Saurabh,

If u are downloading the table t_itab which has got fields like matnr, erktx and some others, use the following statements.

concatenate t_itab-matnr t_itab-arktx t_itab-xyz into string separated by space (or a tab delimiter).

And then download this string.

How are you downloading the table, the solution would depend on that but one general solution can be to write the information using offset and length. Check the below example...

itab -->

matnr(18)

descr(40)

do 2 times. "2 is the number of fields in itab

offset = 0.

write itab-matnr to ltab-text+offset(18).

offset = offset + 18 + 1.

write itab-descr to ltab-text+offset(40).

enddo.

==>ltab-text has the data !!

--> surely you can even use describe statement to get the length of the field.
