I am working on a program in Business Warehouse that allows you to map out all of your process chains by following the hierarchy of parent to sub-chains by using the rspcchain table. As of right now I have it printing the output to the screen, but would like to export this output to excel instead. I have been unable to find a function module that serves this purpose, so any help would be greatly appreciated
note - after learning about the SALV classes available I changed the code to display the table differently.
REPORT Z_PC_VARIANT_MAPPING.
*Declaring types and variables
TYPES: BEGIN OF t_chains,
chain_id LIKE rspcchain-chain_id,
variant LIKE rspcchain-variante,
END OF t_chains.
DATA: lt_rspcchain TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF t_chains,
lwa_rspcchain TYPE t_chains,
o_alv TYPE REF TO cl_salv_table,
lx_msg TYPE REF TO cx_salv_msg.
TABLES: rspcchain.
*selection screen setup
SELECT-OPTIONS chain_id FOR rspcchain-chain_id.
SELECT-OPTIONS type FOR rspcchain-type.
*filling local table
SELECT chain_id variante
FROM rspcchain INTO TABLE lt_rspcchain
WHERE chain_id IN chain_id AND
type IN type AND

You can use the SALV framework for this, it comes with a class to export whatever would be displayed to various formats, including .MHTML and .XML formats that are understood by Excel. The class CL_SALV_TABLE
has a method TO_XML
to support this; additionally, you might need the CL_SALV_BS_XML_UTILS
to handle the transformations. See the report SALV_TEST_TABLE_DISPLAY_OR_XML
for example coding.
