Help Required on call Transformation

Former Member · ‎09-24-2013

Hi Gurus,

I have a requirement of creating an excel sheet which has company LOGO at the header, Rows headings with Colors, Data to be displayed and another LOGO at the footer.

Since color schema is not possible in SMARTFORM, we have decided to check the feasibility using STRANS - Call Transformation. One doubt about this call transformation is that can we include LOGOs in XML source code? If yes, then how can we mention source location of the LOGO.

I have searched SDN and Google but couldnt find any relevant information.

I request you to please provide your suggestions and inputs.

Hi Anand,

Use the following code. It might help you.

ABAP Program Code:

*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*

*& Report ZTEST_NP_EXCEL_XML

*&

*& Download the formatted excel file using XML

*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*

REPORT ztest_np_excel_xml.

TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_mara,

matnr TYPE matnr,

maktx TYPE char30,

END OF ty_mara.

DATA: itab TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_mara,

la_tab LIKE LINE OF itab,

xmlstr TYPE string.

START-OF-SELECTION.

*---------

* Test table

*---------

la_tab-matnr = 'TEST1'.

la_tab-maktx = 'Test description'.

APPEND la_tab TO itab.

la_tab-matnr = 'TEST2'.

la_tab-maktx = 'Test description 2'.

APPEND la_tab TO itab.

*---------

* Get the XML data excel

*---------

CALL TRANSFORMATION ztest_np_xls

SOURCE table = itab

RESULT XML xmlstr.

*---------

* Download the file

*---------

* Fill the table

DATA: xml_table TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF string.

APPEND xmlstr TO xml_table.

DATA: window_title TYPE string,

fullpath TYPE string,

path TYPE string,

user_action TYPE i,

default_extension TYPE string,

default_file_name TYPE string,

file_filter TYPE string,

filename TYPE string,

initialpath TYPE string.

* File selection

MOVE '.XLS' TO default_extension.

MOVE 'XLS files (*.XLS)|*.XLS' TO file_filter.

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_save_dialog

EXPORTING

default_extension = default_extension

default_file_name = default_file_name

file_filter = file_filter

initial_directory = initialpath

CHANGING

filename = filename

path = path

fullpath = fullpath

user_action = user_action

EXCEPTIONS

cntl_error = 1

error_no_gui = 2

OTHERS = 3.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno

WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.

ENDIF.

* download file

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'

EXPORTING

filename = fullpath

filetype = 'ASC'

TABLES

data_tab = xml_table

EXCEPTIONS

file_write_error = 1

no_batch = 2

gui_refuse_filetransfer = 3

invalid_type = 4

OTHERS = 5.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno

WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.

ENDIF.

Code for XML Transformation ( Double click on the name ztest_np_xls after statement Call Transformation) :

<?sap.transform simple?>

<?mso-application progid=”Excel.Sheet”?>

<tt:transform xmlns:tt=”http://www.sap.com/transformation-templates”>
This test program will generate the formatted excel like this:

<tt:root name=”table”/>

<tt:template>

<Workbook xmlns=”urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet” xmlns:o=”urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office” xmlns:x=”urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel” xmlns:ss=”urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet” xmlns:html=

“http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40″>

<Author>npatel</Author>

<LastAuthor>npatel</LastAuthor>

</DocumentProperties>

<ProtectStructure>False</ProtectStructure>

<ProtectWindows>False</ProtectWindows>

</ExcelWorkbook>

</Style>

</Style>

</Styles>

<Row>

<Data ss:Type=”String”>Material No</Data>

</Cell>

<Data ss:Type=”String”>Material Desc</Data>

</Cell>

</Row>

<tt:loop ref=”.table”>

<Row>

<Cell>

<tt:value ref=”MATNR”/>

</Data>

</Cell>

<Cell>

<tt:value ref=”MAKTX”/>

</Data>

</Cell>

</Row>

</tt:loop>

</Table>

<Panes>

<Pane>

</Pane>

</Panes>

<ProtectObjects>False</ProtectObjects>

<ProtectScenarios>False</ProtectScenarios>

</WorksheetOptions>

</Worksheet>

<ProtectObjects>False</ProtectObjects>

<ProtectScenarios>False</ProtectScenarios>

</WorksheetOptions>

</Worksheet>

<ProtectObjects>False</ProtectObjects>

<ProtectScenarios>False</ProtectScenarios>

</WorksheetOptions>

</Worksheet>

</Workbook>

</tt:template>

</tt:transform>

The output of the program ( including XML Transormation) is shown below.

Note: It works fine with MS Excel. For others package like Open Office, it wont work.

Hope It Helps.

Thanks,

Arun.

Hi Anand,

If you want to use STRANS, you may check below links to get how to assign media type to binary to XML file, I think you should convert your logo into binary data before including to XML source code:

O'Reilly - www.XML.com: Handling Binary Data in XML Documents(http://www.xml.com/pub/a/98/07/binary/binary.html)
Assigning Media Types to Binary Data in XML(http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-xml-media-types-20041102/)

But I think color schema is supported in SMARTFORM, you may see below 2 pictures:

P.S. I'll show you a picture and below is it's binary data:
