Hi Shamshudeen,

You have to use two funtion modules to acheive this.

1. To get the file path from user.

2. To download the excel sheet in prescribed path.

For 1 use following code

AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR p_fpath .

CALL FUNCTION 'F4_FILENAME'

EXPORTING

program_name = syst-cprog

dynpro_number = syst-dynnr

  • FIELD_NAME = ' '

IMPORTING

file_name = p_fpath .

The file path will be stored in p_fpath.

Now use GUI_DOWNLOAD function module and pass the file name p_fpath to it along with filetype as .xls

Hope this helps you.

Thanks,

Arun
