accessing attachments from 'services for object'

[Former Member]

I have been tasked with extracting data from external attachments from the 'services for object' button. I am working in an sap 4.7 environment. I have not found any tips on how to do this from google searches.

Here is an example. If you look at most of the major documents (purchase order, invoice, delivery, etc.) there will be a little dropdown icon in the upper left corner of the screen (check out page 1 of this file - http://www.le.ac.uk/mis/docs/sapdocs/ug/UG5-1%20Services.doc)

That icon is the 'Services for Object' button. Clicking on it will display a small popup window with several options including one for attached documents.

If an attachment (could be word, excel, pdf, URL, etc.) exists it will show up and can be viewed by double clicking on it. Does anyone know how to access

that attachment programatically?

Thank you very much in advance.

Hi,

Please check the following method to get binary data from GOS

[code]

is_object-instid = v_bo_id.

is_object-typeid = v_botype.

is_object-catid = 'BO'.

try.

call method cl_binary_relation=>read_links_of_binrel

exporting

is_object = is_object

ip_relation = 'ATTA' " << I think it will ATTA or MESSAGE i am confused

importing

et_links = et_links.

then use

call function 'SREL_GET_NEXT_RELATIONS'

exporting

object = lo_is_object_a

ROLETYPE =

relationtype = p_reltyp

MAX_HOPS = 1

INCL_APPLRELS = ' '

EXCL_ROLES =

EXCL_RELATIONS =

tables

links = lt_links

ROLES =

APPLLINKS =

exceptions

internal_error = 1

no_logsys = 2

others = 3

if not worked then try

fm BDS_BUSINESSDOCUMENT_GET_TAB
