Hi,
Please check this sample codes.
OPEN DATASET P_DOWN FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE. " P_DOWN is the file to download
  IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
    CLEAR V_STRING.
*-- Download to the file
    LOOP AT IT_DOWN.
      CONCATENATE IT_DOWN-DISTTYPE
                  IT_DOWN-O_CITY
                  IT_DOWN-O_REGIO
                  IT_DOWN-O_PSTLZ
                  IT_DOWN-O_CTRY
                  IT_DOWN-D_CITY
                  IT_DOWN-D_REGIO
                  IT_DOWN-D_PSTLZ
                  IT_DOWN-D_CTRY
                  IT_DOWN-DISTANCE
             INTO V_STRING
             SEPARATED BY '09'.    " here 09 is the tab delimeter
      TRANSFER V_STRING TO P_DOWN.
      CLEAR V_STRING.
    ENDLOOP.
