Adding attachment to workitems dynamically

Wed Jul 19 01:14:41 EDT 2006

I did one step more.

After concatenating I created an object and returned the instance. (This
acted as an alternative to SYSTEM->GENERICINSTANTIATE.

I don't know if it is the best way, but I created a method that
concatenated the key fields into the IMAGEOBJECTKEY field.  This was
then used as the OBJECTKEY I needed to be able to use
SYSTEM->GENERICINSTANTIATE for instantiating an Image Object. 

BEGIN_METHOD CONCATENATEIMAGEKEYFIELDS CHANGING CONTAINER.         
DATA:                                                              
      ARCHIVEID TYPE TOAV0-ARCHIV_ID,                              
      ARCHIVEDOCUMENTID TYPE TOAV0-ARC_DOC_ID,                     
      IMAGEOBJECTKEY TYPE SWOTOBJID-OBJKEY.                        

  SWC_GET_ELEMENT CONTAINER 'ArchiveID' ARCHIVEID.                 
  SWC_GET_ELEMENT CONTAINER 'ArchiveDocumentID' ARCHIVEDOCUMENTID. 

CONCATENATE ARCHIVEID ARCHIVEDOCUMENTID INTO IMAGEOBJECTKEY        
                                                           .       
  SWC_SET_ELEMENT CONTAINER 'ImageObjectKey' IMAGEOBJECTKEY.       
END_METHOD.

Hi Mike,

Thanks for all your help. It seems that I need to instantiate the object
before passing it as adhoc object.

However I'm stuck with binding objkey to SYSTEM->GENERICINSTANTIATE.

My BO has a composite KEY - a number and a date. I'm not sure how to
combine them to create the key.

Regards,
Manish

Yep, it's as simple as that. A SOFM attachment is a document - useful
for
things like comments or things like that.

Cheers,
Mike
