hi ,

do it in this way :

1 insert a file upload UI element

2 bind the DATA property of the element with context attribute of type string

3 in the Onaction method for uplaodaing ur file element , write the corresponding code

use FM 'HR_KR_XSTRING_TO_STRING' .

to convert XSTING FORMAT DATA into STRING FORMAT.
