Hello Naveen,

if I understand your question correctly - you are interested in attaching a file into an email. You would like to know if there are any standard WDA utilities for doing this.

The answer is no. There are WDA UI elements that can help you retrieve a file - as many others here have posted. But to send an email is not really a WDA function.

I would suggest you do a search of SCN, as there are many references about how to send emails from ABAP - but these are not WDA specific, although you could use them in a WDA application.

Good luck in solving your problem.

hi,

u may upload a file from the desktop in ur webdynpro .. thn u can save it in database and can download accordingly..

1.create a node 'FILEUPLOAD' with 2 attributes

a) FILECONTENT type XSTRING

b) FILENAME type STRING

2. Create a fileuplaod uielement

a) bind the data property with attribute 'FILECONTENT'

b) bind the filename property with attribute 'FILENAME'

3. Create a button 'UPLOAD'

a) create the action method for this button and save the contents of file in database

Data l_node type ref to if_wd_context_node.
Data l_stru type wd_this->elements_cn_fileupload.
 
l_node = wd_context->get_child_node( 'FILEUPLOAD' ).
l_node->get_static_attributes( importing static_attributes = l_stru ).
"save l_stru-fielcontent in database. Your file will be saved in the database in XSTRING format.

Now when you want to display this file;

1. Create a Node 'FILEDOWNLOAD' with 1 attribute

a) FILE type XSTRING

2. Create a filedownload uielement

a) bind the data property with the attribute 'FILE'

Fetch the file from database and set the File attribute of the filedownload uielemnt to display the file.

Hi ,

Have a look at the fileUpload UI element.It allows you to select a file from the system and store the contents like file's data,file path,mime type etc in context nodes.
