Hi create a variable of type l_v_filename_temp TYPE draw-filep,

OPEN DATASET l_v_filename_temp FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.

create work areas withe required data

l_wa_header TYPE ty_header, "table for header data

l_wa_record TYPE ty_record. "table for record data

pass the data to these structures.

for header only once fill header workk area and pass it

TRANSFER l_wa_header TO l_v_filename_temp

loop the item record table and pass the data to the structure

l_wa_record

in the loop keep on transfering to

TRANSFER l_wa_record TO l_v_filename_temp.

If you wnat to send soem trailer datta use the same method.

and at the end

CLOSE DATASET l_v_filename_temp.

if you have any doubts reply me back.

Header & Trailer records are nothing but the columns need to be appended in the starting and end of the downloadng internal table.

There formats depend on the client requirement so check the formats with the existing sample files or the functional consultant.

Normally FTP is used to get data from other systems.Here there is no need of this.
