FIle Upload.....

[Former Member]

Hi Guys,

I have used FileUplad in my application and it works fine. But i want to know during uploading of file where exactly it stores the file (which buffer area)? And is it possible to attach the same document with the table control on different screen? Share your ideas.....

Thanks,

Ravin

hi ravin,

when u upload the file,file data will be stored in a attribute which u have binded to data property of the

FileUpload. And data format will be in xstring format

ok, as data-file is binded to data property of fileupload then how to retieve that same file? I think, there should be some buffer area behind it and how to bind the same file with table?

Hello Ravin,

the "buffer" is the context attribute of type xstring which the data attribute binds to. If you bind the filename attribute to

context (to a different context attribute), it will contain the filename of the uploaded file. Same with the other attributes.

Hi Ravin,

I guess this blog takes you through the end to end scenario, makes u understand the process of binding the fields for uploading an offline form..

Hi Ravin,

I was reading your discussion and thought that you could help me. I am using ABAP Web dynpro and am trying to attach document to the form.

I used fileupload UI element. I created a node in the context attachment with an attribute of type xtring. I bound the UI element to this.

Am doing it the right way? and also how will we be able to view this attachment?

Hope to hear from you.

Thanks,
