Function module to save attachments

Former Member — Mon, 12 Jun 2006 19:59:29 GMT

Hi All,

Is there any function module to store the attachments(office documents, PDF,..etc) into the database, and then show the link to display and delete.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Regards,

Ram Enaganti.

You can use SAVE_TEXT function module for saving the texts and any type of documents.you first convert the document into text format(OTF) before saving and while retriving you can convert the text format(OTF) to pdf as well.

you cannot directly save in pdf format..

Cheers,

Abdul Hakim

Hi Ram,

You can find some solutions in this post :

Main idea would be to store the file in Binary mode on the application server and store the path in a custom Z-table.

Best regards,

Guillaume

Actually I am looking for a function module which I can call in a program to store the attachments in SAP like workitem attachments. When a user attaches the file, it should store the file and return with the link for accessing/ maintaining it later.

Ram.
