Using GUI_DOWNLOAD Function module in Batch

Question

Hi All,
I use the subject function module to load the data into a .xls file. I find no error while I run my program directly. But when I run it in Background it throws an unknown_error. Tried to debug, while in background (by introducing a infinite loop and releasing from the loop with the exit condition). I couldn't get into the function module to debug.
Needed information on how else can I find what the error is and is there any other function module (other than ws_download and gui_download) which I could use and find no errors while running in background.
Thanks,
Aaron.
This is what I am doing:
OPEN DATASET p_file FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE
ENCODING DEFAULT.
if sy-subrc = 0.
Loop at te070 into se070.
Transfer se070 to p_file.
Endloop.
endif.
close dataset p_file.
This creates a file in the app server in Batch and I will have to run a program online to dowload the contents from the server. My requirement is that I need to download the contents in Batch to my local file. Is this possible by any means? (Can we create a windows executable file (.EXE) and use it in a windows batch file (.BAT)?)
