How to display a file content in view

[former_member224404]

hi team,

I have files which are already uploaded in SAP. I can read the contents of the file but

I can't find the UI element where I can display the content of the file.

I have heard that IFrame can be used to solve the purpose. But using IFrame I am only

capable to show files which are in MIME objects.

Can anybody give suggestions how to achieve it?

Quick and Dirty: place the file into the HTTP-Respond and Windows will do the rest (hopefully)

Hi Mainak Aich,

You can also use <b>TextEdit UI</b> Element with which you can resitrict how many lines of a file you want to show to the end-user.

Hi,

please note that the UI element IFrame is deprecated. Depending on your need you can use Explanation, OfficeControl or InteractiveForm, for example. See also the <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/15/c07941601b1d09e10000000a155106/frameset.htm">documentation</a>

Hi Heidi,

I have files which can be .doc,.txt,.ppt,.xls or .pdf. So is there any partifular UI element

which is capable to display the contents of all these kind of files?

Hmmm, one for all and all for one? ... There's the OfficeControl for .doc and .xls and InteractiveForm for .pdf and FormattedTextView for formatted text.

Thanks, Heidi. But I am not finding suitable UI element to show text files.

Hi,

have you tried

<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/9d/a6884121a41c09e10000000a155106/frameset.htm">TextView</a> or <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/3b/219141c1d0ae5fe10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm">FormattedTextView</a> ?

You could also make a development request.

Hi Heidi,

When I am reading a .txt file inside SAP I am getting a set of hexadecimal values. Now

If I bind the values to the the value attribute of a textview then it only shows the hex values in it while executing. It can't translate it back to original ASCII format.

So tell me where the problem lies.

Hi Mainak,

Do you use IE6 or IE7? If you try it with IE7, does it still display hex values?

Best regards,

Thomas
