Gui_Download - Suppress leading zero in EXCEL

Question

Hello,
in my scenario I need to build an excel file in which some of the information they need to be displayed in excel with the leading 0 in front (type-lqua lgort 0701 ) thing does not happen in my view.
I create the Excel file like this:
   CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
     EXPORTING
= BIN_FILESIZE
       FILENAME = filename
       FILETYPE = 'ASC'
APPEND = ''
      WRITE_FIELD_SEPARATOR = 'X'
     TABLES
       DATA_TAB = tb_out
I have read in some posts that just insert a character " ' "   to show everything as text, however, this does not fit in my case because my file is the input to another application (not mine) that reads the file with the FM' ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE '
How can I view the file directly without suppressing leading 0 ?
Thanks in advance

try this
instead of gui_download use this to download into excell file.
DATA: XL_itab type alsmex_tabline occurs 0 with header line.
CALL FUNCTION 'ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE'
    EXPORTING
      FILENAME    = FILENAM
      I_BEGIN_COL = 1
      I_BEGIN_ROW = 2
      I_END_COL   = 3
      I_END_ROW   = 5000
    TABLES
      INTERN      = xl_itab.
* EXCEPTIONS
* INCONSISTENT_PARAMETERS = 1
* UPLOAD_OLE = 2
* OTHERS = 3 .
  IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
* MESSAGE 'DATA UPLOADED SUCCESSFULLY' TYPE 'I'.
  ENDIF.
  loop at xl_itab.
    case xl_itab-col.
      when '1'.
        <your workarea-fieldname> = xl_itab-value.
      when '2'.
         <your workarea-fieldname>  = xl_itab-value.
      when '3'.
         <your workarea-fieldname>  = xl_itab-value.
    endcase.
    at end of row.
      append<work area> to <internal table>.
      clear <workarea>.
    endat.
  endloop.
