Problem for attaching PDF while using CL_BCS

Former Member — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 08:17:21 GMT

Hi Gurus,

I have to send PDF as attachment and I am using CL_BCS for sending mail and attachments

I have tried following example code:

DATA pdf_content TYPE solix_tab.

DATA lp_pdf_size TYPE so_obj_len.

DATA pdf TYPE xstring.

DATA w_document TYPE REF TO cl_document_bcs,

pdf = 'TEST LINE'.

pdf_content = cl_document_bcs=>xstring_to_solix(

ip_xstring = pdf ).

lp_pdf_size = XSTRLEN( pdf ).

->The following method call is to create document for HTML format

w_document = cl_document_bcs=>create_document(

i_type = 'HTM'

i_text = OBJTXT[]

i_length = w_length

i_subject = us_subject ).

-> Now I am trying to attach PDF

CALL METHOD W_DOCUMENT->ADD_ATTACHMENT

EXPORTING

I_ATTACHMENT_TYPE = 'PDF'

I_ATTACHMENT_SUBJECT = 'TEST.PDF'

I_ATTACHMENT_SIZE = lp_pdf_size

I_ATT_CONTENT_HEX = pdf_content[].

After trying the above piece of code I was able to send email (used all required methods of class for sending email) but when I open PDF it is giving following error...

File does not begin with '%PDF-"

Please let me know what all setting I am missing.

Thanks !!!

Naveen

code reference from above document

document = cl_document_bcs=>create_document(
i_type = 'RAW'  " <--------------------------
i_text = l_mailtext
i_length = textlength
i_subject = l_subject ).


attdoctype = 'pdf'.
atttitle = 'CreateFlight'.  "<------------- no extn .pdf specified
attsize = xstrlen( pdf ).
pdftab = cl_document_bcs=>xstring_to_solix(
ip_xstring = pdf ).
document->add_attachment( exporting I_ATTACHMENT_TYPE = attdoctype
I_ATTACHMENT_SUBJECT = atttitle
I_ATTACHMENT_SIZE = attsize
I_ATTACHMENT_LANGUAGE = sy-langu

I got a very good idea with the document.

Thanks Kartik,
