Hello Ajay,

Download the file with csv extension like this.

<b>

c:temptest.csv.

</b>

Use the FM <b>GUI_DOWNLOAD</b> for this purpose.

What is the format of the file on the application server ?

GUI_DOWNLOAD will only work if it is already in the CSV format

else you may have to programatically convert it
