Hi Aviad,

Refer "Exporting Context Data into Excel Using the Web Dynpro Binary Cache" by Bertram Ganz. This document will be very much helpful for you in exporting the context data into excel.

You can get the sample code and corresponding documentation from the following link

"Tutorial on Excel Export Using the Web Dynpro Binary Cache - 34"

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/webas/webdynpro/tu... on excel export using the web dynpro binary cache - 34.htm

You can also use HSSF API for exporting the context data into excel

"Create an excel file from JAVA using HSSF api" by Prakash Singh

Hi

Currently there is no way of directly providing a print option from the webdynpro application.

check out these two links, we have already discussed on this part alot !.

Though there is a indirect way of calling the windowsPrint () function through embedding a iframe and calling the print() in the link to URL, it has some limitations.

The best possible solution is to open the content / table with data in a new external window and provide a message /legend stating " To print - Use file menu print option or press on control +P" to invoke the print window

Hope this helps.

If you have still any specific issues do let us know
