Do you know where &html_path and &spmedate are defined?
Lie to the software, as in naming a file with an extension like XLS when the code creates HTML is asking for all sorts of problems. Such as settings in later version of programs that will try to open XLS that may refuse with messages about the file contents do not match the expected file type. It was poor practice 10 or more years ago and the "reason" then doesn't exist any more with ODS EXCEL as an option. Use of html means no control over sheets, sheet names and such since HTML creates one single file. OR you have to go to a lot of work to make references between documents.
