excel format

[Former Member]

I have a program that downloads a list of employee numbers that starts with 0. As I debug the program, I do get the first '000123'. After the intenal table passed to WS_DOWNLOAD and check the excel, there's no zero in it. I tried to open the file in Notepad and there are zero's on the first digit.

I can't use other call function like gui_download since it's not available in SAP 4.0. I also tried OLE2 and it is still the same.

Is it really SAP4.0 can't set it to excel? Should I ask the user to manually set the format of the employee numbers?

Check with below program :

It downloads leading zero's into excel file :

REPORT ZTEST3 line-size 400.

DATA : V_CHAR(1) TYPE C VALUE ''''.

data : v_field(12) type c.

data : begin of itab occurs 0,

fld1(12) type c,

end of itab.

start-of-selection.

v_field = '0000012345'.

CONCATENATE V_CHAR V_FIELD INTO V_FIELD.

itab-fld1 = v_field.

append itab.

CALL FUNCTION 'WS_DOWNLOAD'

Hi,

before downloading check itab for values with leading zeroes if they are not there, then use conversion input exit to convert the same and move it a separate field and display

Hi,

Basically it has nothing to do with additional zeros but it is mainly due to tabs that are set for sap, notepa and excel formats so i think its not a matter of worry.

Pls reward points.

give the <b>FILETYPE as DBF</b> and checkout if it works
