Excel from abap using OLE, trying to make an excel cell-property currency

Hello everyone,
I have build an abap application which generates a price list as a MS Excel file using OLE techniques (ole2incl).
One small thing in the excel file is lacking and I hope some one can help me out:
I want to give certain cells in excel the "cell property - currency", so that excel shows the amounts as currency values.
Has anyone done or seen that before?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Kind regard, Archie Oomen

Hi,
I am having a similiar problem trying to fix the CELL format as TEXT.
No matter how I try, it often ends up as 'GENERAL.
Have you resolved your issue?
Prehaps, you could share it if you had already rectify your problem.
Thanks a lot

Unable to launch a new document in winword 2007 from abap using OLE

Dear Developers,
We have a customized abap report which use OLE to launch a new document and display SAP data in that document. It is working on winword 2003.
When we upgrade our version to office 2007 (winword 2007), the abap report will only launch a blank screen with no new document , no data is displayed.
After reading OSS note 1286768, I tried with sap gui version 7.10 patch 17, but it still did not work.
Some part of the codes below :
CREATE OBJECT wordobj 'Word.Basic' .
CALL METHOD OF wordobj 'AppInfo' = version EXPORTING #1 = 2.
CALL METHOD OF wordobj 'FileNew' EXPORTING #1 = 'normal.dot'.
CALL METHOD OF wordobj 'AppShow'.
Do we need to install any files in SAP server to enable winword 2007?
Do you have any tips to share?
Thanks & regards
Bee Khuan

HI,
   use the following
create object wordobj 'WORD.APPLICATION' .
if sy-subrc ne 0 .
    message s000(su) with 'Error while creating OLE object!'.
    leave program .
endif .
set property of gs_word 'Visible' = '1' .
SET PROPERTY OF gs_word 'Save' = '1' .
get property of gs_word 'documents' = gs_documents.
call method of gs_documents 'Add' = newdoc.
Thanks & Regards,

Calling Java API from ABAP using JCo (Part 2)

Hello,
This is an additional question to thread Calling Java API from ABAP using JCo
Has anyone managed to get the input parameter value
input.getString("REQUTEXT")
that is being passed from ABAP?
If yes, what kind of setting you need to do? Because when I execute, it has no value.
Thus, the below ECHOTEXT parameter returns blank value:
output.setValue(input.getString("REQUTEXT"),"ECHOTEXT");
When I debug by printing the below line, the input XML is indeed without value:
System.out.println(input.toXML());
Anybody knows how to pass input variable from ABAP to JAVA using JCo?
rgs,
hiroshi

Hallo Hiroshi,
as far as I can see, you are doing it the right way. The problem might be that the ABAP program does not fill in this parameter because something went wrong in the SAP System.
Have you tried setting a breakpoint (an HTTP session - remote breakpoint) and tried checking step by step if the value is being processed and put into the REQUTEXT field?
Bye,

Opening .pdf files from forms using OLE

Hi,
I want to open, print , save and save as pdf files from forms using OLE . Please help me with the same.
Thanks
Vidya

If you are in client/server mode, you can put an OLE container component on your form. However, be warned that this method does not work when you convert to the forms server web enabled mode. If you anticipate moving your application to the web anytime soon, my advice would be to web-enable first and then add in the feature to view .pdf (or other) files. In our client/server app, I went to a lot of trouble to add in OLE features such as you describe, and now I have to completely re-write those features for the web.

Sending XML from ABAP using WEB Service 6.20 to an external server

Hi,
Can anyone help me to send XML file from WAS 6.20 using ABAP withouut XI?
I am trying to send an XML file to an external server from ABAP. I have created the RFC destination in SM59 with address. I am able to make connection to the host but the whole XML file is not delivered to the receiving.
Thanks,
Wilson

if you want to push, then the other system should have some mechanism to receive it, they can be ftp location, http point, or a webservice. check with external system what do they support.
based on what the external system can support , we can come up with further suggestions.

Calling Java API from ABAP using JCo

I need to call Java API from ABAP & BSP also. For this I have got useful information related to JCo from following blog:
/people/gregor.wolf3/blog/2004/08/26/setup-and-test-sap-java-connector-outbound-connection
But, I am facing one problem. On executing Java program myExample5.java (recommended by Gregor Wolf) from command line I get following error message:
Server JCOSERVER01 changed state from [ STOPPED ] to [ STARTED ]

This is caused by either a) erroneous server settings, b) the backend system has
been shutdown, c) network problems. Will try next startup in 1 seconds.

Can anyone please help me out. Do I need to do any setting?
I'll surely reward points.
Thanks & Regards,
Nilesh Kumar

Hi Nilesh,
From the error i think that the error is with the hostname.
Please enter the the Application Server IP/Hostname.
If you are loggin to SAP System "XX1" from SAP GUI. Then click the change Item tab and see Application server name/IP let say "XX2" for hostname or "xx.xx.xx.xx" for IP.
Replace srv[0] = new Server("gateway","sapgw00","JCOSERVER01",repository);
with srv[0] = new Server("XX2","sapgw00","JCOSERVER01",repository);
If App Server is IP then replace with
srv[0] = new Server("xx.xx.xx.xx","sapgw00","JCOSERVER01",repository);
Let me know if it is throwing any error.
Thanks,
Prashil

