Multiple - Documents Display

All,

I am using fuction module ALINK_DOCUMENTS_DISPLAY to display Content server Documents.

So my question is

1. This function module have option to display only 1 document at a time. Is any other function module that can display multiple documents ?

2. Is any class available with the same functionality of the above said fm does ?

Ram,

Your suggestion will NOT work . This fm used for displaying documents from content server. If i am looping and calling fm will only display only the last document.

Sorry about not assign point(s)

I didn't get your answer fully. This fm display documents from content server, so displaying multiple documents of same type say PDF.

Currently this fm have option display a single document

Hi a®s,

I don't know of any FM for this purpose, but I think it should be possible.

For document display, SAP will always download a copy of the server content to the local SAP work directory. You can check this, if you display a document and, when open, check the directory.

Then they call the respective application (windows, excel, word) and create an OLE application to display/edit.

My idea is to download multiple files, create docking/splitter/dialogbox containers (one for for each document) and create document viewer instance in each control

C_OI_CONTAINER_CONTROL_CREATOR=>get_container_control

will get you the DOI Container, then

* initialize the SAP DOI Container, tell it to run in the container
* specified above and tell it to run application in-place
  CALL METHOD mo_container_control->init_control
    EXPORTING
      r3_application_name      = 'whatever your title is here'(001)
      inplace_enabled          = 'X'
      inplace_scroll_documents = 'X'
      parent                   = mo_excel_container
      register_on_close_event  = 'X'
      register_on_custom_event = 'X'
    IMPORTING
      error                    = mo_error.
*...
*   get document proxy
  CALL METHOD mo_container_control->get_document_proxy
    EXPORTING
      document_type  = mc_document_type
    IMPORTING
      document_proxy = mo_document_proxy
      error          = mo_error.

Refer to this document Desktop Office Integration (BC-CI). It helped me a lot when I tried to integrate an excel application.

But to be honest, I did not try more than one instance of OLE application. But I do not see any obstacles.

If this seems too complicated, you may try to call your function

DATA:
  gv_task TYPE char08 VALUE 'T0000000'.
    ADD 1 TO gv_task+1."increase  numeric part of task name
    CALL FUNCTION 'XYZ'
      STARTING NEW TASK gv_task
'

This will open a new session.

Good luck, let us know...

Kind regards,

Clemens
