Information on CL_ABAP_ZIP class

As of Release 6.40 the class CL_ABAP_ZIP is also available to read or create ZIP files.Therefore, if We want to process
compressed files or folders, we must use CL_ABAP_ZIP, as the system creates or reads the headers or trailers required for
file processing here only.

Zipping ABAP report output.

Steps involved in the development.

1. Send report output to spool and get spool number.

2. Convert spool to PDF using CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF function module.
3. Convert Binary data to XSTRING data using SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING function module.
4. The zipping functionality is done by the class CL_ABAP_ZIP
a. use method CL_ABAP_ZIP->ADDto add a file to compress PDF file.This method requires the content in xstring fromat and
not in an internal table. If Our data is in an internal table We will have to convert it into xstring(Step-3). CL_ABAP_ZIP->ADD
method requires file name and Content in xstring format.
b. CL_ABAP_ZIP->SAVE method gives the zipped file we want. Zipped file is also type xstring.
5. As CL_ABAP_ZIP->SAVE gives xstring file, we need to convert using SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY to binary and
download using GUI_DOWNLOAD with file type 'BIN'.

Sample ABAP Program

Here is one working sample program. The report sends output to spool and based on spool, spool is converted to PDF, PDF
file is Zipped using CL_ABAP_ZIP and downloaded finally.
