ABAP DECOMPRESS to String/xml

prabhu_s2 — Thu, 03 Jan 2019 17:22:36 GMT

I have a requirement to decompress a data which is stored in a table.

The data was compressed by the below code and stored in a table:

EXPORT xtyp = ps_req TO DATA BUFFER ls_pers-input COMPRESSION ON.

I have downloaded the compressed data to a flat file but lost on how to decompress it and view the actual contents.

P.S. I can only download the compressed data to use it in a program for decompressing task. For environmental constraints I will not be able to query the table

Any help on this is highly appreciated.

Thank you

As a sandra.rossi , I don't know what you want to do...

If you do something like I show bellow, you can easily import the data... Also, look in the ABAP documentation for more details of usage of IMPORT/EXPORT statements.

REPORT.

DATA: oref  TYPE REF TO data,
      input TYPE xstring.

    CREATE DATA oref TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF spfli WITH DEFAULT KEY.

    ASSIGN oref->* TO <spfli>.

    SELECT * FROM spfli INTO TABLE <spfli> UP TO 50 ROWS.

    CALL TRANSFORMATION id SOURCE oref = <spfli> RESULT XML DATA(xml).

    EXPORT xml = xml TO DATA BUFFER input COMPRESSION ON.

    FREE: <spfli>[].
    IMPORT xml = xml FROM DATA BUFFER input.
