Listing 11.4 Downloading the Spreadsheet
In a similar manner, you can open up the spreadsheet inside SAP or email it out.
(Section 11.2.8 goes into detail about email options.) Opening the spreadsheet in
place uses standard SAP mechanisms based on standard class CL_OI_CONTAINER_
CONTROL_CREATOR, which can be seen in the ex ample programs that came with
ABAP2XLSX.
Examples
When you install ABAP2XLSX onto your system, in addition to the base classes you get
an executable program called ZABAP2XLSX_DEMO_SHOW, which is a collection of about
40 individual demonstration programs, each showing a feature of ABAP2XLSX and how
to code it. By looking at the code in these sample programs, you can quickly learn how
to make cells bold, underline cells, or perform any of the other common Excel tasks.
