regarding GUI_DOWNLOAD STRING PRB

[Former Member]

hey guys,

We are trying to download internal table values to Excel sheet. But string length

holding above 8200 is not downloading to excel completely,getting truncated/showing dump.

below is the structure.

begin of itab.

fld1(10).

fld2(20).

fld3 type string.

end of itab.

if above having field Fld3 is greater than( >) 8200 in length, is passed to GUI_DOWNLAOD, its giving short dump. while debugging we found bufferlength space is fixed to 8200. how to solve this problem.

Please suggest us.

regards

HI,

Find the max number of char that fld3 will hld and change its type to char and specify the max lenght.

hi Sooness,

Thanks for your reply

It looks like FM GUI_Download only accepts only 8200 char length for a field.

please confirm.

Hi,

actually string type has no specific lenght assigned to it. So put field 3 as char and specify an appropriate lenght for it.

give the filetype as <b>DBF</b> and checkout if it works
