Thanks for your reply.

How we can merge this above code in already running katalon script. Suppose after login, user visit some pages and then after on one page there is .CSV file download link is there. By click on that link i want to download that CSV file in custom folder with existing WebUI.

Convert the file to the style format the allocate for the merge…like one car into 8lanes of traffic…(quick analogy)
