Try to use WinAPI class. There's a createfile-method.

Hi Vishal,

You can either do it through dataports or through working with the files itself.
I would suggest using a dataport by setting the filename and the filters (SETTABLEVIEW). It's much easier to maintain.
Otherwise you can use the following code:

Global Variables

Name				Type    Size
OutFile			File	
OutFileName		Text	1000
txtLine			Text	1000
SalesLine		Record            Sales Line

Code

     OutFileName := 'C:\SalesOrder' + SalesLine."Document No." + '.txt';
     OutFile.WRITEMODE(TRUE);
     OutFile.TEXTMODE(TRUE);
	  
	  SalesLine.SETRANGE(<set your filters>)
	  if SalesLine.find('-') then repeat
	  
	      txtLine := <field1> + ',' + <field2> + etc.
	      OutFile.WRITE(txtLine);
		  
	  Until SalesLine.NEXT = 0;
  	OutFile.close;

You will probably need to add more code to so that you can avoid creating 'empty' files.

This is the Axapta forum, so I doubt if the answer given is correct ... unless the original poster asked his question in the wrong forum ;-)
