I wonder if I can use JOB to invoke a routine and specify a file as the input device. Does anybody know how to do this?

I realize that my HTML contains references to css files. I do not yet have the css files where pandoc is running.

Maybe I have not installed enough for pandoc to work properly in my container. Are there other tools for programmatically creating pdf (from html)?

The first file I tried to convert to PDF displays at the source system, but it does not look exactly as expected. I copy ther pdf to csp directory and display it there. I also tried a simple html file and it works correctly end-2-end.

I have seen files transferred inside JSON and I want to try it here. Before (now) I have this code to generate response object:

Set context.Response = ""
 If 1=request.%IsA("EnsLib.HTTP.GenericMessage") {
   If (context.StatusLine = "") {
      Set context.StatusLine = "HTTP/1.1 200 OK"
   }
   If (##class(%File).Exists(context.Outputfile)) {
     Set tStream = ##class(%Stream.FileBinary).%New()
     Set tSC = tStream.LinkToFile(context.Outputfile)
     If $$$ISERR(tSC) Do ##class(Oliver.Util).DebugStatus(tSC)
   }

   //Set tSC = tmp.%Save()
   Set context.Response=##class(EnsLib.HTTP.GenericMessage).%New($Get(tStream),,request.HTTPHeaders)
   Do context.Response.HTTPHeaders.SetAt("application/pdf","Content-Type")
   Do context.Response.HTTPHeaders.SetAt(context.StatusLine,"StatusLine")
   Set tSC = context.Response.%Save()
 }

I confirmed the file is readable and displays correctly.

Thank you for clarifying the double encoding I was doing.

I just tested my code with a HTML document. Will it work with %Stream.FileBinary?

Here is my lookFile method which gets the stream for %Set:

ClassMethod lookFile(pFile As %String = "https://jira.devops.myserver.com/my-jira/plugins/servlet/raven/attachmen... 1343.docx", pFileNew As %String = "") As %Stream.Object

{

    Set q = """"

    Set tData = q_pFile_q

    Set tFileOutlog = "/ICS/jira/wlogDATA"

    Set tFileOutput = "/ICS/jira/wgetDATA1343.docx"

    Set tSC = ##class(Oliver.ZF).JiraGet(tData,tFileOutput,tFileOutlog)

    ;

    Set tEncodeFN = ..GetEncodeFilename(pFile)

    Set tEncodePath = "/ICS/jira/"

    Set pEncode = tEncodePath_tEncodeFN

    ;

    Set tEncodedFilename = ##class(Oliver.Base64).B64EncodeWordDoc(tFileOutput,pEncode)

    Set pStream = ..GetStream(pEncode)

    Quit pStream

} 

Why do you say the stream is typically a binary stream?

This is the method where I get the Stream:

ClassMethod GetStream(pFile As %String = "/tmp/shortObjectFile.txt") As %Stream.Object

{

    Set pStream = ##class(%Stream.FileCharacter).%New()

    Set pStream.Filename = pFile

    Quit pStream

}

The code to produce the encoded file will be in my next response.

Enrico, thank you very much for your help!

I use this line of code to get a base64 encoded Stream:

Set pStream = ..lookFile(value)

I use this line to set the stream into the dynamic object:

Do obj.%Set("data",pStream,"stream>base64")

It works when I use the filename

set newObject = {}.%FromJSONFile("c:\tmp\longObjectFile.txt")

Thank you, Julius for the example.

I replaced set newObject = {}.%FromJSONFile(file) in my code with set newObject = {}.%FromJSON(file) to get rid of the error.

Thank you, Julius. I will give it a try...

Note: Base 64 encoding is not able to encode a string which contains unicode (2 byte) characters. If you need to Base 64 encode an unicode string, you should first translate the string to UTF8 format, then encode it. s BinaryText=$ZCONVERT(UnicodeText,"O","UTF8")
s Base64Encoded=$system.Encryption.Base64Encode(BinaryText)
Now to Decode it:
s BinaryText=$system.Encryption.Base64Decode(Base64Encoded)
s UnicodeText=$ZCONVERT(BinaryText,"I","UTF8")
