Satyawan,
      I think the problem is that you are trying to create the file in the SAP app server and the SAP DMS storage doesn't upload file from the app server in the way you have programmed it.
I would go about it in the following way,
1. Download the contents as a text file using ws_download on to the local.
2. Build reference to this file location and upload using the BAPI FM.
The first part and the last part of your program is ok.
Try this and let me know the results,
