There are many ways to share data between SAP and Microsoft. As I briefly mentioned in previous hours, executing %pc in the transaction dialog box is an excellent and expedient way of moving data from SAP lists into other formats. Transactions that display their data via OCX controlsin various panels, each with its own data sources, constructs, and so onare generally not good candidates for %pc. That is, OCX-based output typically does not lend itself to being downloaded into a PC format such as XLS, RTF, and so on. But transactions that are displayed in list formatmost of them, to some degreeare excellent candidates for this method of downloading SAP data into Microsoft Officebased formats.

To save SAP list-based output to a file on your desktop or the network, enter the characters %pc in the transaction dialog box and then press Enter. A print window pops up , defaulting to saving the screen’s contents in an unconverted file format. Choose the format most appropriate for your immediate needs, press Enter, browse to the desired directory path, type the name of the output file you want to create, and then press Save to save the list data to the filename you specified.
