Hi,

Create a cell editor of type File Download UI and use attach_file_to_response to display the attachment.

Or you can even create a button/ link_to_action and in onAction of the button/link to action, get the xstring of the file from context and display the file.

Hi Jay,

You could set the cell editor of your ALV column to a LinkToAction...

  data lo_interfacecontroller type ref to iwci_salv_wd_table .
  data lo_model                    type ref to cl_salv_wd_config_table.
  data lo_column_settings    type ref to if_salv_wd_column_settings.
  data lo_column                  type ref to cl_salv_wd_column.

  data lo_linktoaction            type ref to cl_salv_wd_uie_link_to_action. 

 * Get ALV model
  lo_interfacecontroller = wd_this->wd_cpifc_my_alv( ).  " here, wd_this is the view
  lo_model = lo_interfacecontroller->get_model(  ).
 
 * Set LinkToAction as the column's cell editor
  create object lo_linktoaction.
  lo_column_settings ?= lo_model.
  lo_column = lo_column_settings->get_column( 'COLUMN_ID' ).
  lo_column->set_cell_editor( lo_linktoaction ).

Then have the LinkToAction open your attachment as needed. For example, if the attachment is stored as a SmartForm, .

Cheers,
