Hi,
  Function Modules are used to download data only from presentation server. So if you want to download data from Application server you can do so only using Datasets.
Ex for datasets :
Data: Begin of itab occurs 0,
       lifnr like lfa1-lifnr,
       name1 like lfa1-name1,
      End of itab,
      itab1 like itab occurs 0 with header line.
  select lifnr
         name1
         from lfa1
         into table itab
         where land1 = 'IN'.
  open dataset 'customer' for output in text mode encoding default.
  loop at itab.
   transfer itab to 'customer'.
   if sy-subrc <> 0.
     exit.
   endif.
  endloop.
  close dataset 'customer'.
  open dataset 'customer' for input in text mode encoding default.
  do.
   read dataset 'customer' into itab1.
   if sy-subrc <> 0.
     exit.
   endif.
   append itab1.
  enddo.
  loop at itab1.
   write:/ itab1-lifnr,itab1-name1.
  endloop.
