a way to get attachment programmatically

[Former Member]

Hi experts, i'm new in ABAP development and I have a problem.

I looked for solution in this forum but i didn't find anything to help me.

In the CRM COMMPR01 transaction, for a specific product, i uploaded an attachment (a jpg image); now i have to develop a FM to get this file in any way (such as providing me a URL to download it or giving me the binary code of my file).

Using debug and stuff like this, i found that my image is stored (clustered) in the SOFFCONT1 table and I found the correct procedure to identify all the rows of this table which contain my image... the problem is that i can't read this image because of the rappresentation format of field CLUSTD wich contains the image code.

I've read that i may use the instruction IMPORT ... FROM DATABASE but i didn't understand how to use it, so:

- in general, is there any way to get access at the attachment (FM, class or something to get URL or binary code)?

          - if not, how can i get binary code of my image starting from the sum of all CLUSTD field of all the rows of SOFFCONT1 associated to my image?

Thank you so much

Hi,

Have a look at function modules starting with BDS_BUSINESSDOCUMENT*

I have used fm BDS_BUSINESSDOCUMENT_CREATEF to add an attachment to a purchase requisition and it works fine.

Maybe FM BDS_BUSINESSDOCUMENT_GET_C_URL will do the trick ?

Hello you both and thank you for your answer...

FM BDS_BUSINESSDOCUMENT_GET_C_URL is not so easy to use because you have to search many parameters, even if it makes the whole process simplier. Anyway, i found a way to get simply the attached documents using the FM SO_DOCUMENT_READ_API1 as explained in the 3d http://scn.sap.com/thread/1450845.

so...

• starting by PRODUCT_GUID
• select * FROM SRGBTBREL into lt_SRGBTBREL where INSTID_A = line_return-PRODUCT_GUID.
• call function 'SO_DOCUMENT_READ_API1'

          exporting

            DOCUMENT_ID = lt_SRGBTBREL-INSTID_B

          tables

            CONTENTS_HEX = lt_CONTENTS_HEX.

lt_CONTENTS_HEX is a table which contains the binary code of the attachment divided in rows.

Thank you, see you soon.
