Save to local file

I created a Abap-report to display in HR the positions. Because there are a lot of positions it should be possible to run it in background.

I use the function "REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY" to display the data. When I run it in background, the system asks me the "Background Print Parameters".

As output device I can only choose "LOCL - Default Windows printer"

When the program has finished, (sm37) I 'm asking for the spool and then I ask for the "graphical display of the spool request".

In there I can push on the button "Save to Local File", then I'm selecting "Spreadsheet", and I save the file.

When I open the file (in excel), there are headers and empty lines in the file every 65 lines.

Is there a way to have this file without the headers, empty lines.

Thanks,

V

Hi Vprake,

This is because of your Page Printing limitations..

By default ABAP report can print 60,000 line without interuption.. Until if you define the line-count, there will be no problem... Check the line count & check the print device line size output.

As far As I know cuurrently your print device taking 65255 or 6580 per page setting....

You can consult your basis team to change the page settings(create new as required) and pass the new parameters to the background.

Thanks & regards,
