Problem regarding Export functionality in ALV OOPS

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

I have a requirement where i have to display report in ALV OOPS and this should be downloadable

using export functionality present in ALV oops toolbar.

Now when i choose download to local file it gives a dump 'OBJECTS_NOT_CHARLIKE'.

Now this problem is due to quantity fields like KWMENG and KBMENG fields present in the output table.

If i comment out these statements while field catalog prepartion the export functionality works. Hence i believe there

must be more information that must be provide while field catalog preparation for quantity fields in ALV OOPS.

But i am not able to understand. HEnce require help and guidance for this.

i Have prepared field catalog in following manner

PERFORM f_create_fc_grid USING c_kwmeng     c_kwmeng  15      text-t23.

FORM f_create_fc_grid  USING us_fieldname TYPE  any
                             us_ref_field TYPE  any
                             us_op_length TYPE  any
                             us_seltext_l TYPE  any.


  CLEAR: e_fcat.

  MOVE   us_fieldname    TO   e_fcat-fieldname.

  MOVE   us_ref_field    TO   e_fcat-ref_field.

  MOVE   us_op_length    TO   e_fcat-outputlen.

  MOVE   us_seltext_l    TO   e_fcat-seltext.

  MOVE us_seltext_l TO e_fcat-coltext.

  APPEND e_fcat TO   i_fcat.

ENDFORM. " F_CREATE_FC_GRID

Hello Abishek,

Did you try downloading the file via Menu

system->list->save->office

This might work sometimes

Hi Abhishek,

I faced similar problem once. Such dumps are due to quantity fields in the internal table. Try giving the reference table for the quantity field in the 'REF_TABLE' field of the fieldcatalog, along with the 'REF_FIELD'. This helps in determining the length of the quantity field. Hope, this solves your problem.

Hi abhishek,

If you have quantity fields in your ALV, please give REF_TABLE in the field catalog for that field.

Hope this helps.
