One field is missing in downloading the file from report

Question

Hi Friends,
I have a problem with downloading the file from SAP.
Actually the report has to download 6 fields from the list of the report to a .txt file on the presentation server. But it is downloading only 5 fields. The missing field is DEA#. Actually now i have to fix that problem.
I found that in the download process they have not inlcuded the DEA# field.
Here in this 1 field is not getting dowloading from the list of the report to the text file.
I'm giving a portion of the code.
Like this they r calling the FM:
FORM DOWNLOAD_FILE.
  CALL FUNCTION 'DOWNLOAD'
       EXPORTING
            FILENAME = P_OUTFIL
       TABLES
            DATA_TAB = I_OUTPUT.
  IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
    WRITE:/ 'Error downloading file'.
  ENDIF.
in code we have,
data: v_output type t_output,
data: i_output type t_output occurs 0.
and,
BEGIN OF T_OUTPUT,
       RECORD(200),
       END OF T_OUTPUT.
when i debug the program,
the record field is showing only the 5 fields not the missing 6th filed)DEA#).
and we have another FORM :
*&      Form  FORMAT_FILE_WITH_TABS
      Insert tabs between fields so when uploaded in Excel, the
      record will be separated into columns where a tab is found.
FORM FORMAT_FILE_WITH_TABS.
  LOOP AT I_KNA1 INTO V_KNA1.
    CONCATENATE: V_KNA1-KUNNR
                 V_KNA1-NAME1
                 V_KNA1-NAME2
                 V_KNA1-STRAS
                 V_KNA1-ORT01
                 V_KNA1-REGIO
                 V_KNA1-PSTLZ
       INTO V_OUTPUT SEPARATED BY C_TAB.
    APPEND V_OUTPUT TO I_OUTPUT.
    CLEAR V_OUTPUT.
  ENDLOOP.
ENDFORM.                               " FORMAT_FILE_WITH_TABS
If you look into this FM, there is no mention of DEA# field,
i hve tried to correct it by adding the "v_likp_dea" in the FM. when i did like this it is showing the DEA# field in the downloaded .txt file but only 1 value for all the records.
My question is for each record i have to show its unique DEA#.
I guess i could do this by putting it in loop, could anybody tell me how i can i do that, Please
Thank you very much.

In the subroutine format_file_with_tabs ,
You should read  it_likp with the key that uniquely identifies for dea# . This should be done in the loop at i_kna1.
Suppose kunnr identifies a unique dea# in it_likp internal table , then you should write
FORM FORMAT_FILE_WITH_TABS.
LOOP AT I_KNA1 INTO V_KNA1.
clear v_likp.
read table it_likp into v_likp
   with key kunnr = v_kna1-kunnr binary search.   (should sort the itab to use binary search with read. )
CONCATENATE: V_KNA1-KUNNR
V_KNA1-NAME1
V_KNA1-NAME2
V_KNA1-STRAS
V_KNA1-ORT01
V_KNA1-REGIO
V_KNA1-PSTLZ
v_likp-dea
INTO V_OUTPUT SEPARATED BY C_TAB.
APPEND V_OUTPUT TO I_OUTPUT.
CLEAR V_OUTPUT.
ENDLOOP.
ENDFORM. " FORMAT_FILE_WITH_TABS
