Hi Anil,

I don't see the actual error you are facing in the question you have posted so I'll just give you some points to look into.

1. Its not a good idea to define the expression "File Name" in the Message header of a content modifier & call it in the Message body of the same content modifier. You can try having two Content modifiers. One to define your Message header & the next one to define your Message body.

2. Avoid spaces when defining a property in the Message header. You can try "FileName" in the Name field instead of "File Name".

3. Double check the Content-type in the Message Body of the content Modifier. Since you mentioned it to be a CSV file, 'text/csv' & 'application/csv' are two options you may want to check out.

Hope this helps.

Regards

Sam
