Exporting ALV to a spreadsheet using XXL format causes MESSAGE_TYPE_X after BI 7.30 upgrade

Former Member

Hello-

We have recently upgraded our NetWeaver BI 7.0 system to NetWeaver BI 7.3.  Since the upgrade, attempts to export an ABAP List view to a spreadsheet have been failing and causing a short dump of type MESSAGE_TYPE_X.  We are using SAPGUI 730 patch 6 to access the system.  Has anyone seen this and know what the solution is?  Here are the steps to recreate the issue:

  • Open a transaction that create an ABAP List View, select option Export -> Spreadsheet
  • Select the All Available Formats option 'Excel (In Existing XXL Format)' as shown and click the check

  • Acknowledge any dialogs about formatting and file security (if applicable)
  • Select the 'Table' option in the 'Export list object to XXL'  and Microsoft Excel in the dialogs as shown

  • a MESSAGE_TYPE_X error occurs

Does anyone have an idea of the cause of this issue?

Thanks,

-Nathan

Hi Rishi-

I believe this is the correct answer, thanks Rishi.  I am going to test this further, as I no longer get the error, but another user does get the error.  Any idea why this might be the case?

I will update this thread with the results of further testing.

Kind regards,

-Nathan
