How to create TAB deliminated file

[Former Member]

Hi,

When we download a file from interanl table using GUI_DOWNLOAD function module how can we make it TAB Delimated.

In the importing parameters pass 'X' to WRITE_FIELD_SEPERATOR and Filetype as 'ASC'. This will produce a output file which is tab delimited.
