Arguments


Part	Description

`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.

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")
