Excel file from FTP Server UNIX
Hi All,
I am trying to fetch data from file server which is in EXCEL(.XLS) format.
Able to connect FTP using FTP_CONNECT,using FTP_COMMAND(get filename).
Now the problem is i am able to read text file but not EXCEL file.
How to capture the excel file entries,help me regarding this?
Sachin.
Sachin, this question is asked several times each week in the forum. There are solutions, in short: DOI or OLE for dialog, external softwares for other cases. As said by breakpoint, you'll be able to process these files more easily and quickly, if they are saved under other (text) formats: txt, csv, xml, xslx.
Please search and read these posts and revert back if any question.

can any one help me out to get the exact data..
Really appreciate your quick response..
Thank YouHi, if you really retrieve an excel file, you can not see the data in ABAP. You may see them in Excel. For this you may use
CALL METHOD document->open_document_from_table
of the interface i_oi_document_proxy for OLE objects. You can access the data with reference to the interface i_oi_spreadsheet.
Please check [Desktop Office Integration (BC-CI)|http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/BCCIOFFI/BCCIOFFI.pdf] for details.
