File upload

Former Member — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 12:00:27 GMT

Hi,

I want to read data from (upload) PDF file (not Adobe forms) into SAP i.e. I want data of PDF file into internal table. Is it possible? I tried to use the FM 'GUI_UPLOAD' but it is giving me junk characters.

I tried to search on the SDN but did not get the solution. If this is not possible, is there any standard document supporting this?

Regards

Upload via GUI_UPLOAD into a binary table. I declare mine like"

data: gt_itab type table of tbl1024.

Then GUI_UPLOAD with filetype = 'BIN'.

If you need to handle, you can use SCMS* function modules to convert binary table to xstring, etc. If you want human readable, you will have to go through some conversions, perhaps to string, since the PDF data will be in binary format.

There are posts about this....search the forum for more information!