HTTP post from ABAP using Object Oriented method

Hi ,
I want to call HTTP from ABAP. I came to know that using classes & objects is the best way to fulfill it.
Interface:
xml_document type ref to cl_xml_document
method post_xml_document.
data: client type ref to if_http_client,
xml_response type ref to cl_xml_document.
data: xml_string type string,
xml_xstring type xstring.
data: zsubrc type sy-subrc.
cl_http_client=>create_by_url( exporting url = 'http://www.example.com/post-url.xml' importing client = client exceptions others = 1 ).
client->request->set_header_field( exporting name = '~request_method' value = 'POST' ).
client->request->set_header_field( exporting name = '~server_protocol' value = 'HTTP/1.1' ).
client->request->set_header_field( exporting name = 'Content-Type' value = 'text/xml' ).
xml_document->render_2_string( exporting pretty_print = 'X' importing stream = xml_string ).
client->request->set_cdata( exporting data = xml_string offset = 0 ).
client->authenticate( exporting proxy_authentication = space username = 'username' password = 'password' ).
client->send( exceptions http_communication_failure = 1 http_invalid_state = 2 ).
client->receive( exceptions http_communication_failure = 1 http_invalid_state = 2 http_processing_failed = 3 ).
xml_xstring = client->response->get_data( ).
zsubrc = xml_response->parse_xstring( stream = xml_xstring ).
endmethod.
Above code can be used to do my work.
Apart from the code in ABAP, what are the configurational setting that we need to do ?
Thanks,
Shivaa..

Thats nonsense, create_by_url does not need an rfc connection. TA SICF is correct.

Calling external Java from ABAP using JCo?

Does anyone know if one can use JCo to write a server application that can be called from ABAP.
We are presently using JCo to communicate from Java to SAP.
But we need to call an external Java program from within ABAP.
Is this possible?
Thanks for any input.
Fred

Hi Gregor,
I was hoping you would reply to this -- these posted messages had been here for quite sometime now.
Anyway, here's the case. Our Basis team is installing the JCo in our SAP development server. This is our first time to implement this technology, so no one has a clue at all.
Got a couple of questions for you...
1. What do we need the JDK for? Is it mainly for editing, running, and compiling java files (e.g. Example5.java)?
2. Does the JDK need to be installed at the SAP server as well? Or it doesn't matter, as long as the java files will be accessible from where it was installed at?
Thanks for any response!

Tour 9630 says phone in use when trying to make a call.

We have 10 new BB Tour 9630. We have already returned one due to garbled voice. Another has developed a new condition that such that when trying to make a call it says "phone in use" when there is no call in progress. Only solution so far is to take battery out and reboot. It has happened 2 times in the past week. Taking the battery out and rebooting is not an acceptable solution. Anyone have any better ideas?
Thanks
Mike G

Other than exchanging it, I would suggest upgrading the OS to the latest released and see if that helps any.

Using Crystal Report to create reports from ABAP

Hello,
We are currently using Jetform as the designer for our outputs like Invoice, Order confirmation, etc.....
We would like to switch to Crystal instead, but don't really know where to start from.
- We already have crystal on our B/W instance
- The additional need for Crystal is in R/3, and would be triggered trough ABAPs.
What I am looking for. I guess, is the equivalent to when:
we call up smartforms from ABAP using the generated function modules
we call up sapscript from ABAP using the predefine function call (write_form open_form close_form, etc)
we call up Jetform using special control code along with the data, sent to a jetform configured printer
=> What kind of call would we then make to send data to Crystal Reports place holder and print them?
=> What kind basis set-up is needed to have to comunication between Crystal and SAP established?
Thank you in advance for yours hints

Hi,
You will likely be able to access the tables directly using the Opensql driver using Crystal Reports. I don't understand why you are assuming that an Infoset is necessary. Can you point me to the documentation that states that an Infoset is necessary?
In any case, if you want to create an Infoset, this is done in SQ02. You need to make sure that you belong to a user group in order for Crystal Report to see the infoset.

How to select a bookmark in Word from abap?

Hi,
We are looking for a way to select a specific bookmark from a Word document (opened before from abap, using methods of class I_OI_DOCUMENT_PROXY). The bookmark needs to be replaced by a specific value.
We tried call method 'execute macro' .... with par1 = '-1' and parm4 = 'GoTo'. The retcode is OK, but nothing happens. Any ideas what we are missing here?
Regards,
Hans van der Kooij

Thanks Jayanthi,
We had already read the article, but did not interpret it correctly. We found the solution in an SAP OSS note.
We had to use method get_document_handle to get an OLE link and continue from there with OLE. The article however is very brief on that part and has no example.
So for anyone who would like to do the same or simular:
- call method do_document->get_document_handle:
    EXPORTING
       no_flush = ''
    IMPORTING
       error = do_error
       handle = do_handle
       retcode = do_retcode.
- GET PROPERTY OF do_handle-obj 'Application' = do_ole_application.

Hi SDS,
you recieved a http 404 error when trying to access the Sharepoint Web service. Http 404 indicates that the resource is not reachable (cf. HTTP 404 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia). There could be different reasons for that. I'd suggest rubble checking the URL of the Web service first. Try to access it from a browser on you desktop. If the URL is correc. Most likely the SAP system is not able to connect to the URL. This could, for example, be due to some firewall restrictions. You should ask a SAP Basis colleague if they are able to access the URL of the Web service from the server on which the SAP system is running.
