Hi Sunil,

When you want to add header details for the records at the time of downloading it to presentation server, Just add the Header Values as the first Row of your internal table and then append other records.

Then use your internal table in 'GUI_DOWNLOAD' FM to download it to presentation server.

Hope this helps your requirement.

Award points if helpful.

Regards,

Ananth

hello,

you can try doing as mentioned above

however, in some cases, the datatype of the internal table may not allow you to entire the text header string that you need

in such cases you can use this method

what i have done here, is to make a simple internal table with text values to insert the text

i used that table with the FM first

then i called the function module again and passed the data

in the second call, i set the append parameter to 'X'.


types: begin of header_type,
  field1(20),
  field2(20),
  field3(20),
 end of header_type.
data: it_header type header_type occurs 0 with header line.

it_header-field1 = 'field_1'.
it_header-field2 = 'field_2'.
it_header-field3 = 'field_3'.
append it_header.

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
  EXPORTING
    filename              = 'c:\test_xls.xls'
    filetype              = 'ASC'
    write_field_separator = 'X'
    DAT_MODE              = 'X'
    TRUNC_TRAILING_BLANKS = 'X'
  TABLES
    data_tab              = it_header.

    append                = 'X'
    write_field_separator = 'X'
    DAT_MODE              = 'X'
    TRUNC_TRAILING_BLANKS = 'X'
  TABLES
    data_tab              = itab.

good

declare the header fields as the character types, before moving the internal table data to the final internal table which will display data to the output try to move the header details to the particular internal table.

thanks
