If the requirement is to download excel sheet and retain the leading zeroes of the number columns. The easiest way is to send the file format as “DBF“.
CALL FUNCTION ‘GUI_DOWNLOAD‘
EXPORTING
FILENAME = v_filename
FILETYPE = ‘DBF‘.
EXPORTING
FILENAME = v_filename
FILETYPE = ‘DBF‘.
We had to apply this for our project to show Materials with leading zeroes in the downloaded excel.
