Hi,
When downloading a file created on the application server on to my local machine(in the excel format), what is the maximum no of records that can be downloaded in one go?
I had a case where the file contained a large number of records & all could not be downloaded when I tried using ws_download.
Many Thanks.

I remember reading somewhere that Excel has a limitation of holding only 65000 records.

Hi!
In fact, MS Excel itself has the restriction of at most 65535 rows in a worksheet.
'WS_DOWNLOAD' has a restriction about the line length. I do not remember the number but it was about 1800 I guess (had better check this).
As it is announced 'WS_DOWNLOAD' is obsolete and is replaced by the function module 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'. But I do not know whether the latter one has that line length restriction.
The easiest solution should be, as I think, to split the data to be transfered to multiple files.
