Hi All,

I want to zip/compress a file using SAP BODS 4.2.5
Is it possible to zip any file(for example .TXT) using the SAP BODS.Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Indira

We zip files by using 7-zip and calling from the exec() function in DS.

Hi,
you can try the following Code:

exec(’<path of 7za.exe>’,‘a -t7z’ , 8 );

Path of 7za.exe can be generally - C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7za.exe - Please check your installation folder

Command ‘a’ is used to specify Archive in 7zip command line
Command -t7z will create Zip the file with 7z extension, alternatively you can use -tzip

This code works to password protect(hello) and zip it.

– Password protect

Exec (‘c:\Program Files\7-zip\7z’, ‘a -t7z -phello \<PAth>*.txt’);

thanks
