Hi,

My requirement is to download data into an excel sheet in csv format. The excel sheet should contain both header

and line item. There are different solutions mentioned in SCN. Few suggest it is possible in GUI_Download method

and few say the data has to be converted using FM into CSV format. Can someone suggest me the correct approach please

Hi,

GUI_DOWNLOAD is generally recommended over the other available download function modules as it is more efficient and less error prone when it comes to download large amount data into CSV or excel format. Thus you can go ahead and use GUI_DOWNLOAD.

You can get the examples for GUI_DOWNLOAD easily by searching in SCN

Vik

Hi,

use GUI_DOWNLOAD Function module.

Use the filetype as "DAT" instead of "ASC".
