Hi,

Check the Class CL_GOS_DOCUMENT_SERVICE method EXPORT_ATTACHMENT. You can export the attchement to a temp folder in your frontend and then read it and send it for printing which will create the spool for the attchement.

You can delete the file after your over with the processing from the temp folder using a EXTERNAL COMMAND.

Hi,

For deleting file from presentation server use FM:

GUI_DELETE_FILE

hi Hai Wang,

Use the Class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES it will help you so many ways to work with folder and files in the presentation System. read documentation as well as every method description of this class you can understand better, all most all are static methods you can use them very easily wang.

Thanks And Regards
