Hi,
use method cl_swf_utl_convert_por=>convert_bor_to_ibf( ). Also properly defined structures will parse data without need of offset reading/parsing.
Example:
     data:
         lt_attachment         type  swrtobject,
         lt_wapi_message       type  swr_msgtab,
         ls_docid              type  soentryi1,
         lv_subrc              type  sy-subrc,
         lv_doc_id             type  sofolenti1-doc_id
     field-symbols:
         <ls_attachment>       type  swr_object
     call function 'SAP_WAPI_GET_ATTACHMENTS'
         exporting
             workitem_id     = me->mv_workitem_id
             user            = me->mv_username
             language        = me->mv_language
         importing
             return_code     = lv_subrc
         tables
             attachments     = lt_attachment
             message_struct  = lt_wapi_message
     if ( lv_subrc <> 0 ).
         "! Handle error / messages
     endif.
     loop at       lt_attachment
         assigning <ls_attachment>
         lv_doc_id = cl_swf_utl_convert_por=>convert_bor_to_ibf( i_bor_por = <ls_attachment>-object_id ).
         ls_docid  = lv_doc_id.
     endloop.
