ArchiveFile in binary format

rbuser

Hi,

Is it a way to store ArchiveFile .raf in a full binary format insteed of
ascii format ?

I have to send my .raf file and I want them to be smaller as possible.

Thanks

Hi Serge,

AFAIK an archived report is stored in a binary format (not plain ASCII), but
is isn't compressed.
You can write your own ArchiveDevice or use your own archive function, the
latter do I.
I read the freshly written RAF file into a stream, which then is used as
input for a zip component.
The packed result is written to disk and the RAF source gets deleted.
In addition I had to create my own ArchiveReader to handle the compressed
archive files.
