Unable to download .docx file in abap

[Former Member]

Hi Guys,

While downloading the .docx file in code the file gets downloaded properly. But when opening it locally it a message is shown that the file is corrupted and can be repared. When I clickon ok. It gets repaired. I didnt have the problem with .doc file. Internally, the MIME type of the .docx file is saved as 'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document'. The .docx file is read from a content server as a binary file and also written on the application server as a binary file (line lenght 1022)

Can anyone tell why the contents of the file could not be viewed while opening in the application the file but can be viewed when saved as local file( the pop up information with a message that the file was corrupted and could be repaired appeared first. I choose the ok button for the file to be repaired and the content was then showed)?

Thanks in advance

Hi Maria,

I had exactly the same problem, and the error was the length of the binary. When you convert the file from binary to xstring, the parameter "input_length" should be exactly the length of the binary.

If the length doesn't fit, the file is downloaded ok, but the "corrupted file error" appears...

I hope it helps!

Dear

I guess it has problem with .doc extension but

  .txt you can read

and also .docx and .xlsx will provide the content

it is only this .doc and .xls which will create problem.

e.g. .docx after downloading will give one .zip file.

change its extension to .doc or .docx. the content will be there.

thanks

Dear

Check which msoffice installed on your system install msoffice 2010 then it will read docx properly

Hi,

on my System i have msoffice 2010. I need to make some adjustments when downloading the binary file from the content server to application server. With msoffice 2007 I didnt have any problem with the code. The Binary file is retrieved from the content server using the FM SCMS_DOC_READ and is written on the application server using OPEN DATASET xxxx FOR OUTPUT IN BINARY MODE. I need to keep it in binary mode. As I said it works fine with .doc files.

Thanks.

Hi Maria,

do you have to kind of issue also within the DMS transactions CV02N when displaying such a file or when downloading the file with report DMS_KPRO_READ?

Best regards,

Hi,

both the CV02N and the report DMS_KPRO_READ are not working for me because we have our own implementation.

Is there any alternative FM to SCMS_DOC_READ to  read the office 2010 file (in binary) from the content server?

Should they be some additional steps to do with the binary file before writting it on the application server for office 2010 documents?

Thanks

Hi Maria,

thanks for the information. But is it generally possible for you to download the files with report DMS_KPRO_READ or do you also get an error message with this report?

Best regards,
Christoph

How can I call this report in my own implementation?

Thanks

Hi,

DMS_KPRO_READ is not working for me. I dont have the expected parameters.  Is there any other solution? is there any customizing setting I should have think of compare to office 2003?

Thanks
