Hi,

I have already referred to these blogs.Problem in my case is ,the file content is in a table whose line type is RAW.Hence cached_response->set_data( file_content )

statement is not accepted.How do I convert the table of raw contents to xstring ?

Regards,

The function modules from function group SCMS_CONV are great general purpose converters. They can be used to go to or from strings, binary string, character tables, binary tables, etc. Have a look there.

I think SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING would be an excellent place to start.

Hello Thomas or anyone,

I am trying to open a PDF document that has been stored in binary table format as an attachment in CRM. I am using SAPGUI in an ABAP environment, not WebDynpro. I am trying to open this document in a custom container using ALV, although I know I can also open it in the attachments.

I have tried several ways, and still nothing. At least now, I am not getting an error message, or an invalid format message, etc. It just displays a blank container. The file is stored with a class CRM_P_ORD. I am trying to use method DISPLAY_IO in class CL_CRM_SINGLE_IO to open this document within the container.

Does anyone have any clues? Thanks a lot for your help..

what type of document is it. you need to set proper MIME type and set the binary content as the response object of the page. IE will decide which application to use based of MIME type for example application/pdf it will use adobe acrobat reader.

check out this weblog on how MIME type parameters are set and how the binary content is set as response object.
