Hi,

You need to use Open dataset if you want to transfer files to application server.

use the below sample code in your form and endform.

FORM 9200_write_to_server.

open dataset 'file.txt' for output in text mode encoding default.

if sy-subrc ne 0.

message e001. "error in opening file

endif.

loop at gi_outerface_tbl INTO gw_outerface_tbl.

transfer gw_outerface_tbl to 'file.txt'.

endloop.

close dataset 'file.txt'.

ENDFORM. " 9200_write_to_server

Thanks,

Sree.

Sorry that I did not show my open file paragraph in my prev email post.
