How to create attachments from an abap program?

Former Member — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 14:23:25 GMT

I have an abap report that shows material documents.

Now by clicking on a button (at the end of each row), it should allow the user to attach a document.

How to achieve this?

(I tried to see the code behing the Private Objects of a document at FB03 but I could not decipher it much).

Thanks,

Ven..

This does not help - it tells about adding the attachment to a transaction

I am looking for a similar functionality to include in an abap report..

I found this link after searching with "attachment"

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/0e6b0d95-0a01-0010-4696-ca0a48de5fb3

I think this should be the solution for my query..

The above link I pasted refers to attachment for the whole report output - rahter at header level.

However..

I need to insert a button per line on the ALV report and when the user clicks on it should display the current list as well as allow him to attach a new document.

How to attach a document at line item level?

If you use GOS to create attachments, the attachments are linked to the key of the business object, so if you define the key as document number concatenated with document line number then the attachment should be attached to that particular line.

Use method START_SERVICE_DIRECT from class CL_GOS_MANAGER together with the appropriate service reference to display / add attachments - search these forums if you need help on how to do this.

I tried per the blog above but I am getting short dump in the step CREATE_ATTA (case 3).

SET_HANDLER_HOBJ_NULL dump occurs at

SET HANDLER is_service-service->on_service_canceled FOR me.

The service is getting returned as blank and so the dump seems to be occurs.

Per the above specified blog, What does the screen 100 contain?

Also, there seem to be some differences between 46C and ECC5 versions.

Does anybody have steps for ECC5?

********************************************************************

Resolved this by passing the service as PCATTA_CREA and not CREATE_ATTA..

CONSTANTS : objtype TYPE borident-objtype VALUE 'ZGOS2'.
DATA : manager TYPE REF TO cl_gos_manager,
obj TYPE borident,
gs_lopr TYPE sibflpor.

parameter: srlno type matnr.

IF srlno IS NOT INITIAL.
    obj-objtype = objtype.
    obj-objkey = srlno.

    gs_lopr-instid = srlno .
    gs_lopr-typeid = 'ZGOS2'.
    gs_lopr-catid = 'BO'.

AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.

CREATE OBJECT manager
      EXPORTING
        is_object    = obj
        is_bc_object = gs_lopr
        IP_NO_COMMIT = 'R'      "This is commit document for that material.
      EXCEPTIONS
        OTHERS       = 1.
ENDIF.

try this it will work
