Auto-Download Issue with excelRD Print Argument in Infor LN 10.7

We are currently using Infor LN 10.7 (on-premises). While printing reports, we use the print argument ascii:excel to download reports in Excel format. However, the formatting is not ideal, which is why we have personalized the report and switched to using the excelRD argument for better design and layout.

The issue we are facing is that when using excelRD, the system prompts the user with a download popup, and the report is only downloaded if the user manually clicks Download. In contrast, with ascii:excel, the download happens automatically without user interaction.

We would like to know if there is a way to enable auto-download for reports printed using the excelRD argument, similar to the behavior of ascii:excel.

Hi Sameer,

Have you asked Infor support about this? I think that your desired functionality would save a few clicks and be helpful. If you create an enhancement request, I would endorse it.

Yours,

Hi,
This issue is resolve. I have raised a ticket to Infor and they helped.
By adding '-open' to argument the excel file will be auto download into the system without any prompt.

In my device the argument is like 'excelRD -open'
