Hi,

You will need to get the field catalog, this depends on the ALV version that you are using it will either be a method call or function module REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE.

Once you have the field catalog build a dynamic internal table based upon it, something like..

* Create a new Table
  CALL METHOD cl_alv_table_create=>create_dynamic_table
    EXPORTING
      it_fieldcatalog = IT_LVC_CAT
    IMPORTING
      ep_table        = new_table.

* Create a new Line with the same structure of the table.
  ASSIGN new_table->* TO <l_table>.
  CREATE DATA new_line LIKE LINE OF <l_table>.
  ASSIGN new_line->* TO <l_line>.

Now populate the new table by moving the corresponding fields from your source table and then output the new table to the file system.
