Yes, but because I'm newbie I need something runable, not only a part.

Hey,

Just create a internal table, populate some dummy data and call this funtion with appropriate parameters. It's enough.

This module and group doesn't exist because the system is not R/3 but BW.

How could it help? I don't want to download table content but a file that exists on AS (in sap/trans directory).

I think it's more suitable to FTP the file from the server to your local machine.

Maybe you can give some more information about the goal you want to achieve?

Kind regards,

Peter

Yes, this is exactly what I wanted, but it doesn't seem to be working with binary files. 'IN TEXT MODE' isn't syntactically correct, I had to add 'ENCODING DEFAULT' and I tried 'IN BINARY MODE' as well. Inspite of this the size of the local file differs from that on AS. Any idea how to correct this?
