Could you elaborate a little bit, please?

I presume that you are talking about a custom ISPF panel that you have created, and that your program has gone through the steps to VDEFINE the ISPF variables used in the panel, DISPLAY'ed the panel whereupon the user has entered information in the appropriate fields, then performed the VGET to retrieve the variables from the ISPF variable pool.

At this point, you would be moving the variables to their respective locations in your output record definitions (your WORKING-STORAGE definitions, presuming that you're using COBOL) and opening the output DD, issuing the WRITE command, and then ultimately CLOSEing the output DD.
