Zipping the bursted ETEXT files.

 Hi,

I am using the concept of bursting in BI Publisher to send the output file to multiple users in ETEXT format. But, the size of the files is large, hence I need to zip them before mailing (Apps Version: R12).

Also, the RDF is not being used. Instead, an XML file is being used as the Data Definition. The entire report has 3 components -

1. an XML file to get the data (data definition). Here, in the afterreport trigger, I call a package, which in turn calls the standard program 'XDOBURSTREP' to perform bursting.
2. an XML control file, which has the details like content of the mail body, subject etc.
