It depends on the third party system that you need to send data. If the external system supports IDOCs then you can create an IDOC using fm MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE and send it to the system else it the external systems reads flat files then maintain a common directory and prepare a flat file in your program and place the file in the directory which is reachable by your external system.

Or you can even maintain a common FTP location for file exchange.
