Hi,

I think it is not possible. you need to upload the image through se78 and then you can show using smart forms.

thanks

Hi,

You can have graphics in your smartforms using the 'Graphic' node.

This FM HR_IMAGE_SHOW, will give you the URL to the image.

Refer post

for the use of FM HR_IMAGE_SHOW

Thanks a lot Vijay!

Yes i know this method but the problem is that the images i have are jpeg. If i want to upload them through the se78 i need to convert them all to .bmp or .tif and i don't wanna do that.

If uploading images through the se78 is the only method is there a way to check whether the image is uploaded or not.

Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot for your help!

Maybe i was not that clear. I have created a smart form where i need to show the pictures of the employees. To do so i uploaded some of them into the se78 (these graphics are named by the employees pernr) and i used the graphic node in the smart form in order to display them. However, there are some employees that do not have their pictures uploaded. So, when i execute the smart form i get an error stating that the graphic was not found. How can i solve this problem? I thought about adding some ABAP code where i will check if the graphic exists before printing it. However, i don't know how to do that.

All your suggestions are welcomed!!

Yours,

Hajar

Hi Hajar,

Add a 'program lines' node and check if the graphic exits in the system, if yes, then you set a flag,

Use 'Alternative' node, check the flag and then display the graphic.

Hi Hajar,

See this code:

CALL FUNCTION 'HR_IMAGE_EXISTS'

EXPORTING

P_PERNR = P_PERNR

P_TCLAS = P_TCLAS

P_BEGDA = P_BEGDA

P_ENDDA = P_ENDDA

IMPORTING

P_EXISTS = L_EXISTS

P_CONNECT_INFO = L_CONNECT_INFO

EXCEPTIONS

error_connectinfo = 1

OTHERS = 2.

Raj
