downloading problem in sap version 3.1

Former Member

Hi

I am downloading a xls file in sap version 3.1 using ws_download. The number of columns are more than 300.

And in Microsoft access there are only upto 255 columns so the rest of the colums get truncated.

Is there a way i can download the complete xls file?

There are number of colums which are totally empty after selection of data..can i delete those columns from int. table which are empty so that the number of colums reduce.

I have also tried to display the data on the screen but there also the line-size limitation is upto 255 in ver 3.1.

If there is a way i can display the data on the screen.

Please advice..

Nikil,

Rather than using XLS, download the file with the extension CSV, and then open in Micrsoft EXCEL.

I guaranty it will work. )

cheers,
