Hi All,

I am using the function module 'XXL_SIMPLE_API' to download data into the excel sheet.

By using the function Module the data is getting displayed in the excel but when we close the excel sheet , it is not getting saved .

Thanks in advance

Why dont you use GUI_DOWNLOAD instead? Search the forum, you will find lots of examples.


          CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'

'GUI_DOWNLOAD' is newer than 'XXL_SIMPLE_API'. You dont have to worry about GUI_DOWNLOAD being obsolete.


'XXL_SIMPLE_API'  was released in 1995
'GUI_DOWNLOAD' was released in 2001
