Open document with DOI open_document

Former Member — Fri, 16 Nov 2012 08:10:02 GMT

Hello,

I have to open a local Word document from ABAP. I call the method open_document from document proxy however, it is opened a temporary copy instead of the orginal (my document is copied to temp directory with name "~sap<guid>" and this copy is opened). Is it possible the original document to open?

Best regards,

Boguslaw Rokosa

Hi Boguslaw,

Try Below code.

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute

EXPORTING

parameter = 'c:\filename1.doc'

application = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\Winword.exe'

synchronous = 'X'

EXCEPTIONS

cntl_error = 1

error_no_gui = 2

bad_parameter = 3

file_not_found = 4

path_not_found = 5

file_extension_unknown = 6

error_execute_failed = 7

synchronous_failed = 8

not_supported_by_gui = 9

OTHERS = 10.

Best Regards

Hi Basar,

thx for your answer. Unfortunately, I cannot use your solution. I open the document with DOI because I have to use other functionality of it (I have to fill document data and save it without to use macros).

Best regards
