How to retrieve attachment file

Question

I am trying to create a program that will retrieve an Attachment that a candidate has uploaded into the eRecruitment system. Infotype HRP5134 has a pointer to the attachment, but where is the attachment stored? Is there a method, function module or BAPI that can retrieve the attachment?
I want to retrieve the file and get the size of the file.

Answer 1

Hi Subbu,
It is not stored in Archive.  I got the solution.  I just want to share with u.  Actually i wanted the size of the documents.  I came out with the solution in 2 steps.
1 step.  : I retreived all the attached document through function module HRRCF_MDL_CAND_ATT_RETRIEVE (suggested by u).
2 step : i took the URL and used the function module SCMS_HTTP_GET_WITH_URL.  this gave me the size of the document in bytes. (thats what i wanted)
Thank you very much for your efforts
Sample code for your knowledge
v_obj-plvar = '01'.
v_obj-otype = 'NA'.
v_obj-objid = '50000020'.
CALL FUNCTION 'HRRCF_MDL_CAND_ATT_RETRIEVE'
EXPORTING
   cand_hrobject       = v_obj
   langu               = sy-langu
  HTTPS               =
IMPORTING
   records             = it_record
   messages            = it_error .
LOOP AT it_record INTO wa_record.
  CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_HTTP_GET_WITH_URL'
    EXPORTING
      url                         = wa_record-attachment_url
  BLANKSTOCRLF                = ' '
   IMPORTING
     length                      = length
     contenttype                 = contenttype
     mimetype                    = mimetype
     charset                     = charset
     version                     = version
    TABLES
      data                        = data1
   EXCEPTIONS
     bad_request                 = 1
     unauthorized                = 2
     not_found                   = 3
     conflict                    = 4
     internal_server_error       = 5
     error_http                  = 6
     error_url                   = 7
     error_signature             = 8
     OTHERS                      = 9
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
        WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
  ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
