GZIP format not recognised by winzip or Java

[Former Member]

Hi,

We are trying to achieve the following.

We are trying to zip some data in ABAP using the following CL_ABAP_GZIP and put it into a stream. Unfortunately, when we read the stream in the java client we get a "Not in GZIPFormat exception" and the same does not open using winzip. I have a feeling it is something to do with code redundancy checks (crc) which is not done in the ABAP class. Has anyone faced the same issue? Any suggestions?

Thanks and Best Regards,

Karthik

Hi Karthik,

did you check SAP note 644640? It might help you check actual kernel release.
