Hi Rohit,

if you dont have issues with ALV output length more than 255 columns then use this FM

SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 and send the report as attachment to mail.

Thanks

No Need to work that much just from report output screen>system>list>send>give recp address and recp type as internet user>send(Shift+F8).

if you are using alv>list>send to>reast same procedure as above.

hi,

just use function module: SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1

and sample code for sending internal table data through mail is given below it will help you:

I had to do away with my earlier method of writing the data to spool, instead i exported the data to memory using the FM LIST_FROM_MEMORY.

CALL FUNCTION 'LIST_FROM_MEMORY'

TABLES

listobject = t_listobject

EXCEPTIONS

not_found = 1

OTHERS = 2.

IF sy-subrc 0.

MESSAGE e000(su) WITH text-001.

ENDIF.

then i converted it into ASCII using LIST_TO_ASCI,

CALL FUNCTION 'LIST_TO_ASCI'

TABLES

listasci = t_xlstab

listobject = t_listobject

EXCEPTIONS

empty_list = 1

list_index_invalid = 2

OTHERS = 3.

IF sy-subrc NE 0.

MESSAGE e003(yuksdbfzs).

ENDIF.

This gives the data in ASCII format separated by '|' and the header has '-', dashes. If you use this internal table directly without any proccesing in SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1, then you will not get a good excel sheet attachment. To overcome this limitation, i used cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline and cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab to add horizontal and vertical tabs to the internal table, replacing all occurences of '|' with

cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.

Set the doc_type as 'XLS', create the body and header using the packing_list and pass the data to be downloaded to SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 as contents_bin.

This will create an excel attachment.

Sample code for formatting the data for the attachment in excel format.

u2022 Format the data for excel file download

LOOP AT t_xlstab INTO wa_xlstab .

DESCRIBE TABLE t_xlstab LINES lw_cnt.

CLEAR lw_sytabix.

lw_sytabix = sy-tabix.

u2022 If not new line then replace '|' by tabs

IF NOT wa_xlstab EQ cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline.

REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '|' IN wa_xlstab

WITH cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.

MODIFY t_xlstab FROM wa_xlstab .

CLEAR wa_xlstab.

wa_xlstab = cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline.

IF lw_cnt NE 0 .

lw_sytabix = lw_sytabix + 1.

u2022 Insert new line for the excel data

INSERT wa_xlstab INTO t_xlstab INDEX lw_sytabix.

lw_cnt = lw_cnt - 1.

ENDIF.

CLEAR wa_xlstab.

ENDIF.

ENDLOOP.

Sample code for creating attachment and sending mail:

FORM send_mail .

u2022 Define the attachment format

lw_doc_type = 'XLS'.

u2022 Create the document which is to be sent

lwa_doc_chng-obj_name = 'List'.

lwa_doc_chng-obj_descr = w_subject. "Subject

lwa_doc_chng-obj_langu = sy-langu.

u2022 Fill the document data and get size of message

LOOP AT t_message.

lt_objtxt = t_message-line.

APPEND lt_objtxt.

ENDLOOP.

DESCRIBE TABLE lt_objtxt LINES lw_tab_lines.

IF lw_tab_lines GT 0.

READ TABLE lt_objtxt INDEX lw_tab_lines.

lwa_doc_chng-doc_size = ( lw_tab_lines - 1 ) * 255 + STRLEN( lt_objtxt ).

lwa_doc_chng-obj_langu = sy-langu.

lwa_doc_chng-sensitivty = 'F'.

ELSE.

lwa_doc_chng-doc_size = 0.

ENDIF.

u2022 Fill Packing List For the body of e-mail

lt_packing_list-head_start = 1.

lt_packing_list-head_num = 0.

lt_packing_list-body_start = 1.

lt_packing_list-body_num = lw_tab_lines.

lt_packing_list-doc_type = 'RAW'.

APPEND lt_packing_list.

u2022 Create the attachment (the list itself)

DESCRIBE TABLE t_xlstab LINES lw_tab_lines.

u2022 Fill the fields of the packing_list for creating the attachment:

lt_packing_list-transf_bin = 'X'.

lt_packing_list-head_start = 1.

lt_packing_list-head_num = 0.

lt_packing_list-body_start = 1.

lt_packing_list-body_num = lw_tab_lines.

lt_packing_list-doc_type = lw_doc_type.

lt_packing_list-obj_name = 'Attach'.

lt_packing_list-obj_descr = w_docdesc.

lt_packing_list-doc_size = lw_tab_lines * 255.

APPEND lt_packing_list.

u2022 Fill the mail recipient list

lt_reclist-rec_type = 'U'.

LOOP AT t_recipient_list.

lt_reclist-receiver = t_recipient_list-address.

APPEND lt_reclist.

ENDLOOP.

u2022 Finally send E-Mail

CALL FUNCTION 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1'

No.

from SCOT mail should be send automatically since you have done all cofiguration for SMTP connect.just take a guide from basis.

Re: Send email

Rohit,

It should automatically refreshed all SEND RECIEVE process.

Why you don't ask your Basis person?

Re: Send email

arpit_shah — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 06:28:18 GMT

Hi Rohit,

After configuration in SCOT, it is a one time configuration,

and after sending mail, u have to go to SOST and send mail manually.

or u hv to call

SUBMIT rsconn01 WITH mode = 'INT'

WITH output = 'X'

AND RETURN.

after sending mail in your program.

I hope it is solved your problem.

Arpit

Re: Send email

Former Member — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 06:51:51 GMT

Hi Rohit,

In SCOT go to Settings --> Send Jobs . See if a job (Internet) already exists. Set the period to about 1 minute.

The send process will be automatically carried out every 1 minute.

If no jobs are present, create one in SCOT View-> Jobs

Hi Rohit,

i have one simeler requirement is we have certain applications which are integrated

with SAP Portal.

For these applications Data sources are maintained in two different

LDAPS.

One LDAP (enterprise directory) is for USER data and the other LDAP for

Company data(in this senario company data is nothing but business

partner role oragnization).

So here the question is, Can we use SAP standard LDAP connectors to

make connectivity to the enterprise directory(LDAP)and push business

partners data from CRM to the enterprise directory.

In Standard SAP CRM system which are standard LDAP connectors support

this functionality?

Please advice me and also let me know if we have any SAP notes for this

senario.

Best Regards

Prasad
