" @summary The table on the screen written into an .xlsx file with the XCO XLSX library and handed to the browser as a download - a header row, then one row per line
"! <p class="shorttext synchronized">Excel - Export a Table as XLSX File with XCO</p>
"! The XCO XLSX library writes an internal table into a new worksheet:
"!
"! DATA(document) = xco_cp_xlsx=>document->empty( )->write_access( ).
"! document->get_workbook( )->worksheet->at_position( 1
"! )->select( pattern )->row_stream(
"! )->operation->write_from( REF #( t_rows ) )->execute( ).
"! DATA(xlsx) = document->get_file_content( ).
"!
"! The file goes to the browser as a base64 data URL through the
"! download_b64_file frontend action - no download service, no extra request.
"! The calls sit in z2ui5_cl_smps_xlsx, which the other samples of the
"! package share.
