Question

Hi All,
I want to download the data in internal table to CSV file. but each column in the table should come as separate column in csv format.
  CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
    EXPORTING
      FILENAME                = GD_FILE
      FILETYPE                = 'ASC'
      WRITE_FIELD_SEPARATOR   = 'X'
    tables
      DATA_TAB                = I_LINES_NEW
    EXCEPTIONS
      FILE_OPEN_ERROR         = 1
      FILE_READ_ERROR         = 2
      NO_BATCH                = 3
      GUI_REFUSE_FILETRANSFER = 4
      INVALID_TYPE            = 5
      NO_AUTHORITY            = 6
      UNKNOWN_ERROR           = 7
      BAD_DATA_FORMAT         = 8
      HEADER_NOT_ALLOWED      = 9
      SEPARATOR_NOT_ALLOWED   = 10
      HEADER_TOO_LONG         = 11
      UNKNOWN_DP_ERROR        = 12
      ACCESS_DENIED           = 13
      DP_OUT_OF_MEMORY        = 14
      DISK_FULL               = 15
      DP_TIMEOUT              = 16
      OTHERS                  = 17.
  IF SY-SUBRC NE 0.
    WRITE: 'Error ', SY-SUBRC, 'returned from GUI_DOWNLOAD SAP OUTBOUND'.
    SKIP.
  ENDIF.

How to separate them into different columns.

Below example might help you understand on dowloading CSV file:
TYPE-POOLS: truxs.
DATA: i_t001 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF t001,
      i_data TYPE truxs_t_text_data.
SELECT * FROM t001 INTO TABLE i_t001 UP TO 20 ROWS.
CALL FUNCTION 'SAP_CONVERT_TO_TEX_FORMAT'
  EXPORTING
    i_field_seperator          = ','
*   I_LINE_HEADER              =
*   I_FILENAME                 =
*   I_APPL_KEEP                = ' '
  TABLES
    i_tab_sap_data             = i_t001
CHANGING
   i_tab_converted_data       = i_data
EXCEPTIONS
   conversion_failed          = 1
   OTHERS                     = 2.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
  MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
          WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
ENDIF.
DATA: file TYPE string VALUE 'C:\testing.csv'.
CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download
  EXPORTING
    filename                = file
  CHANGING
    data_tab                = i_data[]
  EXCEPTIONS
    file_write_error        = 1

    no_authority            = 5
    unknown_error           = 6
    header_not_allowed      = 7
    separator_not_allowed   = 8
    filesize_not_allowed    = 9
    header_too_long         = 10
