There are different methods to create a text file based on your requirements, for example if you want to save your internal table data into a text file you can use a class method CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES->GUI_DOWNLOAD and save the file as c:\xxx.txt

First populate the text to an internal table and create the file using FM GUI_DOWNLOAD.

Search the forum with GUI_DOWNLOAD, you will get lots of sample codes.

Hi,

If you ar trying to move any information from within your code into a text file and create the file in your desktop , then you can use the function module GUI_DOWNLOAD which will automatically create the file on your desktop once your program is run.

Do let me know if it worked for you.

Regards,
