Issue in downloading excel from SM37

Question

Hi Experts,
I am facing a weird behavior in SM37, I am not able to download all pages of a particular program in excel format on the other side I am able to download 100-500 pages of spool of another programs. In that program's spool, when I am downloading other formats except spreadsheet, all pages are downloading without any error. There is an issue in spreadsheet downloading only.
I have also created a program for that particular program spool's. But facing the same issue.
Below is my code:
REPORT ZSPOOL_DOWNLOAD_XLS.

Hello Shubhanshu,
where in your report is something transformed in XLS file? I canot see that. You got your spool number and with help of function RSPO_RETURN_ABAP_SPOOLJOB, your spool list will be transformed into internal table. This internal table will be saved as ASCII then, but no XLS in your coding.
And then the GUI download function deals with ASCII rows, but not with pages. The number of pages when you import ASCII rows in an excel file is definitely NOT the same like in your spool! I do not know any way to compare the page numbers..why so? It goes about the data rows.
Did you have a look at your internal table IT_XLS_SPOOL, if any data row from your spool is listed there?
