If you are using WFM, the workflow instantiation screen can be customized just like your DCT and it supports your datacapture.6.0.dtd

Check the Workflow Instantiating Screen Customization Guide for more.

I get an alert "datacapture_handleBrowserClick called" on click of browser and nothing happens after that.It seems that browser item is not supported in custom_instantiation.cfg.

Personally - I'd either assume that the user has pre-selected all the desired files before initiating the workflow --or-- provide a CGI Task (potentially as the start task) in the workflow, where I could then provide an interface for selecting additional files to add to the job (you might be able to utilize an existing URL Task for this too - I haven't done much with those, so I'm not sure what's available OOTB)

For starters, there is a file upload script in support, which you can modify to attach file in workflow. Or there are OOTB workflow which will add this step in the workflow, you can use it or modify it accordng to your needs.

Thanks for ur response.Going ahead I m trying to use CGI task to attach files from workarea but now how do I browse workarea in CGI/Perl script?
Input type as file allows me to browse my local machine not ther server workarea.

Thanks for your reply.But my other purpose of browsing folder in workarea other than attaching file is that I want user to enter path of folder from workarea.So the user rather than entering path by himself and making mistakes could select through browse button.

Please suggest if it is possible to browse folder in workarea.

Thanks,
deepti.

Not out of the box. The way I see it, you can try to hack standard FormsPublisher Browser or write your own CGI Callout Folder Browser - not that big of a deal.
