Hi Experts,

I am using a input box to get the path of the file to be uploaded.(I am not using FILE UPLOAD UI Element).Could you please let me know how to get the content of the uploaded file.

You will not be able to use a normal InputField to upload file contents. This is not allowed by the browser security model. You must use one of the upload specific UI mechanisms - the FileUpload UI element or as of 7.01 ACFUpDownload or FlashIslands.

Hi Arun,

why to go for InputFiled for Uploading...we have a File Upload UI Element..it is very easy to use..The data we get from this UI Element is in XSTRING format..Convert it to STRING..by using FM

Hi Arun,

I'm able to access all the links mentioned in the thread referred by me.

If you can't access those links, then may be you can browse Thomas Jung's Articles on ACFUpDownload or "Web Dynpro ABAP Flash Islands Tutorial: Multiple File Upload".
