In order to illustrate how this feature works, I provide some kind of step-by-step tutorial including screenshots below. For more details about the feature please take a look at the SAP Note 876916 ( )! For example, this SAP Note lists details about supported releases and required support packages. This feature is available on systems with release numbers 6.40 and higher and works for all 3 members of the SAP GUI family including the SAP GUI for Java. The SAP List Viewer component allows exporting to ODF spreadsheet files in addition to Microsoft Excel files. I was happily surprised when I found out that ODF is already supported by the SAP List Viewer component (also known as the ABAP List Viewer or ALV), which is used many many times in all kinds of areas for displaying tabular data in a grid. Due to my past involvement in and ODF, I was curious to find out if and where the SAP products already support the ISO standard OpenDocument Format. Finally, I will use my blog to report about SAP’s contributions to the Open Source world like SAP’s contributions to Eclipse or the Open Source related investments by SAP Ventures. In addition, I hope that you will write comments to my blog entries, so that I can get a better understanding of the level of open source technology support that SAP customers and developers would like to see within SAP products. In this and future blog entries I want to explain how various SAP products integrate with different open source technologies. At Sun my focus areas included and the OpenDocument Format (ODF) in addition to things like Open Source business models. Before I joined SAP, I worked at Sun Microsystems where I was deeply involved in Open Source as well. In my role as an Open Source Program Manager in the Global Ecosystem and Partner Group I’m looking into all kinds of Open Source related topics. My name is Erwin Tenhumberg, and I recently joined SAP. Since this is my very first blog entry on SDN, I first probably should briefly introduce myself.
