Sending ALV result as Excel file in email and in background mode

Hello,
My need was to developp a generic program to send ALV result in a Excel file by email (as we have already a program to send any spool in PDF format).
I found package SALV_EXPORT which contains very interesting things.
I have done a program with following selection-screen parameters:
- Name of a program to call
- execution variant linked to this program
- several output options (mail, save as local file, save on application server...)
data: g_guid type guid_32.
data : l_xxml_data type xstring.
g_guid = cl_salv_export_db_storage=>create_guid( ).
export l_mode = 'M' to memory id 'ALV_EXTRACT_MODE'.
export l_guid = g_guid to memory id 'ALV_EXTRACT_GUID'.
* call the program with its variant
submit (p_prog)
using selection-set p_vari
and return.
* Get back the data
l_xxml_data = cl_salv_export_db_storage=>import_xmlstring( guid = g_guid ).
Here, we have a XML data (ALVXML or XML for Excel, i don't know) which is the ALV result with the layout applied (either the alv layout specified on selection-screen of called program or default layout).
This solution is so simple that i wonder that it's not documented (or i haven't found the documentation).
If anybody knows any problem with this solution, has anyu remarks or want to add some enhancement, don't hesitate to post..
Hope this help
Christophe

A review of comments in ALV driver code shows references to "Mendocino" which I believe is now called 'Duet". It's part of SAP and Microsoft Office integration suite:
http://www.sap.com/solutions/duet/index.epx
I have used this method of extracting ALV reports in the past but I don't think it's released for general use.

Hi Nirmal,
I have done the same in my previous organisation.For this particular solution you need to ask your basis guys to upgrade the support package so that BCS classes could be available in the system.

My mac is converting Word and Excel files into Pages and Numbers files when I click to open them (or download and open them) from an email. I do I get this to stop? It's really aggravating.

My mac is converting Word and Excel files into Pages and Numbers files when I click to open them from an email. Downloading them and opening them doesn't help. How do I make this stop? I don't use iLife and don't want to; my clients are using Office and it's easier for me, except when I have to copy and paste everything they send me from an iLife file back to Word and Excel. Help!!! It's like Apple has become Microsoft, forcing us to use their apps.

Do you have Word & Excel installed, if yes, navigate in the finder to an example of each, right click and select 'Get Info' scroll down to 'Open With' and select the appropriate program, check the box that says 'Change All'

Thanks,
Ravee...

Hello Vinod,
1.I am getting the empty columns betweeen my output.
I am having 16 columns in the ALV output,but i got 19 columns in my excel file.
2.In the Place of sub totals i am getting astericks.
Generally there is no possibility to download the sub totals.i am using LIST->EXPORT->SPREADSHEET.
I am having the sub totals in my output.
*You would have noticed the' * ' for sub total and ' ** ' for grand totals values.*These sub total & total values are not downloaded but these asterisks are carried to excel file.
3.On the top of the records downloaded,"DYNAMIC LIST DISPLAY" is found.I want to avoid this text on the top.
I am using the application tool bar icon only.Still i am getting the same.

Save alv report as excel file directly from program

Hello guys,
I require this in my work.
I want to save the ALV report tat is to be generated in the filepath that is given in the selection screen (want to save it locally eg: my windows desktop) and in the layout which is also given in the selection screen.
your comments will be very much appreciated.
Thanks in Advance,

Hi Johny,
Actually we have an option to download report output in ALV but it does not download the specified on Selection-screen. For this Create on button for Excell download by setting PF status. and use USER_COMMAND event to trigger when u click on the button and download data to specified path.
1.
declare events table like this.
data :
      i_events type slis_t_event,
      w_events like line of i_events.
2.
Build events table .
w_events-name = 'USER_COMMAND' .
w_events-form = 'USER_COMMAND' .
append w_events to i_events.
clear w_events.
w_events-name = 'PF_STATUS_SET' .
w_events-form = 'PF_STATUS_SET' .
append w_events to i_events.
clear w_events.
3.
pass this events table through REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY.
4.
USER_COMMAND and PF_STATUS_SET call back subroutines should be like this in your case. These are nowhere called using PERFORM statement in ur program.
5.
PF_STATUS_SET' subroutine should be like this.
*&      Form pf_status_set
form pf_status_set    using extab type slis_t_extab.
set pf-status 'STATUS1' excluding g_extab.
"If you write like above Standard status will be gone.
"For that u have to copy standard status of any ALV program which has standard status.
"1. goto SE41 tcode. give program SAPLKKBL and status :STANDARD_FULLSCREEN .
2.Click on the Copy status button below program is ur program and status ur program status.
3. After that create your own button for Excel downlod.
endform.                    "pf_status_set
6.
USER_COMMAND subroutine should be like this.
*&      Form user_command
form user_command using ucomm like sy-ucomm
                  selfield type slis_selfield.
case ucomm .

