Hi All,
I have a requirement to download internal table contents to excel with field headings. I tried searching in forums before posting but didn't got much help.
I have used GUI_DOWNLOAD, WS_DOWNLOAD and EXCEL_OLE_STANDARD_DAT.
But unable to download the header in excel..along with data...
EXCEL_OLE_STANDARD_DAT is getting field header in excel but not downloading automatically , need to save manually which is not the requirement.
The data is huge with around 151 columns....I got 2 internal tables.
One for the data and the other with field names.
Many Thanks,

Ravi K

table eld names i.e., declare a structure of length 100 characters,
TYPES : BEGIN OF GTY_FIELDNAMES,
TITLE(100),
END OF GTY_FIELDNAMES.

DATA: GIT_FIELDNAMES TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF GTY_FIELDNAMES,

GWA_FIELDNAMES TYPE GTY_FIELDNAMES.

DATA : GD_FILENAME TYPE STRING,

GD_PATH TYPE STRING,
GD_FULLPATH TYPE STRING,
GD_RESULT TYPE I.

Now have a subroutine where by you append your headings into the internal table i.e.,GIT_FIELDNAMES

/
 CLEAR GWA_FIELDNAMES.
GWA_FIELDNAMES-TITLE = 'Material Number'.
APPEND GWA_FIELDNAMES TO GIT_FIELDNAMES.

CLEAR GWA_FIELDNAMES.
GWA_FIELDNAMES-TITLE = 'Material Description'.
APPEND GWA_FIELDNAMES TO GIT_FIELDNAMES.

Once you are done with it you can call up the save dialog
* Display save dialog window
CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_SAVE_DIALOG
EXPORTING
WINDOW_TITLE = 'Save File As...'
DEFAULT_EXTENSION = 'XLS'
DEFAULT_FILE_NAME = 'SalesPlan'
INITIAL_DIRECTORY = 'C:\'
CHANGING
FILENAME = GD_FILENAME
PATH = GD_PATH
FULLPATH = GD_FULLPATH
USER_ACTION = GD_RESULT.

* Check user did not cancel request

CHECK GD_RESULT EQ '0'.

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'

EXPORTING
FILENAME = GD_FULLPATH
FILETYPE = 'ASC'
* APPEND = 'X'
WRITE_FIELD_SEPARATOR = 'X'
* CONFIRM_OVERWRITE = 'X'
TABLES
DATA_TAB = GIT_FINAL " Internal table having data
FIELDNAMES = GIT_FIELDNAMES " Internal table having headings
EXCEPTIONS
FILE_OPEN_ERROR = 1 "#EC ARGCHECKED
FILE_WRITE_ERROR = 2
OTHERS = 3.

Hope this gets sorted your problem.

Thanks & Regards,
