Background Run problem

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have a report, that runs normaly at online mode, but doesnt run in background mode.

I think that the problem has to do with the f.m "MS_EXCEL_OLE_STANDARD_DAT", but i am not sure.

I attach my code for further details.

does anyone know how can i by pass this problem or another f.m so that my report can run in background ?

Regards.

Hi,

Any Logic written in the report related to interaction with the Presentation server to download/upload the data in the sap will not run in the background.

You can use the application server/FTP server to serve your purpose.

OK, so what F.M should i use for downloading data in background ?

You might create a file on application server (to the predefined folder path) using OPEN DATASET, TRANSFER, and CLOSE DATASET statements. This way you will create text file on application server which can be opened in Excel later on.
