Hi team,

Can you please let me know how to compress the file before sending.

I have 18MB excel file which i need to send to user.

I tried via zip classes but it won't compress.

Thanks

Nishant

Please explain what you've tried via the zip classes. I've used the zip classes many times and they work fine.

What kind of Excel file? XLSX is already compressed and you won't gain much by compressing it again.

Download the 18MB file and see if you can compress it on your PC. If you can, then you can look further in SAP. If you can't then maybe remove some of the data. Actually this is probably a good idea anyway.
