Attaching PDF to FB02

Question

Hi
I am trying to write an ABAP program for uploading a PDF document from a smartform to SAP document in FB02 in background without any user dialog.
I am using the following FMs in sequence:
1. SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME & calling the Smartform FM enabling the OTF option in the control parameters.
2. CONVERT_OTF - converts OTF to PDF
3. SWA_STRING_FROM_TABLE - converts OTF to string
4. SWA_STRING_TO_TABLE - converts string to SAP Office table
5. SO_FOLDER_ROOT_ID_GET
6. SO_ATTACHMENT_INSERT
7. BINARY_RELATION_CREATE
My program is failing in the last step - It fails with message "No model"
Following is the code snippet for the attachment part:
CALL FUNCTION 'SO_FOLDER_ROOT_ID_GET'
  EXPORTING
    region    = 'B'
  IMPORTING
    folder_id = l_folder_id
  EXCEPTIONS
    OTHERS    = 1.
ls_object_hd_change-objdes = 'Test Radha'.
ls_object_hd_change-file_ext = 'PDF'.
CALL FUNCTION 'SO_ATTACHMENT_INSERT'
  EXPORTING
    object_id                        = l_folder_id
   object_hd_change            = ls_object_hd_change
    attach_type                    = 'OTF'
IMPORTING
   attach_id                         = l_attach_id
  TABLES
    objcont                          = lt_objcont[]
    objhead                         = lt_objhead
EXCEPTIONS
   active_user_not_exist            = 1
   object_type_not_exist            = 2
   operation_no_authorization       = 3
   owner_not_exist                  = 4
   parameter_error                  = 5
   substitute_not_active            = 6
   substitute_not_defined           = 7
   x_error                          = 8
   system_failure                   = 9
   communication_failure            = 10
   OTHERS                           = 11
CONCATENATE l_folder_id
             l_attach_id
        INTO ls_obj_roleb-objkey.
ls_obj_roleb-objtype = 'MESSAGE'.
ls_obj_rolea-objkey = '1900000557'.
ls_obj_rolea-objtype = 'BUS6035'.
lc_relationtype = 'ATTA'.
CALL FUNCTION 'BINARY_RELATION_CREATE'
  EXPORTING
    obj_rolea            = ls_obj_roleb
    obj_roleb            = ls_obj_rolea
    relationtype         =  lc_relationtype
EXCEPTIONS
   no_model             = 1
   internal_error       = 2
   unknown              = 3
   OTHERS               = 4
I am not very clear about the values to be passed to the parameters in BINARY_RELATION_CREATE.
Can anyone please assist?

hi radha,
You can attach a file like a pdf format to a document. Go to the services
for object button at the top of the document change transaction - FB02. Once
you click the button you can click the create attachment icon at the left
and a window will pop up and you can then find the file you want to attach.
thanks
