OLE2 & Excel

[Former Member]

Hi Friends,

I want to ask a logic of OLE2 and Excel. Now, I write this code;

CREATE OBJECT application 'excel.application'.
  SET PROPERTY OF application 'visible' = 0.
  CALL METHOD OF application 'Workbooks' = workbooks.
  CALL METHOD OF workbooks 'Add' = workbook.

  call method of workbook 'SAVEAS' exporting #1 = p_fname #2 = -4543.

the second parameter of 'SAVEAS' method is passing as -4543. I have looked that the enum number of Excel.XlFileFormat.xlWorkbookNormal using VB Macro Editor is equal to -4543. But when I write -4543 this code is not run. Another person is passing #2 = 1.

How does do? Is there another number declaration of enums for Excel OLE2 objects?

Thanks.

Hi,

check this sample...

REPORT  ZTEST_OLE                   .

INCLUDE ole2incl.
DATA: application TYPE ole2_object,
       workbook TYPE ole2_object,
       sheet TYPE ole2_object,
       cells TYPE ole2_object.

CONSTANTS: row_max TYPE i VALUE 256.
DATA index TYPE i.

 

DATA: BEGIN OF itab1 OCCURS 0,
 first_name(10),
 last_name(10),
 END OF itab1.

START-OF-SELECTION.

 itab1-first_name = '123445'.
 itab1-last_name = 'tesst'.
 append itab1.
 clear itab1.

 

 itab1-first_name = '123446'.
 itab1-last_name = 'tesst'.
 append itab1.
 clear itab1.

 

  CREATE OBJECT application 'excel.application'.
  SET PROPERTY OF application 'visible' = 1.
  CALL METHOD OF application 'Workbooks' = workbook.
  CALL METHOD OF workbook 'Add'.

 

* Create first Excel Sheet
  CALL METHOD OF application 'Worksheets' = sheet
                              EXPORTING #1 = 1.
  CALL METHOD OF sheet 'Activate'.
  SET PROPERTY OF sheet 'Name' = 'Sheet1'.
  LOOP AT itab1.
    index = row_max * ( sy-tabix - 1 ) + 1. " 1 - column name
    CALL METHOD OF sheet 'Cells' = cells EXPORTING #1 = index.
    SET PROPERTY OF cells 'Value' = itab1-first_name.
        index = index + 1. " 1 - column name
    CALL METHOD OF sheet 'Cells' = cells EXPORTING #1 = index.
    SET PROPERTY OF cells 'Value' = itab1-last_name.
  ENDLOOP.


* Save excel speadsheet to particular filename

<b>  CALL METHOD OF sheet 'SaveAs'

                  EXPORTING #1 = 'c:tempexceldoc1.xls'     "filename

                            #2 = 1.                          "fileFormat</b>

Thanks for your answers.

But I could not get the real answer. I want to know, why Format is equalt to 1? And when I look in VB Macro Editor there is no format equal to 1. If 1 equal to Excel.XlFileFormat.xlWorkbookNormal, in VB Macro Excel.XlFileFormat.xlWorkbookNormal is equalt to -4543. But if I pass -4543, there is nothing. Who defines or where defined to pass 1? How?

Thanks.
