excel download at given path

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have a query. Actually i am working on a BDC.

In a selection screen, I am giving an input field where user can give the path from where he wants to upload the data from an excel file. I have given F4 help at this field. But the user can enter manually also.

I have given the provision of downloading an excel file template also on click of a pushbutton

so that he can enter the data to be uploaded in that if he dont know the structure. For this I am using FM 'MS_EXCEL_OLE_STANDARD_DAT'.

So when he'll give the path and click on pushbutton, an excel file will be created at the given path.

My problem is if I am giving wrong path, and clicking on pushbutton, its giving a dump. May be some exception is getting raised in the FM MS_EXCEL_OLE_STANDARD_DAT.

Please help me in this.

Regards

Hi...just giv a break point b4 this perticular FM. Then execute the FM and see wat is the value of sy-subrc.

Then u have to handle the exception manually..Like..belo...

after the FM write the below syntax....

IF sy-subrc EQ 1.

MESSAGE i999 WITH 'File cant be opened'.

LEAVE LIST-processing.

ELSEIF sy-subrc EQ 2.

MESSAGE i999 WITH 'File already exists;Delete the file and try again'.

LEAVE LIST-processing.

ELSEIF sy-subrc EQ 3.

MESSAGE i999 WITH 'File write error'.

:

:

:

:

ENDIF.

then u can avoid the dump

Hi

Yes I tried doing that only.

Below was the FM that I had called.

CALL FUNCTION 'MS_EXCEL_OLE_STANDARD_DAT'

EXPORTING

file_name = lv_file

data_sheet_name = 'DATA'

TABLES

data_tab = li_data

fieldnames = gi_header

EXCEPTIONS

file_not_exist = 1

filename_expected = 2

communication_error = 3

ole_object_method_error = 4

ole_object_property_error = 5

invalid_pivot_fields = 6

download_problem = 7

OTHERS = 8.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno

WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.

ENDIF.

It was was creating the file and giving runtime error as Message_type_unkown. SY_SUBRC for this was coming as 4. So i tried displaying message under the check for SY_SUBRC = 4.

I was displaying the message 'Path Not Found' but it is giving the message as 'Vendor not specified'. I dont knw the reason. I tried debugging it also but didn't get it.

Do you have clue for this?

May be you are getting exception FILE_NOT_EXIST in dump.

its a fm bahaviour you must need to provide correct file name.else handle this exception by giving message.
