Error while opening the EXCEL Sheet from a Report Program

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am getting an error saying 'SYLK: File Format is not valid' when my program is trying to open an excel sheet. I am using the function module WS_EXCEL to download it to excel sheet.

Following is the code:

• Excel download

types: begin of t_excel,

c01(20),

c02(20),

c03(20),

c04(20),

c05(70),

c06(20),

c07(20),

c08(20),

c09(20),

c10(20),

end of t_excel.

data: a00_excel type standard table of t_excel.

concatenate 'C:\' sy-repid sy-uzeit 'FILE01' '.xls' into z_fname.

condense z_fname no-gaps.

call function 'WS_EXCEL'

exporting

filename = z_fname

tables

data = a00_excel

exceptions

others = 1.

if sy-subrc ne 0.

message e019(zsd).

Download to Excel failed.

endif.

a00_excel contains the data that is to be downloaded into the excel sheet. I used the same code in the other program it is working fine. If you see in the type declaration for C5 its 70 characters, i tried putting it as same as others to 20... still it doesnt work.

Thank You,

Suresh

Hi Rich,

Please try by adding the following code

clear x00_excel.

x00_excel-c01 = 'IDoc Num'.

x00_excel-c02 = 'IDoc Date'.

x00_excel-c03 = 'Delivery Date'.

x00_excel-c04 = 'P.O. Number'.

x00_excel-c05 = 'EDI Type'.

x00_excel-c06 = 'Sold-To No'.

x00_excel-c07 = 'Sales Org'.

x00_excel-c08 = 'Dist Chnl'.

x00_excel-c09 = 'Division'.

x00_excel-c10 = 'Total Weight'.

append x00_excel to a00_excel.

Thank You,

Suresh

Hi Suresh,

Can't explain it but changing the 'D' to 'd' in IDoc worked for me.. ie the following

clear x00_excel.

x00_excel-c01 = 'Idoc Num'.

x00_excel-c02 = 'Idoc Date'.

x00_excel-c03 = 'Delivery Date'.

x00_excel-c04 = 'P.O. Number'.

x00_excel-c05 = 'EDI Type'.

x00_excel-c06 = 'Sold-To No'.

x00_excel-c07 = 'Sales Org'.

x00_excel-c08 = 'Dist Chnl'.

x00_excel-c09 = 'Division'.

x00_excel-c10 = 'Total Weight'.

append x00_excel to a00_excel.

may be ID means something to the Excel document..

Check the format of sy-uzeit. You may not be able to save it with special characters.
