    Has anyone been able to work with attachments in LSO? With Portal I could use writeattachrec and getattachrec, but I haven't been able to work with Attachments in LSO so far.

      In LSO we use JScript. There is no direct support but you can try the following.

      I should mention that those 2 CGI programs are quite antiquated and I know that IOS has created some ‘actions’ that they would prefer we use:

      ADDATTACHMENT
      CHANGEATTACHMENT
      DELETEATTACHMENT
      LISTATTACHMENTS
      READATTACHMENT

      Here’s an example of building a LISTATTACHMENTS API (in C#):

      // build the ListAttachments base API

      StringBuilder listApi = new StringBuilder();
      listApi.AppendFormat("{0}{1}", S3Constants.ActionFrameworkPath, S3Constants.ListAttachments);
      listApi.AppendFormat("?dataArea={0}", form.Productline);
      listApi.AppendFormat("&fileName={0}", tableName);
      listApi.AppendFormat("&indexName={0}", indexName);
      listApi.Append("&outType=XML");
      baseApi = listApi.ToString();

      Then you have to append a key string. Here’s an example of a fully constructed API:

      /lawson-ios/action/ListAttachments?dataArea=PATCH901&fileName=PURCHORDER&indexName=PCRSET7&outType=XML&K1=3535&K2=20100507&K3=333&K4=&K5=0

        Thanks for the help. I was able get started with the StringBuilder, but am having trouble using the S3Constants.ActionFrameworkPath and S3Constants.ListAttachments. Can you tell me what library they're in?

          In 9.1.3 the S3Constants are in Lawson.Shared.S3 I think the dll is LawsonShared.dll.

          The two constants corresponds to ActionFrameworkPath = "/lawson-ios/action/" and ListAttachments = "ListAttachments" so just using those strings will do the trick or using the S3Constant that would be more robust for future change ... even though I don't see why they would change.