Send query results to a file using Toad

Hello,
I have a select statement that generates xml rows, and I need to send the results to a file. I am using TOAD VI. The rows generate ok but when I right click and choose the save as option all I end up with is an empty file.
Is there a way I can just send the results directly to a file instead of to the screen?
Thanks.

How to save query result in excel file

Hi all,
How to save query result in excel file from sql*plus tool.
thank you

Do you really need an Excel file (binary) or a simple CSV?
If you just need a CSV then search for DUMP_CSV at http://asktom.oracle.com or at this forum
If you need formatting and/or multiple worksheets then you can use free tools like
https://xml-spreadsheet.samplecode.oracle.com/ or https://exceldocumenttype.samplecode.oracle.com/

Excel Files become "Broken" and cannot be opened

Our environment is as follows:
SharePoint 2013 server, web application running in 2010 mode. Our users are primarily on thin clients in a 64-bit Citrix environment running Office 2013 applications. We use a redirected desktop/my documents on a network drive so that users will
have their documents and settings on any computer they log into.
The issue we've run into is that sometimes one of the Excel files becomes "broken" and will no longer open. This seems to be related to when a user has the file open for long periods of time and loses connectivity or if the user's Excel /
session crashes. When the file becomes broken, the symptoms are:
Open document from SharePoint and Excel splash screen reads:

We've had problems determining "who" broke it, but the result is the same - nobody is able to open it, whether using Excel2013, Excel2010, or the Excel Services thru the SharePoint "view in browser" option.
Our terminal servers reboot nightly, we've tried rebooting the 2 SharePoint application servers and the SharePoint SQL server to no avail. It seems like the file is stuck waiting for itself. In some cases, we've found that older versions of the
file can be restored (generally a few versions back) but when versioning is not enabled then that possibility is out.
We cannot seem to resolve where the issue lies at it's core or how to resolve it. This happens much more frequently for the documents that users keep open for long periods of time making modifications to them, but we suspect that's because they are
just more likely to have a SharePoint document open if their computer or Excel client crashes.

They don't want us (the dealers) to edit the spreadsheet, but they do want us to read it. It's their pricelist, they wouldn't sell a lot of equipment if we couldn't see how much it costs! The point is that Numbers won't even open a spreadsheet that is edit protected, not read protected. This is a major issue, it should at the very least tell me I can open or import the sheet as a read only.
Excel will always open the spreadsheet, it just can't make changes to it.
For right now, when I need to get information from the pricelist in Excel, I have to copy and paste the info from the edit protected page to another blank sheet. This is a royal PITA because the Excel pricelist has 50 plus pages. I have been officially told to do that by my manufacturer. But they won't give anyone the password to unprotect the edit function of the sheet. Go figure.

I saved an Excel file yesterday afternoon, and when I opened it today, all the formatting was lost.

How to convert a file of emails and the attachments to pdf?

In adobe pro XI, how do you convert a file of emails AND their attachments to pdf?

Unfortunately, that did not work either. I am thinking this may not be possible (at least with 10.1.3.4). What I was hoping for was that I could audit the presentation catalog groups and users. I want to be able to get a list of all the users and the groups they are listed in. Again, this would be helpful so we do not need to keep an external record. If we are removing access to a user or updating the group, we want to make sure we remove them from all applicable groups (Settings>Administration>Manage Presentation Catalog Groups and Users)

How to store files in shared-folder in background mode

Hello All,
My requirement seems to be simple but I have tried many ways in achieving this, but failed. So require the help in accomplishing this task.
Requirement
I have to create a program in SE38 which will create a internal table with data in it in .XML format(which I can achieve).
My requirement is this .XML file needs to be placed in a shared-folder in "BACKGROUND MODE".
I have tried using GUI_DOWNLOAD function module, but this FM only runs in Foreground mode and fails in Background mode. I have tried convincing my client that I will keep the file in Application Server as it is achievable using OPEN DATASET statements, but they are not willing to accept this.
So can you please help me in achieving this task as I am not getting any solution how to keep the file in Shared-folder in BACKGROUND mode itself(not Foreground).
Best Regards,
Tousif

Hi Sanjeev,
I have just used normal GUI_DOWNLOAD FM. Please find my sample code below

When I run this program in foreground mode, the file gets saved(here in the above example I have just used my desktop path. but the actual requirement is to store file in shared-folder i-e Network Drive).
But when i run the same program in background mode, No file is getting stored.
