Issue with attaching pdf in work item

[Ali Husain]

Hello Ibrahim,
I've done that in a different way and it was working fine with me. After you convert to pdf, you can call the method CL_FITV_GOS=>GET_LINKS and pass it your BOR object along with the keys. The sofm table reference you get back you can then perform the following: 
LOOP AT ex_sofm INTO ls_sofm.  CONCATENATE ls_sofm-foltp ls_sofm-folyr ls_sofm-folno  ls_sofm-doctp ls_sofm-docyr ls_sofm-docno ls_sofm-fortp ls_sofm-foryr ls_sofm-forno INTO lv_key RESPECTING BLANKS.
  swc_create_object lr_sofm 'SOFM' lv_key.  APPEND lr_sofm TO lt_sofm.  CLEAR: ls_sofm, lv_key,lr_sofm.ENDLOOP.
swc_set_table container 'EX_SOFM' lt_sofm.
You can then bind lt_sofm with the attach_objects container element and the attachment should open when displaying the work item.
Hope this helps,Ali

> Dear Friends,
