Save ALV report output as excel file in background

Hi all,
As the no. of records is huge and the running time is long, I'd like to modify my program to be able to run in background mode with excel as output..
Is there any method to generate the result list in ALV format and save it as an excel file while running the program in background mode?
And any limitation?
Thanks!

Try to create ALV output to spool in background then try to use any of the below mentioned fm

RSPO_DOWNLOAD_SPOOLJOB
RH_START_EXCEL_WITH_DATA
or
create CSV using OPEN DATASET & TRANSFER

Download ALV result list as excel-file in background job

Dear Experts,
I am looking for a possibily to download the result of an ALV based report as excel-file in a background job. Surely there is a standard function which can be used or at least some hints how to implement this. I searched the forum but couldn't find a thread which was covering this problem exactly.
Thanks in advance
Benjamin

Dear Mr. Krapf,
it is possible to output an ALV list to an Excel file in the background but there are some limitations.
Please consider the following notes:
#7925 Graphics, Upload, Download do not work in backgrnd
#65050 Data types and file formats in files (DATASET)
#145073 - FAQ Report Writer: Excel download
#569537 - Incorrect data during import into Excel
#590126 Sending CSV documents up to Release 4.6
Please be aware that they are all Basis notes. So for more information you might ask in the Basis SDN Forum.

Runtime Error during export ALV Grid to Local File and Print Priview

Hi all,
         While Exporting ALV grid to local file using menu List->export->local file , I m getting following runtime error,
         Field Symbol has not yet been assigned.
Details of Errors:
Program : SAPLKKBL
Include :   LKKBLF99
Module Type : (FORM)
module name : GEN_FIELD_OUT2
So. pls Suggest any good solution.
Thanks & Regards,
Sandip Sonar.

hi
this is happening just because you might have declared that your ALV list should have a checkbox, but defined no field as "checkbox" into your internal table.
and one more thing to check up is that before you call the REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY, you need to fill a few parameters for instance is_layout. This one has a field box_fieldname, in which you have to enter the name of the field of the internal table that will store the 'X' as and when the checkbox is checked.
hope this helps

Export alv grid to local file

Hi all,
         I m displaying records using ALV Grid , I want to export that ALV Grid to Local File ,
using Menu->List->Export->Local File.
       I m able to export it in spreadsheet using option List-> Export->Spreadsheet, but while exporting to local file i m getting short dump with error *Field Symbol Has not yet been Assigned*.
Pls, Suggest any good Solution.
   Thanks & Regards ,
Sandip Sonar.

hi,,,,
In your output are there any empty Columns, Because field Symbol Not assigned generally occurs if any one of your Internal table column is Blank, Just remove that Blank Column and then try it.
Thanks

What happens if you use the export/local file option - does that help at all or can you change the layout? Haven't got access to your release to check.

ALV List output to Excel file

Hi Friends,
I want to save the ALV output as a excel file on local drive.
From the ALV output, I am using menu path : Views --> Microsoft Excel (Ctrl + Shift + F7) to switch from ALV to Excel mode.
It is switched to excel mode but not showing any data in the columns?
If I use the Path: List --> Export --> Local File --> Spread Sheet --> Gave excel file name.
Here, I am not able get data for all columns. Some columns are not being displayed.
What is the problem in this? Is this coding error? Do we need to apply any OSS notes?
Thanks in advance,
Sreeni

fields.
Please try to through some light on it.
Thanks in advance,

Saving Log in SM35 as local excel file

Hi Experts,
I want to save the log which is generated for a LSMW as a local excel file. If I am trying through menu System->List->Save->List, it's coming in disable mode. Is there any way to save the log?
Thanks,
Krishan

Do you have the "Analyze erroneous transactions" option
available to you on your LSMW menu ? If you don't, switch it on using the "Personal Menu" button.
Execute this option (which allows you to choose which fields you would like to display from your LSMW load) and download the results into Excel. This option is good because it only shows you the failed
transactions whereas the LSMW log shows you all transactions and you need to filter through them to find the failed ones.
If this doesn't give you what you require,then just print the logs.When you press print, the system should take you to another screen, you can download this screen to Excel using the =>System =>List =>Save option, or you can press print and download the data from your spool file.
Hope this helps.

How do I save a PDF as an excel file when the PDF is horizontal. Adobe tries to rotate the page, but the data is entered in an horizontal format.

How do I save a PDF as an excel file when the PDF is horizontal. Adobe tries to rotate the page, but the data is entered in an horizontal format.

Thanks for the quick reply. I figured out how to get the desired results by using tagging. For anyone who may reference this post in the future, I went to "Customize" in the top right corner of Adobe, then selected "Create new tool set...", looked under "accessiblity and found the "tag" option. Hit ok, tag is added to the toolbar. Then I highlighted the dataset in the PDF that was relevant to the output format, then clicked "tag", saved as spreadsheet. Sorry I can't provide more details on how tagging works or if there's a more elegant solution available, but I'm sure one's out there.

Facing problem while downloading ALV grid Output into Excel

Hi Guys,
I am facing problem while downloading ALV grid Output into Excel.
It is downloading into excel, but all character columns first and next all quantity columns it is displaying. But I need columns order as it is in the grid.
If I take all columns as characters it works fine. But it will be problem for calculating total, subtotals of quantity columns
Can someone help me regarding this
thanks for your help

Hi,
Open up Excel on your desktop. Goto Tools > Macro > Security.
Make sure that your security is set to Medium (or less). SAP uses OLE automation to run the Excel instance and in Office 2003 (for example), Microsoft has increased their default security setting to High. With the High setting, the output to Excel fails.
Was this your problem? Don't forget those points, either.
check with this wetther it is solved or not.
