hi Sai

Not sure if birt supports output to that type, just PDF and HTML as far
as I know.

Howver, take a look at the following birt 2.0 feature specifications at:

http://eclipse.org/birt/wiki/index.php?n=BPS.BPS

I looked around and possibly BPS32 might be where you might want to add
comments..not sure.

This is a high priority feature for my work as well.

If you need a quick workaround you could open a file in the report's
initialize() method and close it in the report's afterFactory() method.

Then on the Table's onRow() method - write a csv line to the file using
row["column-name1"] + "," + row["column-name2"] + "," +
row["column-name3"]...

you could do this in the main report - but it would always create a csv
file - or you could write another "csv driver" report that does this when
the user clicks on a "Download to CSV" link in the main report - which
runs the csv driver report and then points the browser at the resulting
csv file
