HI,

Type of data depends upon the data element of field in the segment of an idoc, if you are able to create the data element for binary data then it might be possible to send the binary data. You can try to send the binary data as string. But I have not come across any message type or basic type which allows to send binary data.

Thanks,

Asit Purbey.

Hi,

Idocs dont conatin data in character format rather then binary format.

You can use mqseries while trasfering idocs which provide handling of binary data types. Binary data will be exchanged by Byte[] data types.

No Idoc does not suppurt binary files(images). but depending on the image you want to send there are function modules tat can sent those images.
