Fix missing “Spreadsheet” option while right-clicking on ALV generated with REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY

Today I came across a situation where the “Spreadsheet” option was missing while right-clicking on an ALV generated using REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY.

(See below)

I went through couple of discussions on this topic but most answered the missing “Export” option in Application bar (List> Export> Spreadsheet)

Observed that in my case, I could view the “Spreadsheet” option via from Application bar.

The Internal table declaration is as below-

* TYPES—————————————————————–

  types :   begin of ty_output,

              kbeln      type kbeln,

              begru      type begru,

              bstat      type bstat,

              end of ty_output.

**–Internal Table—————————————————-

Data: it_outtab type standard table of ty_output.

Logic for fetching data

..

* Display the data in grid

    call function ‘REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY’

      exporting

        i_callback_program = sy-repid

        is_layout          = rec_layout

        it_fieldcat        = li_fldcatlog[]

        i_default          = ‘X’          

        i_save             = ‘A’          

        is_variant         = g_v_variant  

      tables

        t_outtab           = li_output.

While debugging, found that the internal table ‘li_output’ had a deep structure ‘BSTAT’.

The types declaration was updated as below-

The Internal table declaration is as below-

              kbeln      type kbeln,

              bstat      type wrfbstat, “<<<<<-

              end of ty_output.

**–Internal Table—————————————————-

Data: it_outtab type standard table of ty_output.

Post the code change, the ‘Spreadsheet” Option appeared.

Documentation on REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY didn’t mention about not using “Deep structures”, though.

Hope this will be helpful for others!
