Hi Krishna Kumar,
if u wnat to download in to presentation server..
then use GUI_DOWNLOAD.
if u want to save in application server (in AL11) then u need to use
open data set...
  DATA : dl_string(250).           " String
*--Open data set
    OPEN DATASET dg_filename FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
    IF sy-subrc <> 0.
      dg_subrc = sy-subrc.
    ELSE.
*--Transfer data
      DO.
        READ DATASET dg_filename INTO dl_string.
        IF sy-subrc = 0.
          APPEND dl_string TO dt_data.
          CLEAR  dl_string.
        ELSE.
          EXIT.
        ENDIF.
      ENDDO.
*--Close data set
      CLOSE DATASET dg_filename.
    ENDIF.
