'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY' Excel-download without dialog

[Former Member]

Hi everybody,

we have a couple of reports displayed in dialog mode by using FM 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'.

Now the question arose if there might be a possibility to perform an Excel-download NOT by pressing the dialog function button but instead with parameters such as path and filename given by the calling program, without any user-interaction, maybe even without having the report started in dialog but in batch/background mode instead. I don't see a solution to this. Does anybody else?

Hi,

I have a simular program which downloads excel files regardless of ALV. I did it using desktop office intergration ( interfaces "i_oi_document_proxy", "i_oi_spreadsheet" )

This type of download can't be performed in background.

Thanks a lot, Svetlin!

This might be a possible solution to that problem that I haven't thought of yet, but I will consider it now!

basically what you are saying is that as soon as the user executes the program, the output also should get downloaded to a predefined location in the user PC, without any further user interaction.

Right? if yes

you have the data in an itab (which is passed to T_OUTTAB tables parameter)

in the PBO (immediately after filling the itab with data before calling the function 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'

call gui_download and pass filename, and the itab.

but you have to make sure thru a check to see this download happens only once during a session.

and this wont work in batchmode.

Thanks a lot, Raja,

I think by now I know the options I have and I'm going to close the post.
