Hi Khadeer,

It totally depends on your requirement.You Can prepare it in notepad or excel .But Preparing excel file is better because it is tab delimited.

Hi,

A flat file can be excels file or ,a text file saved as tab deliminter or a comma seperated or a space seperated file or, a csv extension file. this is purely on your requirement .

Method of preparing is same as you save your data in the excel file or any text file (data written in the notepad and file is saved as .doc with type tab/space/comma seperated) on the presentation server.

File path is given in various FM that you wish to use ,again depending on your requiremtn.

For presentation server you use GUI_UPLOAD/various other FM to uplaod the file basically from your flat file prresent on the presentation server to you internal table.OPEN DATASET from application server to internal table.

GUI_DOWNLOAD for downloading from intrenal table to the flat file on presentaion server.

Hope this is sufficient enough to clear your doubt...search the forum for various FM presen for this task.
