Using FM SO_OBJECT_DOWNLOAD

siongchao_ng — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 09:51:32 GMT

Hi all,

I am having problem in using this FM. I want to download any file to my local desktop from the file attachment list of an employee in PA20/PA30. I kept on getting Access via 'NULL' object reference not possible error message.

This is how I use it. The filename is obtained through the a pop up box asking user to input a file name with a file path.

CALL FUNCTION 'SO_OBJECT_DOWNLOAD'

EXPORTING

BIN_FILESIZE = 0
DEFAULT_FILENAME = ' '

filetype = 'BIN'

path_and_file = lo_stru_output_param-file_name "C:\Users\sc\Desktop\xyz.pdf

EXTCT = ' '

no_dialog = ' '

CODEPAGE =
IMPORTING
FILELENGTH =
F_CANCELLED =
ACT_FILETYPE =
ACT_FILENAME =

TABLES

objcont = lt_object_cont

EXCEPTIONS

file_write_error = 1

invalid_type = 2

x_error = 3

kpro_error = 4

OTHERS = 5

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

Have you executed in debug to see what value you're missing? Something needed is not there...thus the NULL.

Use this:

DATA lr_conv TYPE REF TO cl_abap_conv_out_ce.

DATA lv_data TYPE string.

DATA lv_xfile TYPE xstring.

lv_data = 'Example text, which will be opened in MS Word.'.

cl_abap_conv_out_ce=>create( RECEIVING conv = lr_conv ).

lr_conv->convert( EXPORTING data = lv_data

IMPORTING buffer = lv_xfile ).

cl_wd_runtime_services=>attach_file_to_response(

EXPORTING i_filename = 'wd4a.doc'

i_content = lv_xfile

i_mime_type = 'application/msword' ).
