Get Non SAP : URL file as Xstring or binary string

[former_member599147]

Hi.

Has anybody an idea if there is an URL for Preview Scanned document file need to convert the preview file as Xstring or binary tab?

Idea is export a URL file

https://smartuat.gep.com/P2P/PreviewInvoiceById?dd=YnBjPTE5ODc5OCZkYz0yODE0MjU1&oloc=107

and get back an Xstring or binary tab.

Would really need your help.

Thanks in advance for all your ideas.

Difficult to understand what you say. An HTTP request returns bytes only, how can it be xstring or binary tab? The response of any HTTP request can be read, so what's the problem? Please give more details.

Use the class CL_HTTP_CLIENT to read the response from URL (the methods create_by_url, send, receive, and then response->get_data).

TIP - If you read a HTML of that PreviewInvoiceById page you can find, that there is another service (GetPDF) which returns PDF file. You can ask provider for more info.... But that is not about ABAP. For ABAP part see Sandra's answer.

Hi Sandra,

I need to get that PDF which is showing in URL link and pass it for GOS attachment in MIR4 as a PDF attachment not as URL.
