How to execute Excel Marco from SAP using Office Integration Classes

Question

Is there a way to trigger Excel Macro from SAP? I tried using method CALL METHOD document->execute_macro
of i_oi_document_proxy  but it does not work.
Thanks

Try this:
If you are using OLE to populate the Excel Sheet then, then yes you can run a macro.
  CALL METHOD OF OBJ_EX_APP 'Run'
       EXPORTING #1 = MACROSTR.
Adding a Field Exit
To add a field exit first find the data element that is linked to the screen field- the screen number and program
Run program RSMODPRF. You will need to create two function modules one FIELD_EXIT_MEPO_VENDOR and
FIELD_EXIT_MEPO_VENDOR_A
FIELD_EXIT_MEPO_VENDOR should have code simply of input = ouput.
FIELD_EXIT_MEPO_VENDOR_A should have the code for whatever the functionality is required
Go back to RSMODPRF and run the program without parameters. Use the push buttons to assign the screen, 'A' and program. Use the drop down to activate the field list.
This should now work, but there is no way of debugging. For further information look at OSS 29377
program zzdirlist.
for AIX this method also works.
DATA: BEGIN OF TABL OCCURS 0,
      TEXT(80) TYPE C,
      END OF TABL.
DATA: COMMAND(256) TYPE C.
COMMAND = 'ls'.
CALL FUNCTION 'RFC_REMOTE_PIPE' DESTINATION 'SERVER_EXEC'
EXPORTING COMMAND = COMMAND
READ = 'X'
TABLES PIPEDATA = TABL.
LOOP AT TABL.
   WRITE:/ TABL-text.
ENDLOOP.
