Answer 1

Here is a sample program which submits the report program, brings the output back from memory and downloads it to a text file.
report zrich_0003 .
data: begin of listout occurs 0,
      line(1024) type c,
      end of listout.
* Submit the report and export list to memory
submit your_report_program exporting list to memory
            and return.
* Get list from memory and convert to ascii
perform retrieve_list_from_memory tables listout.
call function 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
     exporting
          filename = 'C:Test.txt'
     tables
          data_tab = listout.
* RETRIEVE_LIST_FROM_MEMORY
form retrieve_list_from_memory tables reportlines.
  data: list like abaplist occurs 0 with header line.
  data: txtlines(1024) type c occurs 0 with header line.
  clear list.  refresh list.
  clear reportlines. refresh reportlines.
  call function 'LIST_FROM_MEMORY'
       tables
            listobject = list
       exceptions
            not_found  = 1
            others     = 2.
  check sy-subrc = 0.
  call function 'LIST_TO_ASCI'
       tables
            listobject         = list
            listasci           = txtlines
       exceptions
            empty_list         = 1
            list_index_invalid = 2
            others             = 3.
  check sy-subrc = 0.
  reportlines[] = txtlines[].
  call function 'LIST_FREE_MEMORY'.
endform.
