Hi All.

I'm using the function GUI_DOWNLOAD to download an internal table to excel, and it works fine when the program is ran from SAPGui, but when ran from the browser (ESS/MSS), the file generated doesn't come with the TAB delimiter, so excel can not open it directly (it opens in a single column).

Any idea on how to fix this?

thanks in advance,

Hermes.

Hi Hermes,

Are u using the tab as delimeter in interal table to seprate the records?

If not use following:

constants: c_tab TYPE c VALUE cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.

Itab-field1 = 'a'.

Itab-field2 = 'b'.

Itab-field3 = 'b'.

concatenate Itab-field1 Itab-field2 Itab-field3 seprated by c_tab.

Then download the records.
