Dear Frederic,

thank you for your prompt response.

I did try to search a lot and at last, finally posted because I could not find a single blog or thread which will help me to understand how to read a zip file from AL11 directory. Also I am not worried about sending mail logic I have already written it.

Regards,

Please try to understand that I am asking regarding zip file, I am not talking about text file or pdf file or excel file. there are lot of opendataset codes but nothing regarding zip file

What is a zip file if not a binary file?
You have hundreds of threads on the topic and hundreds of threads on how to send them via email.

ZIP is not a magical format, it's like any other non-text file.

It does not matter what type of file is it if you read it in "BINARY MODE".

[DoanManhQuynh]

do you mean that you want to read the content of zip file, or what we call unzip it? maybe CL_ABAP_ZIP is what you looking for, but how to read the content of zipped file is difference thing based on what file zipped. if you don't have to care about file content, just read the zip into xstring and send it.

Hi Simson,

have you got solution for this?

I want read .GZ file from AL11. Searched a lot but not able to find any solid solution. Please let me know if you have resolved this problem.

Thanks

Use this code, handle errors, and that's done...

data: dset    type string,
      xstring type xstring.

dset = '/tmp/file'.
open dataset dset for input in binary mode.
read dataset dset into xstring.
close dataset dset.
