Attaching file in module pool

former_member1292715 — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 12:09:40 GMT

Hello Guys,

I have a screen which has a button called Attach File (can be any file). If I click on the button, I can select a file from presentation server and that file should be attached for the particular data. And I have another button called Display Attachement, in that case I should be able to display the attached document.

I searched SDN, I couldn't find any closed posts on this.

Anybody please help me out to get me a solution for this. If anyone has demo program, kindly share it across.

Regards,

Yasin.

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'

EXPORTING

Thanks a lot Suri. It's really great and it is working fine. But I have a concern in that.

I am attaching these files based on some RS_NUMBER (is in a Z table) as object key. And in case if I delete the RS_NUMBER from the database table, is it possible to delete the attachments also?

Thanks again.

Yasin.
