File needs to be created at application server so 'WS_DOWNLOAD' or 'GUI_DOWNLOAD' is not feasible.

Use:

Open DataSet <Filename> for input in text/Binary Mode.

Loop at itab.

Transfer <itab> to <filename>.

Endloop.

CLose Dataset.

Use can check the LOCation of the created file on Application Server using TCODE:AL11

Hello Hemant,

There are two ways of doing so:

Step1: Download to Presentation server

In the FM 'GUI_DOWNLOAD' just pass the param WRITE_FIELD_SEPARATOR = 'X'. Only catch is that the file should be ASCII.

For Binary file, you need to separate the fields by the attribute CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB.

Step2: Download to Application Server

In this case you need to separate the texts using the attribute CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB.

Hope this helps.

Hi Suhas,

The method you have mentioned is correct. But when i try to do it.

It is including '#' as a separator.

It is not showing 'TAB' while displaying the file. (e.g. if you are downloading the file with 'GUI_DOWNLOAD' than you can see the tab in the file)

Thanks for your quick reply.
