Re: How to download alv grid without using standard options avaialable on grid

HI,

First of all create a button in the ALV toolbar to export to excel sheet.

In the user command, for the function code for this export button, say &EXP, implement it like this.

(Assuming you are using classic ALV)

DATA: file_path TYPE string,
         ret_var   TYPEi.
   file_path = p_file.

IF r_ucomm = '&EXP'.

     DATA ref1 TYPEREFTO cl_gui_alv_grid.
     CALLFUNCTION'GET_GLOBALS_FROM_SLVC_FULLSCR'
       IMPORTING
         e_grid = ref1.
     CALLMETHOD ref1->check_changed_data.

* Delete if file already exists in the system.
   CALLMETHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_delete
     EXPORTING
       filename             = file_path
     CHANGING
       rc                   = ret_var
     EXCEPTIONS
       file_delete_failed   = 1
       cntl_error           = 2
       error_no_gui         = 3
       file_not_found       = 4
       access_denied        = 5
       unknown_error        = 6
       not_supported_by_gui = 7
       wrong_parameter      = 8
       OTHERS               = 9.

   IF sy-subrc = 5.
     MESSAGE i398(00) WITHtext-013text-014. "Check if file is already open or locked.
     EXIT.
   ENDIF.

     CLEAR i_export.
* Populate header data

* Populate line details.
     LOOPAT i_data INTO wa_data.
* Do formatting as required with the data.

................

         MOVE-CORRESPONDING wa_data TO wa_export.
     
     ENDLOOP.
* Convert to excel file and send it to the local system
     CALLFUNCTION'SAP_CONVERT_TO_XLS_FORMAT'
       EXPORTING
         i_filename     = p_file
       TABLES
         i_tab_sap_data = i_export.
   ENDIF.
