Export to excel using service for office 2007

Question

Hi All,
I am using a service to download the opport search result data into excel. Inside the code, it gets all the data and opens one window of excel download and closes automatically after few second. And finally does not download anything.
It is working for office 2003, not for office 2007.I am following piece of code.Please help me how to achieve the same.
DATA: l_xstring TYPE xstring,
      app_type type string,
      app_type_c(50) type c.
app_type = 'APPLICATION/MSEXCEL; charset=utf-16le'.
      app_type_c = app_type.
      CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING'
        EXPORTING
          text     = output      "my data to be exported into excel
          mimetype = app_type_c
        IMPORTING
          buffer   = l_xstring.
      CONCATENATE  cl_abap_char_utilities=>byte_order_mark_little
                   l_xstring
                   INTO l_xstring IN BYTE MODE.
server->response->set_header_field( name =  'content-type'
                                    value = app_type ).
server->response->delete_header_field( name = if_http_header_fields=>cache_control ).
server->response->delete_header_field( name = if_http_header_fields=>expires ).
server->response->delete_header_field( name = if_http_header_fields=>pragma ).
server->response->set_header_field( name = 'Content-Disposition'
                                    value =  'attachment;filename=Opportunity_Result.xls'  ).
CLEAR lv_length.
lv_length = XSTRLEN(  l_xstring ).
server->response->set_data( data =  l_xstring
                             length = lv_length ).

Maybe it's possible, but I doubt it.
Reason is that you're asking the URL to run the report and then once done export out the values and I just don't think the 'i' - or now 'g' versions support this.
This was why the command line interface with the Desktop version was so popular as this is exactly the kind of thing you can do, plus much more.
I checked the documentation for Plus and can find nothing about doing this in the URL. Maybe someone will say otherwise, but with Plus I don't think it's possible.
