Read and convert a MIME object xstring to SOLI table data

If you are working in WebDynpro with PDF forms or Office Documents, you may want to store templates in the Mime repository and then manipulate them before sending them by email, or attaching them to objects using object services.

You need to read the Mime object, and convert it from xstring into a SOLI table. The following code makes that easy and quick.


REPORT zzzzzzz.

DATA:
mime_repository TYPE REF TO if_mr_api,
mime_xstring TYPE xstring,
mime_length TYPE i,
mime_soli TYPE soli_tab,
url TYPE string VALUE '/SAP/PUBLIC/BC/mymime.doc'.

mime_repository ?= cl_mime_repository_api=>get_api( ).

CALL METHOD mime_repository->get
EXPORTING
i_url = url
IMPORTING
e_content = mime_xstring.

CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'
EXPORTING
buffer = mime_xstring
IMPORTING
output_length = mime_length
TABLES
binary_tab = mime_soli.

* The MIME object is now in mime_soli ready for SAP Office processing.
