Encoding and compressing a file

Posted: Jul 12, 2007 2:10 PM Reply E-mail this post

Hello all,

My requirement is to compress a file in .gz as well as to encode a particular file in ISO-8859-1 forrmat and send it to the application server.

this is what i am doing:

DATA: l_sap_code_page TYPE cpcodepage.

CALL FUNCTION 'SCP_CODEPAGE_BY_EXTERNAL_NAME'

EXPORTING

external_name = 'iso-8859-1'

• KIND = 'H'

IMPORTING

sap_codepage = l_sap_code_page

• EXCEPTIONS

• NOT_FOUND = 1

• OTHERS = 2

.

OPEN DATASET g_file_header FOR OUTPUT filter 'compress'

IN LEGACY TEXT MODE CODE PAGE l_sap_code_page.

_____________________________________________________________

in this can u tell me in which format my compressed file will be generated as well as the encoding done by me is correct or not?

and if the compressed file is not .gz type then how to make is .gz

urgent

Hi,

For making compress

Use class CL_ABAP_GZIP

otherwise use SM59

in the command line u can send :

POWERARC -a -c4 data.ZIP c:\sap_arc\*.*
