ALV to Excel

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

I have a requirement to send ALV report as excel file to external receiver. The excel file should be formatted like the ALV list (with all sums….).

Till now to send excel I was using SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1. I assume, that if I will pass to this function proper formatted internal table, I will be able to send a file which will be opened on receiver frontend in format, in which ALV list was designed (?).

Can I download the ALV list to internal table so all the formats, the whole layout, will be kept in excel file?

Thank you

May be create a spool of your ALV and read the spool and send it thru

fm SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1.

Try this way

"1. Call the following fm to read the spool.
CALL FUNCTION 'RSPO_RETURN_ABAP_SPOOLJOB'
"2. Call the following fm to convert the Spool output into XLS format

CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_CONVERT_TO_XLS_FORMAT'
EXPORTING
I_FIELD_SEPERATOR = '|'
I_LINE_HEADER = '-'
I_FILENAME = 'ZTEST.xls'
TABLES
I_TAB_SAP_DATA = i_spool_output
CHANGING
i_tab_converted_data = i_spool_excel

hi

good

SAP Recommends the Use of Report RSTXPDFT4 to Convert spool to PDF. You can download your PDF to Presentation Server also using this report.

Hi all,

PLEASE read the question. i know how to send an email, the problem is i need to send it formatted like ALV list (with sums) as excel attachement. The idea was to send it first to the sap-spool, get it from there, convert to excel and send. i know how to read spool, but with FM SAP_CONVERT_TO_XLS_FORMAT i am not able to convert the spool to xls. The changing parameter of this FM remains empty after function call. What can be wrong? i call the FM with parameters from the anwser above.

thank you.
