Hi

GUI_DOWNLOAD is to download a file from SAP to Presentation Server.

GUI_UPLOAD is to upload a file from Presentation Server to SAP.

So if you need to transfer the data from SAP table to a file in your desktop you have to use GUI_DOWNLOAD:

DATA: BEGIN OF T_MARA OCCURS 0,
  MATNR TYPE MATNR, 
END OF T_MARA.

SELECT MATNR FROM MARA INTO T_MARA WHERE ....

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
   EXPORTING
        filename         = <path>
        filetype         = 'ASC'
   TABLES
        data_tab         = t_mara
   EXCEPTIONS
        file_open_error  = 1
        file_write_error = 2
        OTHERS           = 3.
