IW52 add attachment converted to binary

Hello,

I'm currently trying to attach to SAP, on transaction IW52, a file that is sent from a web portal. This file is sent on the format of XTRING, which then i convert it to binary and upload into SAP.

When going into transaction IW52 the attachment appears, which means that i can attach it, but the problem is when i'm trying to open it which instead of performing a display of the document it asks me for a path to save the file.

I can handle the saving part changing a variable (EXTCT) from value 'K' to ' ', which is suposed to control the display of the file, but when i set it up to space (' ') it opens the file, but without any content.

Technical details:

The web portal sends the file in a variable of the type XTRING which in SAP (using FM SCMS_XTRING_TO_BINARY) is converted into binary and then using FM SO_OBJECT_INSERT is attached to transaction IW52.

Part of the code is displayed bellow:

lv_type = 'EXT'.

            CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'
              EXPORTING
                buffer        = im_path_portal
              IMPORTING
                output_length = bytecount
              TABLES
                binary_tab    = file_tab.

            CALL FUNCTION 'SO_FOLDER_ROOT_ID_GET'
              EXPORTING
                region    = 'B'
