How do you add option to save ALV to local file with CL_SALV_TABLE=>FACTORY

[former_member498250]

Looking to add one more feature to sample program used for creating an ALV report of Table field names and attributes ( topic SAMPLE ECC 6.0 program to display table structure ) [https://docs.google.com/document/edit?id=1mhPQ9jj2rUpijHfFh7xjldwc9x3EaPORppPaQd5-kqI&hl=en#] I would like to learn how to add the icon to download the report to a local file. I reviewed the SAP sample program SALV_DEMO_TABLE_COLUMNS but can not fiigure out how to add this feature. Thanks

See Sample program SALV_DEMO_TABLE_FUNCTIONS.

I already looked at sample program SALV_DEMO_TABLE_COLUMNS which has the icon and functionality in it. Sample program SALV_DEMO_TABLE_FUNCTIONS does not have this. I spent hours over the weekend trying to understand this and find the way it is handled.

I found it. Very simple coding addition

data: lr_functions type ref to cl_salv_functions_list.

  lr_functions = r_grid->get_functions( ).
  lr_functions->set_default( abap_true ).

  lr_functions->SET_EXPORT_LOCALFILE( abap_true ).
