GUI_ Downlaod Error

[Former Member]

Hi Guru's

I am trying to down load fields from different tables from SAP into XLS sheet

but the function module is not calling correctly.... when i execute program i got the following error pls can you help me out

Function Module called incorrectly….

The Call to the function module “ GUI_Download” is Incorrect.

The function Module interface allows you to specify only fields of a particular type under “FILENAME”. The field “W_FILE” specified here is a different field type

Thanks

Hey, Yugi.

Try the FM 'XXL_FULL_API', great one.

it allows you to menipulate data with excel's options.

It's easy to use.

If you want to use gui_download try the csv or txt format.

Best regards,

Make sure W_FILE is declared like this:

DATA: W_FILE TYPE STRING.
