How to align the heading with data?

[Former Member]

Please see this sample program. How do you make the heading alignment with the data AUTOMATICALLY without manually count the spaces?

Thanks,

Helen

Hi helen,

1. Its already aligned.

2. If u open the file in excel,

it will open perfectly fine,

with column headings,

and appropriate data beneath it.

3. Since you are using TAB as a file separator,

it won't look aligned in NOTEPAD.

(bcos the field length of data is more than

the heading)

4. In excel it would look perfectly fine.

regards,

amit m.

You could append the headings in a header structure and pass it along with the GUI_DOWNLOAD function.

I do not have access to SAP right now, but if you look at the function module, you should be able to find an internal table to store headers.
