23. abap2xls solution 18 On June 2010 I had an idea; use ABAP to create Excel from scratch based on Open XML standard. Basically abap2xlsx is a powerfull ABAP framework that creates pure Excel files directly from ABAP without any plugin.

24. Open XML was developed by Microsoft starting from 2000 and has been standardized in 2006 by Ecma International (as ECMA-376) and in 2008 by ISO and IEC (ISO/IEC 29500). In Microsoft Office 2007 Suite, Open XML become the default file format for all documents (Excel, Word, Power Point). Open XML 19

25. Open XML 20 An Office Open XML file is a ZIP-compatible OPC package containing XML documents and other resources. That is, one can see the contents of an OOXML file, for example by renaming it to a .zip file and opening it with any zip tool. The actual .xml files can then be viewed in a web browser or a plain text editor.
