Description)

Arguments

Part Description
Symbol Type of object. Use empty quotation marks to indicate the current symbol for the workflow.
Object Object code to attach document to. Use empty quotation marks to indicate the current object for the workflow.
FunctionCode A valid function code for the indicated symbol.
FileName Name and path of source file to attach. If you do not use the Link argument, you must include the path to the file name.

If you use the Link argument, a path is not required. The value does not have to be an actual file name; it can be any name you want to appear in the list of attachments in the user interface.

Link Optional. Path to a file in a folder that is accessible from the application server. If left blank, the FileName value is used.
Description Optional. Description of the attached file.

Description

DocAddAttach associates a file with an object. DocAddAttach does not publish documents. It attaches files that are in a shared location that the application server can access.

To learn more about viewing and publishing attachments, see the Infor Optiva Application Configuration Guide.

Example

This example attaches a ChangeHistory.txt to the current formula. Before this command was run, this file was already placed in the published location accessible by the application server: \\server01\optiva\attached_files\.

“Recent Changes” is added as a description to the user interface. 


DocAddAttach ("", "", "CHANGES", "ChangeHistory.txt", 
"\\server01\optiva\attached_files\ChangeHistory.txt", "Recent Changes")

Another possibility is to create a versioning style for your files in the published area. That way, you can attach a unique version of the file. 


DocAddAttach ("", "", "CHANGES", "ChangeHistory.txt", 
"\\server01\optiva\attached_files\ChangeHistory_Version07.txt", "Recent Changes")
