PeopleSoft File Attachments : Converting User Filenames before uploading in the record or server
Converting User Filenames If a user attaches a file through the browser dialog box generated by the AddAttachment function, the filename may be converted before that filename is returned to the AddAttachment call for storage. For example, the file My Resume.doc is returned through the AddAttachment parameter as My_Resume.doc, with the space changed to an underscore. No comparable mapping occurs for user filenames with the PutAttachment function, which requires the user filename as an input parameter rather than an output parameter that is returned to the user. Instead, before storing the ATTACHUSERFILE value, you should invoke code similar to this: &ATTACHUSERFILE = Substitute(&ATTACHUSERFILE, " ", "_"); &ATTACHUSERFILE = Substitute(&ATTACHUSERFILE, ";", "_"); &ATTACHUSERFILE = Substitute(&ATTACHUSERFILE, "+", "_");
