Check the different methods in class CL_ABAP_ZIP. This will help you to zip the contents. I don't think password protection is possible. You can try executing a UNIX command to achieve password protection, using the FILTER option (for executing unix command) in ABAP program.

Hello Chris,

All you need to do is execute the UNIX command using the FILTER option in OPEN_DATASET.

I found out that the UNIX command for zip with password is zip -P <password> -r ZZZZ.zip ZZZZ.TXT. Not sure whether this is correct. You have to try it. But the important thing here is you should know who to execute the unix command from abap program.

1. Use Open Dataset with filter option.

2. Construct the UNIX command - concatenate and put into a string.

3. Execute the TRANSFER statment with the above string. (This is like executing the UNIX command)

4. Close the dataset.

You can give it a try. Not very sure whether it is going to work.

Thanks,

Vijay

if OPEN DATASET with FILTER 'zip...' doesn't work, you may create the file normally, and compress it with password into another file by calling a unix command (zip or whatever). To call any unix command, see forum or sap library (SXPG_* function modules and SM62 transaction)
