ABAP DECOMPRESS to String/xml

[prabhu_s2]

Hi

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

What is your question?

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.
