  The SAP error message /CEECV/ROFI027 Output as Text file is no more supported since 2012 indicates that the system is trying to generate an output in a text file format, which is no longer supported by the specific SAP application or module you are using. This change was implemented to encourage the use of more modern and efficient output formats.
  Cause:
  
  Legacy Output Format: The system is attempting to use a legacy output format (text file) that has been deprecated.

  Review Custom Code:
  
  If there is any custom development that generates output, review the code to ensure it is not trying to create a text file. Modify it to use a supported format.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
