abap_gzip_text_stream

[Former Member]

Hello everybody!

as I need to create a very big GZIP file which cannot be processed with CL_ABAP_ZIP, I found the class "abap_gzip_text_stream". Unfortunately I don't understand, how to use this stream zip class. I need to instantiate a buffer and a handler to process the data but I didn't find any examples for this instantiation process.

Has anybody already used this class and can post me a code example?

Thanks for your help!

Best regards

Markus

Hi Markus,

a 'big' file is optimally handled by the (unix?) operrating system. You can use the FILTER addition of OPEN DATASET command to pipe the file through operating system GZIP wich will be faster any way.
