Control Excel options from SAP

[former_member261876]

Hi Experts,

In excel I want to add the expiry date from ABAP code.

I am generating the excel and at the time of generation I want it to restrict to some people which I am able to do

using function ADD of excel--> permission

In the F1 of function ADD it is mentioned that we can pass 3 variables

--> Email

--> permission type

--> expiration date

I tried various format of date but this is not working.

When i call the bewlo mentioned code, I am able to add the user restriction

CALL METHOD OF w_permission 'Add' = w_usrperm

EXPORTING

#1 = email

#2 = 1.

when i try to use the 3rd parameter, it fails and doesn't even add the user restriction.

CALL METHOD OF w_permission 'Add' = w_usrperm

EXPORTING

#1 = email

#2 = 1

#3 = sy-datum.

can you help me on this.

Regards,

Yadesh

try to pass the date with the following format:

write sy-datum to lv_datum DD/MM/YYYY.

(change the format DD/MM/YYYY according to your regional settings)

if it doesnt work then try

concatentate '#' lv_datum '#' into lv_value.

in Excel some date values must be specified with # around... but I'm not sure if it is the case for you

I have already tried this, but this haven't solved the issue.
