Procedure/sample code to download alv output in HTM format & mail to user.

Question

Hello Experts,
I've a requirement to run the Alv report at background. But i need to download the alv output in HTM fomat because it has subtotal values & look wise downloaded HTM format will be same as that of ALV output. Then send the attachment through mail to users. I'm not intersted in  downloading  internal table dierctly to HTM format.
Will the code for alv display & downloading in HTM format & forwarding via email  is all done in one single  program or in 2 differnt programs . pls guide me on this.
I'm using FM REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY to display output with subtotals.
Pls anyone there suggest me the steps to download ALV output in HTM format & the forward the same  to user ID through Lotus notes.

Hi,
This can be achieved without coding .
Fore ground Scenario:
1. Downloading as HTM . In foreground you can do this by using Export---> Local file
option in ALV grid.
Background Scenario:
2. In background while sending mail , You have to achieve the same through customisation settings as wexplained below.
In SM36 -- > Spool List Recipient, give the reciepient id and click on copy. Now when the Background job will be finished,
the reciepient mentioned above will recieve the mail , but in ALI format.
To convert the same to HTM format, you need to do customisation changes in SCOT
goto SCOT>Expant the node INT>Double click on Email-->Beside Internet we have SET tab , click on that -->
select the radio button " all formats except the following ">In the near by box type ALI>then click on the tick Mark.
Then go to SCOT>Settings>Conversion Rules-->there
create a new row with, Format->ALI , To Format->HTM , Ranking 1, FM -> SX_OBJECT_CONVERT_ALI_HTM.
Now when the mail will be sent, it will not go in ALI, but in HTM format.
Hope this helps you out.
