Dear Roger,
Three options:
1. The easy one: Send the report to the normal spool (use the standard
WRITE statement to output data), then you can download into a local PC
ASCII file 

2. Use WS_DOWNLOAD to send the content of an internal table to a file,
which has more sophisticated options (like formatting your outpust as a
DBF file, thus allowing to read the file directly from Excel without any
parsing)

3.Use DATASET to define your file, then use TRANSFER (you'll find info
about opening and closing a file in the online help)

Hope this helps.
