Object to export* - will hold the <%data%> variable.
Column delimiter - will ask for the type of delimiter used in the newly created file.
Export header - the checkbox gives us the option to also export the headers.
File name* - will be the name of the exported file, the extension will be added by Procesio.
Output file* - will contain the fil variable we created  in Step 2. 
The File name* should be the same as the Output file* name. Check the screenshot below.
    Step 4.   Save, Validate and Run the process.
