    1: Text file on the application server, which means the machine on which the SAP R/3 System runs.

    2: Text file on the presentation server, which means the computer on which you are currently working (for example, a personal computer). This allows you to store a report directly on your PC, where you can then edit it.

    – File format

    This parameter defines the type of file to which the report is to be exported. This parameter is only useful if the output medium is the presentation server (output medium = 2).
