Saving Hexadecimal data

Former Member — Wed, 30 Mar 2005 23:40:03 GMT

Hi,

I have a hexadecimal file , which I have in an internal table. The contents of the Iternal table are from a PDF file on my local machine, by calling:

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'

What I want to do is save this information in a database table, so that any user can then get access to it from their machine. What is the easiest way of doing this - I tried creatin a Database table with data type raw, but it always gives me the double number of digits I need.

The iternal table for the function above , is defined as

DATA: mycontent_table LIKE bapiconten OCCURS 1. This uses the data element type SDOK_SDATX , which it does not let me use for the field definition.

Is there a simple way of doing this?

Thanks.

You could try EXPORT TO INDX instead of using a database table.

Hi Sims,

I'm sorry I did not quite understand the situation.

1. Are you successful in uploading the data to the internal table ? Or is this where you find the trouble ?

2. What are you referring to by <i>"a certain database table"</i>?

Hi,

the basic idea is this. I have a PDF file available on my machine. I want to transfer the file into the database, so anyone can get access to it.

I have got the data from the file in Hex format using the upload function mentioned. I need to know how to store this data into a database table.

The upload function is working fine. From the database I would then call a method of the document viewer to display the file. This works fine as well.

Thanks
