Creating a compressed file to the application server

[Former Member]

Hi,

i try to write a compressed file with OPEN DATASET into the filesystem of the applicationserver.

Im not sure to use a filter from the OPEN DATASET or the class CL_ABAP_GZIP.

Has somebody experience?

Regards,

Stefan

Hi Stefan,

for unix-systems you can say:

OPEN DATASET file FOR OUTPUT FILTER 'compress'.

it works excellent !

Hi all,

Thankx for ur reply.

I have the data in the internal table. I am using the standard function module SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 to send that internal table data as attachment to a mail receipient. Now before sending the mail i need to compress the data in the internal table.

I must not store that data in the application server.
