This method is mostly used to test the file formats before "go-live."


In most cases, in a "live" environment, the file will be generated to a secure location such as a unix directory.  Then encryped and ftped to the bank.


The required directory location can be determined when setting up the variant for SAP program "SAPFPAYM."
