Hi Omar,

You need to use OPEN_DATASET & READ DATASET statements to get the file from application server.

Steps:

• Open dataset in read mode
• Read the data set and collect into internal table
• Now, convert this into XSTRING by using function module SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING
• After converting into XSTRING, you can use CL_WD_RUNTIME_SERVICES=>ATTACH_FILE_TO_RESPONSE to download into local system

Please refer the below links

Hope this helps you.

Try with this

CL_WD_RUNTIME_SERVICES=>ATTACH_FILE_TO_RESPONSE(

          EXPORTING I_FILENAME = LV_FILENAME

                    I_CONTENT  = LV_CONTENT

                    I_MIME_TYPE = LV_CTYPE

                    I_IN_NEW_WINDOW = ABAP_TRUE ).
