UPLOADINTOSTREAM Function (File)

Type: Boolean

If you omit this optional return value, a run-time error occurs if the record cannot be found. If you include a return value, it is assumed that you will handle any errors.

true if the file was uploaded; otherwise, false.

The maximum size of the file to be uploaded is specified by the MaxUploadSize setting in the CustomSettings.config file. The setting is specified in megabytes. For more information, see Configuring Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server.

In the new architecture the business logic is run on the Microsoft Dynamics NAV server and not on the client. This means that in Microsoft Dynamics NAV, files are created on the Microsoft Dynamics NAV server and not locally on the client computer as is the case with the Classic client. When you write code for Microsoft Dynamics NAV, you must therefore remember where the files are created.

Use UPLOAD Function (File) and UPLOADINTOSTREAM Function (File) to send a file from a RoleTailored client to Microsoft Dynamics NAV server.

Use DOWNLOAD Function (File) and DOWNLOADFROMSTREAM Function (File) to send a file from a Microsoft Dynamics NAV server to a RoleTailored client.

We recommend that you use the functions in Codeunit 419, 3-Tier Automation Mgt., to upload and download files.

This example requires that you create the following variables.

FileName := 'c:\SomeFile.txt';
UPLOADINTOSTREAM(‘Import’,'',’ All Files (*.*)|*.*’,FileName,NVInStream);
