ABAP2XLSX in an old Abap version

[oliver_am]

Hello there.

I want to use ABAP2XLSX but my system have an old version of ABAP: 701.

I cannot activate the report ZABAPGIT_STANDALONE, it's using new syntax...

Any tip how to install ABAP2XLSX without ZABAPGIT ?

Thanks in advance.

You will also have the same kind of syntax errors with ABAP2XLSX because it's supported only from ABAP 7.02. Install a trial, install abapGit, install abap2xlsx. That's it.

abapGit requires a slightly higher version than yours, so it is no surprise that it doesn't work: 702 SP 8 or higher.

abap2xlsx is known to work down to 7.31 but we have no hard data on still lower versions.

you could install the whole thing in the canonical way on a newer system, generate the transport and import it in the older system: if this works, the devs are very much interested in hearing from you, to update the lowest known working version on the website.

Is there any TR to import in data and cofiles folders to import it in my system? How can I donwload these two files?

as I said, you'd have to generate the transport yourself from a newer system.

Ok, I've copied the objects from a system that have ABAP2XLSX already installed.

But I'm having problems activating the solution.

Some of them:

- Need to add type ABAP in some clases in Type groups.
- Data element sysuuid_x16 doesn't exists in my version, changed by XSDUUID_RAW

- Some syntax error for this words in some classes declarations: RISK LEVEL HARMLESS
DURATION SHORT.

- Some "new" syntax in class ZCL_EXCEL_WORKSHEET , I had to change the code to not do math operations or call methods in the call to other methods.

These problems are now fixed. but...

-  now, my big problem: Class CL_ABAP_UNIT_ASSERT doesnt exist... i've tried to copy it to a Z one, but there are references to other classes and interfaces like: if_Aunit_Object, cl_Aunit_Failure_Assert_C...
I'm going to try to install SABP_UNIT_CORE and SABP_UNIT_CORE_API packages from some SAP notes... If you have a clue how to do it...


Thanks in advance

Well... i've commented the lines used in class ZCL_EXCEL to call the class cl_abap_unit_assert... problem solved, now fixing new errors

Ok, now i think is working...

class CL_SYSTEM_UUID doesnt exist.
