Hi Srikanth,

Excel processing in background is currently not possible using standard ways. There exist a really good external library that allows you to handle Excel files, and even create them in background. So you could create a final, ready to use Excel file from your background run that can then be opened.

You might have a look at the library here: http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/abap2xlsx

Maybe it helps and suits your needs.

Cheers,

Marc
