Translation of heading in Excel file.

Question

Hi frnd,
My requirment is to send a report in excel format to the customer in customer language.
The headings of each coulmns are translated to customer language format.
I defined the column heading in Text symbols.
Goto>text elements->text symbols.
I have maintained the translation for each countries using:
se63>translation->R3 enterprise->short text->S3 abap text---->REPT text elements.
Here i give the object name as my report name and my desired languages.
i could able to maintain the laguage.
I am reading the heading using CALL FUNCTION 'LXE_OBJ_TEXT_PAIR_READ_RPT4'.
My code:-
y_lv_lang = y_wa_cust-LANGU.
  refresh y_it_label.
  CALL FUNCTION 'LXE_OBJ_TEXT_PAIR_READ_RPT4'
    EXPORTING
      t_r3_lang       = y_lv_lang
      s_r3_lang       = y_lv_lang
      o_r3_lang       = y_lv_lang
      objtype         = y_k_obtyp
      objname         = y_k_objn
     READ_ONLY       = 'X'
  IMPORTING
    PSTATUS         =
    tables
      lt_pcx_s1       = y_it_label
Here the y_it_label will contain the translated colomn heading where as y_k_objn is the prog name ,y_k_obtyp is the object type which contain 'RPT4' and y_lv_lang contain the language.
I am able to send report in excel format in customer language via mail. But when the customer is of Russia and ukrane the columns hedaing are printed as
Ex:-
'Material' is printed as    > 4  8 7 4 5 ; 8 O insted of of the russian language 'Код изделия'
when my customer recieves the report as an excel file it gets the coulmn heading as this type wong character.

Hi Sowmya,
when you refer to my Excel Export tutorial on SDN: <a href="https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/x/0mQ">Exporting Table Data Using On-Demand Streams - SAP NetWeaver 7.0</a>:
use <b>LinkedHashMap</b> instead of <i>HashMap</i>:
  private Map getProductColumnInfos() {
    Map columnInfosMap = new LinkedHashMap();
    columnInfosMap.put(IPrivateTableCompBasketView.IProductsElement.QUANTITY, "Quantity");
    columnInfosMap.put(IPrivateTableCompBasketView.IProductsElement.ARTICLE, "Article");
    columnInfosMap.put(IPrivateTableCompBasketView.IProductsElement.COLOR, "Color");
    columnInfosMap.put(IPrivateTableCompBasketView.IProductsElement.PRICE, "Price in EURO");
    columnInfosMap.put(
      IPrivateTableCompBasketView.IProductsElement.TOTAL__PER__ARTICLE,
      "Total Per Article In Euro");
    return columnInfosMap;
This keeps the order of key-displaytext-pairs passed by the client (table component) to the service (excel export component) stable.
