PARAMETER p_infile LIKE rlgrap-filename DEFAULT 'C:TEMPZMPR.xls'.
DATA : lin TYPE i.
DATA: itab LIKE alsmex_tabline OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
START-OF-SELECTION.
  CALL FUNCTION 'ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE'
    EXPORTING
      filename                = p_infile
      i_begin_col             = '1'
      i_begin_row             = '1'
      i_end_col               = '1'
      i_end_row               = '28000'
    TABLES
      intern                  = itab
    EXCEPTIONS
      inconsistent_parameters = 1
      upload_ole              = 2
      OTHERS                  = 3.
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    MESSAGE text-009 TYPE 'S'. "Problem uploading Excel Spreadsheet
