Attach multiple files in GOS

jakob_steen-petersen — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 20:45:58 GMT

When using the GOS Class the user can Attach documents one by one. But is it possible to let the user Attach multiple files in one step (by selecting multiple files with SHIFT or CTRL button upon file selection)?

Hi,

Are you trying to do this via a program, or via the GOS GUI interface?

If via a program, which class/method are you currently using?

I'm not sure what you mean by 'the GOS class'.

cheers

Paul

Hello,

Unfortunately the Services for Object icon can only be provided when the application which is calling it is not run in the batch input mode. The reason or this is explained in SAP note 569421: the use of a GUI control is not permitted in batch input.

Regards,

David

@Poul It´s the GOS class: CL_GOS_MANAGER

You did not actually answered his question, I reformulate.

Are you calling some methods of this class in one customer program or thru the classic icon displayed by creation of an occurence of cl_gos_manager in a customer or standard report ?

Raymond

Sorry: i´m using the Class in a customer program. Just as standard behavior. But when we select the create document function we only have the possibility to select 1 file at a time - the users wants to select multible files.

But if it´s not possible i will develop my own function.

You can start with Note 961713 - Structure of table SGOSATTR and documentation of BAdI like GOS_SRV_SELECT or GOS_SRV_REQUEST. Also transaction SGOS to manage table SGOSCUST.

You will also have to set the MULTISELECTION in the call of CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_OPEN_DIALOG.

Hi Raymond

Well the Badi could be the solution, but using setting the multiselection parameter does not do it alone does it? I mean if i go for the BADI solution i will have to reprogram the Create Attachment stuff all by my self right?

If so i will need to know how to attach a document directly?

Do you have an example?

To attach a document search scn for FM BINARY_RELATION_CREATE (multiple threads already)

You could add your own Zxxx option to SGOSCUST for "multiple file attachment", copy from PC_ATTA of SGOSATTR, and create your z-class from CL_GOS_SRV_ATTACHMENT_CREATE for method signatures.

Raymond

Hi,

If the standard option doesnot cater your requirement,you can disable the existing create attachment option, add your own attachment option to the GOS menu using http://zevolving.com/2008/10/generic-object-services-gos-toolbar-part-1-add-new-option-in-the-toolbar/ and handle it by redifining the method execute http://zevolving.com/2008/11/generic-object-services-gos-toolbar-part-2-handle-added-service-in-the-toolbar/

Now, select multiple files using CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_OPEN_DIALOG, then perform the below logic( its just few parts of the code, I hope you will understand it )

Loop at you file names and call as below,
