Generic Object Services (GOS) Toolbar Part 5 : Get Note attachment contents

By | February 9, 2009 | Generic Object Services (GOS) | 20,507 | 12

Shows how to get the contents of the NOTE attachements

You can find all of these discussions at Tutorials > Generic Object Services (GOS).

Today, we will see how to get the contents of the NOTE attachements.

Sometimes, we need to give the options for the attachement List when we design the some application with GOS toolbar. We will use the static method READ_LINKS from the class CL_BINARY_RELATION.

    Hi Naimesh,

    The above code helped me a lot. Now I am able to display all the notes in a customer as report output. But I have to display the NOTE TITLE, CREATOR NAME & CREATED ON.

    Could you please where to look for this information.

    Now, run the above program to get the attached NOTE contents.”

    Hi,
    Thank you for your code.
    It works great with my notes on MM02. So I’ve tried to get a note on a piece displayed from FBL5N.
    The link is stored in table SRGBTBREL (as for MM02 notes) :
    CATID_A = BO
    TYPEID_A = BSEG
    INSTID_A = 003300900005582011001
    RELTYPE = NOTE

    I made the change in your code above, but can’t manage to retrieve the note.

    What’s wrong ? Notes linked to BSEG can’t be retrieved this way ? How to get them ?

    Thanks

    Hervé
