Hi,
Please refer to the following program.
Driver program.
report zrich_0001.
data: list type table of abaplist with header line.
data: ascilines(1024) type c occurs 0 with header line.
data: htmllines type table of w3html with header line.
data: istr type table of string with header line.
parameters: d1 type localfile default '/usr/sap/NSP/SYS/Data1.csv'.
start-of-selection.
submit zrich_0002 exporting list to memory and return.
call function 'LIST_FROM_MEMORY'
  tables
    listobject = list
  exceptions
    not_found  = 1
    others     = 2.
call function 'LIST_TO_ASCI'
  tables
    listobject         = list
    listasci           = ascilines
  exceptions
    empty_list         = 1
    list_index_invalid = 2
    others             = 3.
loop at ascilines.
check sy-tabix > 2.. "Don't include headings
  concatenate ascilines+0(10)
              ascilines+19(10)
              ascilines+39(10)
                  into istr separated by ','.
  append istr.
endloop.
open dataset d1 for output in text mode encoding default.
loop at istr.
  transfer istr to d1.
endloop.
The report program.
report  zrich_0002.
write:/ 'Field1', at 20 'Field2', at 40 'Field3'.
write:/ 'Field1', at 20 'Field2', at 40 'Field3'.
write:/ 'Field1', at 20 'Field2', at 40 'Field3'.
write:/ 'Field1', at 20 'Field2', at 40 'Field3'.
Of course, parsing your report program is going to be more difficult, but it can be done.
Also, this will only work if the the report program can output its list as a standard list display, if it is forcing an ALV grid, then I think that it can not be retrieved from memory using the funtion module LIST_FROM_MEMORY.
Hope it helps.
