Hi

CSV means a text file, where the columns are separated by a character ";".

The best way to change a list to CSV is to create an internal table in the ABAP, with the structure of the required CSV.

You have to fill in this internal table.

Because you are running the program in background, you can't download the file, the best would be to store the file on the server in a separated directory.

1ST capture file from application server to internal table using open dataset and close data set.

Use the Function Module SAP_CONVERT_TO_CSV_FORMAT to convert the internal table into Comma separated format then download this internal table using the Function Module GUI_DOWNLOAD.

EX-

Coding -

TYPE-POOLS: truxs.

TYPES:

BEGIN OF ty_Line,

vbeln LIKE vbap-vbeln,

posnr LIKE vbap-posnr,

END OF ty_Line.

TYPES: ty_Lines TYPE STANDARD TABLE of ty_Line WITH DEFAULT KEY.

DATA: itab TYPE ty_Lines.

DATA: itab1 TYPE truxs_t_text_data.

SELECT

vbeln

posnr

UP TO 10 ROWS

FROM vbap

INTO TABLE itab.

CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_CONVERT_TO_CSV_FORMAT'

EXPORTING

i_field_seperator = ';'

TABLES

i_tab_sap_data = itab

CHANGING

i_tab_converted_data = itab1

EXCEPTIONS

conversion_failed = 1

OTHERS = 2.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno

WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.

ENDIF.

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'

EXPORTING

filename = 'C:\TEMP\test.txt'

TABLES

data_tab = itab1

EXCEPTIONS

OTHERS = 1.

Thanks,

try with this code ......

and write statements accordingly .......

OPEN DATASET v_filename FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE

ENCODING NON-UNICODE MESSAGE v_msg_txt.

IF sy-subrc = 0.

LOOP AT vit_itab2.

CLEAR : vit_itab2_wa , vit_itab3.

MOVE-CORRESPONDING vit_itab2 TO vit_itab2_wa.

CONCATENATE

vit_itab2_wa-vbeln

vit_itab2_wa-posnr

vit_itab2_wa-matnr

INTO vit_itab3 SEPARATED BY ','.

TRANSFER vit_itab3 TO v_filename.

ENDLOOP.

ENDIF.

CLOSE DATASET v_filename.
