I am using the following code to open a document from SAP database

It works fine for MS word 2003 documents but it is not working for MS word 2007 (*.docx) documents.

it gives error DOCUMENT_TYPE_NOT_REGISTERED for call open_document method.

CALL METHOD CONTROL->GET_DOCUMENT_PROXY

EXPORTING

DOCUMENT_TYPE = 'WWI'

DOCUMENT_FORMAT = ''

IMPORTING

DOCUMENT_PROXY = PROXY

RETCODE = RETCODE.

IF RETCODE NE C_OI_ERRORS=>RET_OK.

EXIT.

ENDIF.

CALL METHOD PROXY->OPEN_DOCUMENT

EXPORTING

DOCUMENT_URL = DOC_URL

OPEN_INPLACE = 'X'
open_readonly = 'X'
protect_document = 'X'

IMPORTING RETCODE = RETCODE.

IF RETCODE NE C_OI_ERRORS=>RET_OK.

EXIT.

Hi,

open the .docx document and save it as .doc and use it.

Regards.

in MS word 2007 you have an option to always save in .doc rather than by default .docx

try this:

Go to transaction smw0, press table ICON at top right, next press execute button.

Next screen via menu Settings->maintain mime types.

Here you can maintain all sorts of document types.
