GUI Download Chinese Character to Excel gibberish character

Hi Experts,
I'm facing a problem where I'm using FM gui_download to save Chinese Character into Excel file.
Upon double click to open the excel file, funny character shows up.
But if I were to open the same file using a blank Ms Excel application (Go to File->Open->choose file),
Excel will prompt me to select a proper encoding (GB2312 in this case), and the Chinese character can be seen thereafter.
But, my user doesn't want to go through this.
I've browsed through the forum and someone has posted about this before and it's unanswered.
How to download the chinese character using GUI_DOWNLOAD - unanswered
And, Re: GUI_DOWNLOAD give 2 bytes for each chinese character - I need fixed len which is not related to my problem.
Below is my code:
DATA: lv_codepage   TYPE cpcodepage,
        lv_char_cpage TYPE abap_encod,
        lv_encoding   TYPE abap_encod.

Please help. Does this has something to do with utf-8 encoding?
Thank you.
Thanks,

Hi Nitesh,
Is there a way to check the Excel codepage? Do you mean by codepage = 936 for GB2312 encoding?
Anyway, this issue is fixed. Issue is related to unicode system.
Below codes for gui_download solved the problem.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
    EXPORTING
      filename                = p_file
      filetype                = 'DAT'
      codepage                = '4103'
      replacement             = '#'
      write_field_separator   = 'X'
      write_bom               = 'X'
    TABLES
      data_tab                = i_data_cnvr
      fieldnames              = i_data_head
Codepage = 4103 for utf-16 Unicode system.
Write-bom = 'X' to write Byte-Order-Mark.
Thanks,

Downloading chinese character

I am downloading vendor names using dataset.
Sap is non unicode. I am loggin on in english language (EN)
In the program i am writing open dataset encoding UTF-8.
But the vendor names in chinese doesnot download in correct format.
What do i need to do?

When you download in Excel, the character formats are taken from the Front end, besure that the chinese font is installed in your system, i.e. you OS should support the lanagugae format you are downloading to.

Header in Excel when downloading using GUI DOWNLOAD

Hi,
I have a requirement where i need to download data from table into an excel sheet on a location in PC. I used FM 'GUI DOWNLOAD' for this purpose. Now, i need a header to be displayed in the excel when i download. The header should contain a date which is entered during the execution as a screen input. How to display this date as a header in the excel sheet when using GUI DOWNLOAD.

Hi,
If you only want the header to be displayed in the first row, you can do as suggested by Ikshula.
If you want a real excel header, you can use OLE and set the property ActiveSheet.PageSetup.LeftHeader (or CenterHeader, or RightHeader) to the value "&D". This will add the current system date as header (you can of course pass any other value between the " ").

Kindly help !

We need to include CODE PAGE in the FM. This will help SAP to under the language which you are uploading.
Use GUI_UPLOAD FM to upload the excel sheet. This has a parameter CODE PAGE, which you can pass to the FM.

Get Directory name in Chinese and Chinese chars to Excel

Hi,
Question:1
I use "cl_gui_frontend_services=>directory_browse"
to get the Directory name from the presentation server.
It works good for the directory names in English.
However I need to perform a similar operation when the
user has logged in "Chinese" at OS level,
say Chinese Version of Windows. In this case this FM
doesn't get properly the directory names in chinese.
This might be because the directory name is of type
string. is there any other way to achieve this?
SAP Ver: 4.7
Question:2
I need to download chinese description to an excel file from an internal table. I could able to achieve this when I use Chinese version of windows and log into SAP in 'ZH'.
I agree that to see the chinese characters properly we may need to log in the chinese version of Windows. But I don't understand the reason that why do we need to log into chinese version of SAP? i.e 'ZH'. I have decla=red the description field as character in the internal table declaration and in the FM 'GUI_DOWNLOAD', I specify the file type as 'ASC'. Any clues on this to get this executed being logged in EN version of SAP?
Thanks,
Siva

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.

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.

Download alv report in excel format in Linux

Hi All,
I am working on SAP GUI for Java in Linux PC. I have installed
Open Office.
After executing an alv report there is no spreadsheet option
to download the report in excel format .
Also, when doing Save as Local File -> Spreadsheet ,
the report is not downloaded in proper format.
So, how to download the alv reports in excel format ?

Hi Vinod ,
Save as Local File -> Spreadsheet
It will ask for Directory and file name with .xls format . Give proper name e.g. test.xls and save, and after saving file right click on the file and click on Open with "OpenOffice.org calc".
It will definetly work.

GUI download, how to retain format of decimal places

Hi everyone!
I have a program that downloads data to excel file using GUI Download. The values of the amount in the ALV display are 11.90, 11.90- which is correct because it has two decimal places. But the problem now occurs in the excel file. The values are now 11.9, 11.9-.
Do you know of any method that will retain the format of the values when it is already in the excel file.
The format of my decimal notation is 1,234,567.89.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you!
But I need to have the format of the numbers in the excel the same as the format in the ALV without changing the format of the cells in the excel file. It has to be changed in the program.
Actually there are also amounts that are being displayed in excel file with 2 decimal places the same as the ALV display. But some of the amounts were changed when it comes to the excel file, and I don't know why this happens.
Thanks.

Edited by: Vinod Iyer on Jan 8, 2008 11:51 AM

The problem of course is that you can't actually call up EXCEL on a Linux machine so such XXL functions as call function 'ALV_XXL_CALL' will not work.
I don't think SAP has OPEN OFFICE integration -- and even if you use EXCEL via the Linux Cross Over Office it is unlikely to work.
You might need to fiddle around with the internal file format yourself before saving it as a local file.
For EXCEL 2007 you actually have a better chance since if you save in TRUE EXCEL 2007 format the data is saved in a type of XML file.
You can read about the EXCEL 2007 new file formats on the M$ site. Note however that you will need to download the EXCEL 2007 file viwer to read the file with earlier versions of EXCEL.
(You can use EXCEL 2007 in "compatability" mode but using an XML file IMO seems a better option).
If you use a lot of EXCEL functionality probably the best option is to install Windows as a VM on your linux machine (VMWARE/PARALLELS/VMBOX etc) and then run the standard SAPGUI from the Windows VM.
Probably not the answer you want but it's the best I can do.
