Attachment has no extension

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I can make shift note attachment via tx. shn1.

Before it was saved, I can still display the attachment (excel format, or plain image).

The attachment more or less looks like this: filename.xls

When I save, and check it in display mode via tcode SHN2, the attachment filename become like this:

<SID>000000384

Notice that the file name change, and the format extension disappear.

I can't open the attachment this way.

"This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel."

Can you help?

Thanks.

Hi Lori,

Have you configured KPRO and used content server as your storage. In this case the file extension will be retained as it is.

In other cases the system generates its own naming convention for the filename.

Hope this helps.
