Download TAB-Delimited file

[Former Member]

Hi,

I want to produce a TAB-Delimited File using the FM, Gui_Download. Could anyone help how to do this?

[Peter_Inotai]

I'd suggest to use CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>GUI_DOWNLOAD instead. It won't be obsolete in higher releases and it has a parameter WRITE_FIELD_SEPARATOR.

Hi Jim,

In the importing parameters give 'X' to WRITE_FIELD_SEPERATOR.This will produce a output whcih is tab delimited in case of ASCII outputs.

Hi,

If you use 'X' for importing parameter WRITE_FIELD_SEPARATOR and Filetype as 'ASC', in that function module , then you will get desired output.

This information is available in importing parameter WRITE_FIELD_SEPARATOR.Check it.Nishant also told the same.
