[Former Member]

i'am reading the question :

i have the same problem : "How to check if there any attachment exists "

I use the class cl_gos_attachment_list to display

all attachments file to an object; it's ok, _but i want only to know if exist any attachments file for an object whithout display

sombody speak about te class GOS_ATTACHMENT_QUERY

but we are in SAP 46C2.

somebody knows another way to check if exist any attachment without display ?

could you help me ?

Try BIN_REL_OF_ROLES_GET - it is used inside BINARY_RELATION_CREATE to check if binary relation exists already, it seems. You might want to read more on [attachment creation using GOS|http://friendlyabaper.blogspot.com/2008/07/oh-my-gos.html] and then work from there in kind of a reverse order.

At my previous company, we were doing this to check to see if there are any attachments.

data: xborident TYPE  BORIDENT
  data: documents type standard table of neighbor.

  xborident.

* check if there are any attachments
  refresh documents.
  call function 'SREL_GET_NEXT_NEIGHBORS'
       exporting
            object       = xborident
            roletype     = 'APPLOBJ'
            relationtype = 'ATTA'
       tables
            neighbors    = documents.

  if documents[] is initial.
* then there are no attachments!!!
  endif.

Thanks a lot ; i try with the MF 'SREL_GET_NEXT_NEIGHBORS'

it's ok.

do you know where is the link between the object ( WORKORDER or MATERIAL for example) and the object id FOLxxxx and where are store the attachments files ; in wich table ?

Thank you very much for your answer
