No popup when using cl_bsp_utility=>download

[former_member206638]

Hi friends,

I´m using cl_bsp_utility=>download method from my BSP to download a file. I´ve never used it, but as long as I could see in the forum, it´s suppossed to open a popup to choose the file destination, right?...

Well, I´m getting nothing...what could be happening? I´ve tried the same code from different pc´s, to discard antivitrus, or popup blockers, or something like that, and nothing at all. After my pushbutton click, runs all the code without any error, but no popup.

I would appreciate very much any kind of help. Here´s my code, just in case...

	  call function 'SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING'
            exporting
              text     = lv_string
              mimetype = 'APPLICATION/MSEXCEL;charset=utf-8'
            importing
              buffer   = lv_xstring.

          concatenate cl_abap_char_utilities=>byte_order_mark_little
                      lv_xstring into lv_xstring in byte mode.

          call method cl_bsp_utility=>download
            exporting
              object_s            = lv_xstring
              content_type        = 'APPLICATION/MSEXCEL;charset=utf-8'
              content_disposition = 'attachment;filename=*.xls'
              response            = _m_response
              navigation          = navigation.

Thanks in advance!

I finally did it, my mistake was to use the mreponse object, instead of the response object belonging to my page.

As it is not available from OnInputProcessing event, all I did was fetch it from the runtime:

response = runtime->server->response.

Hope this could help someone else.

Hi All,

I am using the same as mentioned above while Download the data into Excel.

I got the popup with SAVE, CANCEL and OPEN. After SAVING file

it stores the data into Excel sheet. But cursor will not move to the regular place.

am i missing anything here . I want to know the reson why it's not going back after SAVE file or CANCEL?

Secondly i tried the below link also,

According to this I tryied to call the URL using Java script. But it is working in some browsers but not in other browsers.

Is there any changes I need to do in this.

I am not bale to fingure it out. Please suggest some points on it ...

Thanks..

Thanks for your suggestion.

Indeed, one those code samples is what I´m trying to make work, but it doesn´t. I´m looking for someone who might have experienced the same problem.

Kind regards,

Federico.

Thank you very much.

I´ve replaced my code with your proposal, but I had the same result (or the lack of it, in fact). The code doesn´t do anything.

What could be missing?

Federico.

Hi,

Try the below code in place of the cl_bsp_utility=>download.

DATA:  L_APP_TYPE  TYPE STRING,
         L_FILENAME  TYPE STRING,
         L_XSTRING   TYPE XSTRING,    "needed for HTTP response
         L_XLEN       TYPE I.

* Setting Content Type
  MOVE 'application/msexcel' TO L_APP_TYPE.
  MOVE 'attachment; filename=webforms.xls' TO L_FILENAME.

  CLEAR L_XSTRING.
  L_XSTRING = V_XSTRING. " Here you can directly pass your XSTRING

*-----------------------------------------------------------------------
* Fill HTTP request
*-----------------------------------------------------------------------
  RESPONSE->SET_HEADER_FIELD( NAME  = 'content-type'
                              VALUE = L_APP_TYPE ).

  RESPONSE->DELETE_HEADER_FIELD(
                      NAME = IF_HTTP_HEADER_FIELDS=>CACHE_CONTROL ).
  RESPONSE->DELETE_HEADER_FIELD(
                      NAME = IF_HTTP_HEADER_FIELDS=>EXPIRES ).
  RESPONSE->DELETE_HEADER_FIELD(
                      NAME = IF_HTTP_HEADER_FIELDS=>PRAGMA ).

  RESPONSE->SET_HEADER_FIELD(
                       NAME  = 'content-disposition'
                       VALUE = L_FILENAME ).

* finally display XLS format in Browser
  L_XLEN = XSTRLEN( L_XSTRING ).
  RESPONSE->SET_DATA( DATA   = L_XSTRING
                      LENGTH = L_XLEN ).
  NAVIGATION->RESPONSE_COMPLETE( ).

I have used it one of my program and it worked.

Thanks,
