Mae,

Your requirement is not clear, do you need to create text file with data or invoke a batch file that creates text file?

Check below sample code, it creates a text file "DOWNLOAD.TXT" in local hard disk.


data: i_dat type table of string.

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
  EXPORTING
    filename                        = 'C:\download.txt'
  tables
    data_tab                        = i_dat
 EXCEPTIONS
   FILE_WRITE_ERROR                = 1
   NO_BATCH                        = 2
   GUI_REFUSE_FILETRANSFER         = 3
   INVALID_TYPE                    = 4
   NO_AUTHORITY                    = 5
   UNKNOWN_ERROR                   = 6
   HEADER_NOT_ALLOWED              = 7
   SEPARATOR_NOT_ALLOWED           = 8
   FILESIZE_NOT_ALLOWED            = 9
   HEADER_TOO_LONG                 = 10
   DP_ERROR_CREATE                 = 11
   DP_ERROR_SEND                   = 12
   DP_ERROR_WRITE                  = 13
   UNKNOWN_DP_ERROR                = 14
   ACCESS_DENIED                   = 15
   DP_OUT_OF_MEMORY                = 16
   DISK_FULL                       = 17
   DP_TIMEOUT                      = 18
   FILE_NOT_FOUND                  = 19
   DATAPROVIDER_EXCEPTION          = 20
   CONTROL_FLUSH_ERROR             = 21
   OTHERS                          = 22.

Populate internal table I_DAT with data that has to be download to the file.

Hi Mae,

Think you can use FM: SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE. I guess you can find few samples here in SDN. Please check.

hii,

check it step by step.

1) you fill the internal table for which you want to generate the file.

2) store the file name with the file type in a variable

3) call the function by pressing 'Pattren' button on the tool bar and write function name and it ll load code into your window.

4) set the parameter as shown below and execute the code.

it will generate file according to your specified file location and type.

call function 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'

exporting

BIN_FILESIZE =

filename = txtfile

filetype = 'ASC'

APPEND = ' '

write_field_separator = 'X'

confirm_overwrite = 'X'

tables

data_tab = it2_oh

reply if not clear
