Reading a file

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Is there any way to read an Encripted file in ABAP . My file is encripted as PGP(http://www.cs.hmc.edu/qref/pgp.html#encrypting).

Thanks in advance.

Hi Thomas,

Are you able to open the file in excel format? If so Just enable the Macros....

You can then read the file using normal GUI_UPLOAD function module.

You'll need to decrypt it at the OS level first; normally the sending party will encrypt the data with the public key you've provided them, and you can then decrypt it with your private key. In the past I've written shell-script wrappers to execute the PGP commands to encrypt/decrypt interface data like this, and called those commands via function SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE from ABAP; for inbound interfaces you call the decrypt function then read the resulting file and for outbound interfaces you create the file then call the encryption function.
