Hi,
We have a non-SAP application that picks up the EXCEL file (in XLS format) from SAP Application Server and process further. The non-SAP application doesn't accept any other format.
In my program, when I build the file using CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB as field separator and save it as .XLS on application server, it still behaves as tab-delimited file. Hence this didn't work in our case.
The folder on SAP Application Server is mapped to a windows directory. When I download the file and choose File-->Save As option from the menu, as you see in the below screen-capture, that although the file was saved as .XLS file the "Save as type" dropdown shows "Text (Tab delimited) (.txt)".
Appreciate your attention on this issue.
Thanks,
Prasanna
