Dear All,

I would like to know whether its possible to provide data in .PRN format from SAP. If the answer is yes, then kindly provide the related function modules / demo programs which will be of great help to me.

Thanks & Regards,

HI,

Try as shown below:

CALL FUNCTION 'WS_DOWNLOAD'

EXPORTING

FILENAME = 'c:\XYZ.prn'

FILETYPE = 'ASC'

TABLES

DATA_TAB = DISP_TAB3.

after executing your program you can check your file in DOS.

GOTO START--> RUN --> Type CMD

cd\

type XYZ.PRN

I think it will work.

So far i am not able to find any solution for directly downloading internal table contents to .PRN file. I think this can be done using 'OLE', reason being in excel application, we can print the worksheet to file, which results in creation of .PRN file. Can some one please provide me the relevant OLE code for printing an excel file. The only code which i can think as of now is

CALL METHOD OF e_activesheet 'PrintOut'

EXPORTING

#1 = 1

#2 = 'True'

#3 = 'True'.

which i tried applying from the following Macro recording (created while issuing a 'Print to file' operation)

ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, PrintToFile:=True, Collate _

:=True

But this doesn't seem to be working eventhough the sy-subrc value is 0.
