Write the header, field names into an internal table of field string and download it into a file using GUI_DOWNLOAD, next call GUI_DOWNLOAD again in append mode and pass the internal table with the list data and save it in the same file.

Hi,

While downloading file, u wont get the header part, u have to append the header part before the data. Then u pass the final output table with header to the function module.

So that it will read the first line that will be header and then remaning data.

U can create an internal table.

TYPES: begin of ty_itab ,  
name(4) TYPE c,  
sex(3)  Type c, 
end of ty_itab.
DATA: i_itab type standard table of ty_itab, 
     w_itab type ty_itab.

Then do as below.

w_itab-name = 'NAME'. 
w_itab-sex  = 'SEX'. 
APPEND w_itab to i_output_final. 
i_output[] = i_output_final. 
APPEND i_output_final.

Now pass this final table to the functionmodule, so it is now with header.
