Is there a general purpose output stream class like in java?

[Sandra_Rossi]

Hi, I sometimes create tools (abap OO classes) which output characters, that I would like to store in any media (frontend file, server file, string variable, ftp, clipboard, etc.) This is easily done in java via the output stream classes.

Do you know if this kind of class exists? I saw some classes like that, but they are specialized, for example XML, SOAP. I look for non-specialized classes like in java.

Same question for input streams! (normally, we should deduct the input stream classes from the output stream classes)

Or did you develop yourself such input stream or output stream classes that you'd accept to share?

Thx a lot

Yes it exists, but in release 7.10 only.

ABAP Keyword Documentation - Streaming

EDIT: and in all releases after that one...
