Problem with header download using GUI_DOWNLOAD

Question

Hi folks,
Iam facing a particular problem while downloading an internal table to excel file using GUI_DOWNLOAD and file type as 'DBF'.
Once i download the file, iam getting an automatic header with contents as "F1, F2, F3,...." for all the columns. But, i want to put my own header there. Is there any way out ?
Thanks and Regards,
Vijay.

hi,
may be this code will be helpful to u
Just take one field in header(internal table) of type c. and push all the field headings into it.
and give that internal table to fieldnames it will resolve the problem.
DATA:BEGIN OF HEADER OCCURS 0,
      F1(30) TYPE C ,
     END OF HEADER.
DATA:BEGIN OF ITEM OCCURS 0,
       IT1(30) TYPE C,
       IT2(3) TYPE C,
       IT3(4) TYPE C,
     END OF ITEM.
   HEADER-F1 = 'NAME'.
   APPEND HEADER.
   CLEAR HEADER.
   HEADER-F1 = 'AGE'.
   APPEND HEADER.
   CLEAR HEADER.
   HEADER-F1  = 'STAT'.
   APPEND HEADER.
   CLEAR HEADER.
ITEM-IT1 = 'MANOHAR'.
ITEM-IT2 = '124'.
ITEM-IT3 = 'T'.
APPEND ITEM.
CLEAR ITEM.
ITEM-IT1 = 'SAI'.
ITEM-IT2 = '24'.
ITEM-IT3 = 'T'.
APPEND ITEM.
CLEAR ITEM.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
  EXPORTING
    filename                        = 'C:\FILE13.XLS'
   FILETYPE                        = 'DBF'
  tables
    data_tab                        = ITEM
    FIELDNAMES                      = HEADER.
