How to compress ASCII data in Sap?

Question: Hi Gurus,

Is there a way to compress ASCII data in SAP? I would like to save the compressed data in SAP as long text or in cluster table.

Thank you in advance.

Answer:
EXPORT ... TO DATABASE is the best option.
SAP will compress the data for you, and uncompress during IMPORT ...
