DATA:

     lv_space TYPE string,

     line TYPE string,

     ruta TYPE string.



  ruta = '/tmp/file.txt'.



    line = 'test'.

    lv_space = cl_abap_conv_in_ce=>uccp( '00a0' ).

CONCATENATE line lv_space INTO line.





  OPEN DATASET  ruta FOR OUTPUT IN LEGACY BINARY MODE .



     TRANSFER line TO ruta .



   CLOSE DATASET ruta.

My code works but I have one problem, the space in the file its a extranger character, and I need a space:

    Explanation of the error in your code, for UCCP, you must put letters in UPPER CASE:

    lv_space = cl_abap_conv_in_ce=>uccp( '00A0' ).

    If you use 00a0, you'll get lv_space = NULL character (similar to using 0000)

    If you use a text literal with straight quotes (internal type is then a C type of fixed length), the trailing spaces are ignored during the assignment and evaluations. You must use back quotes (internal type is then a STRING of characters) so that to consider trailing spaces.

    You will get "new line character" for each "TRANSFER LINE" statement. I have executed your code and got only 1 line-feed. That means first row and a blank line, which is correct. Try to remove "WINDOWS LINEFEED" and execute again.

    I do have a question. How are you opening the file? Are you downloading it from any where?

    Thanks,

    Hi Luis Roberto Franco,

    I can see you are only transferring text(.txt) to application server(t-code: AL11). So, you have to use "TEXT MODE" instead of "BINARY MODE". Below code for your reference. Binary mode is used to transfer binary data to application mode, for example, if you want to upload a text document from "GUI" and want to save it in AL11.

    DATA:
 lv_space TYPE string,
 line TYPE string,
 ruta TYPE string.

ruta = '/tmp/file.txt'.
line = 'test'.
CONCATENATE line lv_space INTO line.
OPEN DATASET  ruta FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
TRANSFER line TO ruta .
CLOSE DATASET ruta.

    Cheers!

    I have modified my code :

    DATA:

     line     TYPE string,
     ruta     TYPE string.
  ruta = '/tmp/file.txt'.

  line = 'test'.

DO 3 TIMES.
 CONCATENATE line ` `   INTO line.

ENDDO.


OPEN DATASET  ruta  FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT WITH WINDOWS LINEFEED.

     TRANSFER line TO ruta .

   CLOSE DATASET ruta.

    And now Works, put space correctly but now I have other problem, the file its begin generated with 2 more line emptys, and I need only one:

    I need only one line I dont know why I have 3 lines
