I need to create a text file using C/AL code in Dynamics 365 Business Central hosted version. Where can I find an example or documentation on the best practice for creating text or csv files in C/AL Code?

    In fact it's AL code.

    Here it's an option that download a txt file with 3 lines.
    codeunit 50102 GBS_CreateFile
{
    trigger OnRun()
    begin
        
    end;
    
    procedure GBS_CreateTxtFile(FileName: Text)
    var

        InStr: InStream;
        OutStr: OutStream;
        tmpBlob: Record TempBlob temporary;
        CR: char;
        LF: char;

    begin
        CR := 13;
        LF := 10;
        tmpBlob.Blob.CreateOutStream(OutStr);        
        OutStr.WriteText('First line'+ CR + LF);
        OutStr.WriteText('Second line'+ CR + LF);
        OutStr.WriteText('Third line'+ CR + LF);        
        tmpBlob.Blob.CreateInStream(InStr);
        DownloadFromStream(InStr, '', '', '', FileName); 
    end;
  
}


    Regards.
