Hi,
  Use WRITE_FIELD_SEPARATOR = 'X'.
  Check this sample code
REPORT  z_file_download.
DATA: w_name(90) TYPE c.
DATA:
  BEGIN OF fs_flight,
    carrid   LIKE sflight-carrid,
    connid   LIKE sflight-connid,
    fldate   LIKE sflight-fldate,
    price    LIKE sflight-price,
    currency LIKE sflight-currency,
  END OF fs_flight.
DATA:
  BEGIN OF fs_head,
    carrid(10) TYPE c,
    connid(10) TYPE c,
    fldate(10) TYPE c,
    price(10) TYPE c,
    curr(10) TYPE c,
  END OF fs_head.
DATA:
  t_head LIKE
   TABLE OF
         fs_head.
DATA:
  t_flight LIKE
     TABLE OF
           fs_flight.
fs_head-carrid = 'CARRID'.
fs_head-connid = 'CONNID'.
fs_head-fldate = 'FLDATE'.
fs_head-price  = 'PRICE'.
fs_head-curr   = 'CURRENCY'.
APPEND fs_head TO t_head.
SELECT-OPTIONS:
  s_carrid FOR fs_flight-carrid.
START-OF-SELECTION.
  SELECT carrid
         connid
         fldate
         price
         currency
    FROM sflight
    INTO TABLE t_flight
   WHERE carrid IN s_carrid.
