Excel download in SAP Fiori Elements app gets stuck in a loop when $top and $skip not implemented...

$top and $skip is not implemented in custom READ event handler in CAP application.  Build a Fiori Elements List Report application based on this CAP application.  Excel download will get stuck in a loop if number of rows returned is greater than 200 (default for V2).

• Set the newly added downloadLimit property on the dataSource configuration (OR)
• Implement $top and $skip

This new behavior ensures that any additional data (since last table binding) is not ignored during export...
