Hi Viraylab,

to download this the procedure:

you can use the FM 'EXCEL_OLE_STANDARD_DAT ' for this purpose.

this FM 'EXCEL_OLE_STANDARD_DAT' can be used to start Excel with a new sheet and transfer data from an internal table to the sheet.

Here are some of the parameters:

file_name: Name and path of the Excel worksheet file e.g. ?C:TEMPZTEST?

data_tab: Name of the internal table that should be uploaded to Exvcel

fieldnames: Internal tabel with column headers

How to build the field names table:

data: begin of i_fieldnames occurs 20,

field(60), end of i_fieldnames.

i_fieldnames-field = ?This is column 1?. append i_fieldnames-field.

i_fieldnames-field = ?This is column 2?. append i_fieldnames-field.

to upload follow this:

OPEN DATASET dsn FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE.

DO.

READ DATASET dsn INTO itab-field.

IF sy-subrc = 0.

APPEND itab.

ELSE.

EXIT.

ENDIF.

ENDDO.
