Hi David,

Have a look at class <b>CL_ABAP_GZIP</b> it has compress and decompress methods for zip file. Then click on the <b>method document icon</b> to see detail documentation on the signature of the method to understand how to use it.

If you were asking how to decompress the file on your desktop and not in SAP system then you should look at software like <b>winzip</b>.

Or alternatively decompress it in SAP System with CL_ABAP_GZIP and download it as text file with <b>GUI_DOWNLOAD</b> function module.

Hopping this answer your question.

Sincerely,

Alain Gauthier
