Function BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2

[Former Member]

Hi,

we created a z program to upload documents using BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE2.

When we click on a custom field system open a popup asking the path from which import the document.

After this an error message compares saying that dms object has not been created.

Now my question is: "Is there any max number of chars for the directory?" I know in windows is 260 but in my case the directory and the file has less than 260 chars.

The file has a number of chars equals to 62 (this number doesn't include the extension i.e.: .pdf)

Thanks

Best regards

Are you actually trying to upload from a PDF?

Yes it's a pdf

The network path is:

Z:\Supply Chain\_Acquisti\Contratti in essere\Fornitori Commerciali\2013

In the folder 2013 there is a document, the name of this file is: "Contratto d'Acquisto - Parti Commerciali - 20130130 da firmare.pdf"

If I upload it from a local path (i.e. my PC) or If I rename the document into "Prova.pdf" uploading works correctly.

Hi AA,

Is your Network Folder is Share able ? if (y)

LT_FILES-DOCFILE =  " \\your source IP Address \ your share able folder name \ file name .pdf "

Example : \\ 192 .168.0.1 \ Share_Folder_Name \ File_Name.pdf

Regard's

And you have a reasonable capability to parse the pdf into your fields for your BAPI?

PS:  What function are you using to read the file?  This probably gets more at the question that you asked about.

I renamed the document from "Contratto d'Acquisto - Parti Commerciali - 20130130 da firmare.pdf"

to Prova.txt and I tried to upload again the file from the network path "Contratto d'Acquisto - Parti Commerciali - 20130130 da firmare.pdf" and it works.

I think that is related to the lenght of the path but I don't know how many chars is the max limit

[Former Member]

I click F1 in the popup with the path, then I get the name of the structure: RLGRAP-FILENAME

Double click on it and then I get the following:

FILENAME LOCALFILE CHAR 128 0 File locale per upload/download

Is it a z program that you are doing this in?

[Former Member]

Check the program after reading the document path it would be storing in a variable before passing to fm check the variable length it might be truncating.

You do know that by having chosen a correct answer that you will tend to get no more responses?

[Former Member]

Yes I know that thanks,

I verified the structure RLGRAP-FILENAME and I can see a limit of 128 chars for the path

Glad you are done.
