Hi Manjunath,

Below is the solution if you aren't to use the FileDownload UI element.

1) First read the table's data into an internal table.

2) Convert the internal table data to STRING format.

3) Now convert it into tab separated format as how desired.

4) Convert this STRING format to XSTRING format

5) Make use of the attach_file_to_response method.

You can also go through[ this link|http://saptechnical.com/Tutorials/WebDynproABAP/Export/toexcel.htm] for a similar example.

Regards,

Uday

METHOD onactionon_submit .
  DATA: lv_node TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node,
        lt_mara TYPE if_main=>elements_mara,
        wa_mara TYPE if_main=>element_mara,
        lead_selection_index TYPE i,

        mara_string  TYPE string,
        mara_xstring TYPE xstring.

  lv_node = wd_context->get_child_node( name = 'MARA' ).
  CALL METHOD lv_node->get_static_attributes_table
    IMPORTING
      table = lt_mara.

  LOOP AT lt_mara INTO wa_mara.
    CONCATENATE mara_string
                wa_mara-matnr
                wa_mara-ersda
                wa_mara-ernam
                wa_mara-matkl
                wa_mara-meins
                cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline INTO mara_string
                                        SEPARATED BY cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.
  ENDLOOP.

  CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING'
    EXPORTING
      text   = mara_string
    IMPORTING
      buffer = mara_xstring.


  wdr_task=>client_window->client->attach_file_to_response(  i_filename  = 'TEMP.DOC'
                                                             i_content   = mara_xstring
                                                             i_mime_type = 'WORD' ).
ENDMETHOD.

The above is the code to export the Internal Table to Word Document. You can proceed as shown below for Excel & NOTEPAD formats.

To Export the Internal Table to Text File:

WDR_TASK=>CLIENT_WINDOW->CLIENT->ATTACH_FILE_TO_RESPONSE(
    I_FILENAME    = 'WDP.txt'
    I_CONTENT     =  mara_xstring
    I_MIME_TYPE   = 'NOTEPAD' ).

To Export the Internal Table to Excel File:

WDR_TASK=>CLIENT_WINDOW->CLIENT->ATTACH_FILE_TO_RESPONSE(
    I_FILENAME    = 'Excel.xls'
    I_CONTENT     =  mara_xstring
    I_MIME_TYPE   = 'EXCEL' ).
