hi,

I would like to know how to download an alv tree structured data into a text file. The data in the text file should be in tree structure and should be displayed in a table format.

regards

Jags

hi Jagdeesh,

I know of no other way than do this manually.

1. Make a new button in the toolbar of your ALV-Tree:

See the ABAP BCALV_TREE_04.

2. Add download functionality to this button:

With this FM your internal table will open automatically in an Excel.


CALL FUNCTION 'RH_START_EXCEL_WITH_DATA'
 EXPORTING
   DATA_FILENAME             = 'test.xls'
   DATA_TABLE                = lt_itab.

If you use CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>GUI_DOWNLOAD and set the importing parameters WRITE_FIELD_SEPERATOR to 'X' your will get a tab delimited txt file of your internal table.

I hope this helps.

Cheers

Daniel
