Zipping from abap program

ramesh_putta — Mon, 11 Feb 2013 02:41:48 GMT

Hi,

My program creates around 5 internal tables. And i would like to compress those internal tables into one zip file and download it to application server/presentation server.

Appricicate your ideas for this..

What server is it based on? On UNIX, it's as simple as adding ..filter 'compress' to your OPEN DATASET command to generated a GZIP compressed file. I'm not sure this works on Windows Server.

OPEN DATASET file FOR OUTPUT IN BINARY MODE FILTER 'compress'.

Hi Ramesh,

If you look at class CL_ABAP_ZIP via SE24 you can see the interface available here to zip files. I believe the only methods you would potentially need to use are add & save.
