    Hi,

    The function module does not have a facility of directly downloading the two together, however there is a work around.

    First you create an internal table which has only one record that contains all the headers for the columns.

    Download this file into your required destination file on presentation server.

    Then, you download the actual internal table into the same file using GUI_DOWNLOAD, but mark APPEND = 'X' in the function module.

    What this will do is, first download the headers into a file on PS and then append the records in the second download to the same file.

    Why we cant do it in the same run is because, if an internal table has a column contianing quantity vlaue e.g. weight, we cannot populate the header in this column, because its character.

    Try this.

    Cheers,

    Aditya

      Hi,

      I wouldnt suggest GUI_DOWNLOAD if you want a proper EXCEL Sheet. GUI_DOWNLOAD cannot create a proper excel sheet, it actually creates a tab delimited file hence you can open it using notepad also, I suggest to go for the function module XXL_ALV_CALL..which gives you a proper EXCEL sheet to save
