AX attachment file size

Posted on by Wvduren 1,435

Hello everyone,

I have the following challange:

I would like to check the filesize of attachments, and calculate the total size of attachments of a certain 'type'. For example I have a filetype "PDF drawing". If an article has 3 attachments of this type, one of 1MB, one of 2MB and one of 3MB, I would like code that calculates the 6 MB for me.

Unfortunately I cannot find the filesize option in a Docuref method. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance.

Willem.

    WinAPI::FileSize will help you to find file size. Let me know if it helps.

    Thank you! That works.

    For the rest of the world here I made an example of code:

    [quote]

    static void Filesizetest_WD(Args _args)

    {

    int bytes;    
    real kb;
    real mb;
    real gb;

    bytes=WinAPI::filesize(@"C:\DOC-008276.rar");
    kb=bytes/1024;
    mb=kb/1024;
    gb=mb/1024;

    info("This file has the following size:");
    info(strfmt("Bytes: %1", bytes));
    info(strfmt("KiloBytes: %1", kb));
    info(strfmt("Mega Bytes: %1", mb));
    info(strfmt("Giga Bytes: %1", gb));

    }

    [/quote]

    The only thing I see is that above a certain size, the int becomes negative, but this does not hinder me for my requirements.

    Ok, so I tested a little more. My code works, but somewhere in the while-loop it just stops. The "Ready" message on the end of my code never displays. Although I get the right output, it stops on 3/4 of all inventtable records.

    Here my code, anyone an idea what I am missing?

    InventTable inventtabel;
    DocuRef docuref;

    int bytes;    
    real kb;
    real mb;
    real gb;
    real totaalmbproduct;

    Counter teller;
    Counter teller2;

    String255 itemid;
    String255 bestandsnaam;

    boolean fileexists;

    while select inventtabel
    {

       fileexists=false;
       itemid=inventtabel.ItemId;
       totaalmbproduct=0;
       teller=0;
       teller2++;

           while select docuref where docuref.RefTableId==inventtabel.TableId && docuref.RefCompanyId==inventtabel.dataAreaID &&    
           docuref.refrecid==inventtabel.recid && docuref.TypeId=="Te_Verst"

           {            

            bestandsnaam=docuref.CompleteFilename();
            teller++;
            fileexists=WinAPI::fileExists(bestandsnaam);

             if(fileexists==true)
              {
              bytes=WinAPI::filesize(@bestandsnaam);
              kb=bytes/1024;
              mb=kb/1024;
              gb=mb/1024;

              totaalmbproduct=totaalmbproduct+mb;

              }  

            }

              if(totaalmbproduct>10)
              {
              info(strFmt("Articlenumber: %1 , Attachments: %2, Total MB for this part: %3 mb",itemid,teller,totaalmbproduct));
              }

       }

      info(strfmt("Ready! %1 products analysed",teller2));

    }
