ws_excel internally uses WS_DOWNLOAD and WS_execute.

So you can use GUI_DOWNLAOD and WS_EXECUTE as an alternative to that.

hi,

see the class documentation for 'CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES'

you can find many replacements there.

Alternative procedure: GUI_DOWNLOAD and then execute

CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>EXECUTE
