Email attachment corrupt

Former Member — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 19:12:25 GMT

Greetings,

I am working on a program to send an email with an attachment from an SAP ECC6 Unicode system. I have used this same program in other versions of SAP, including ECC6, without a problem. Currently it uses the function so_object_send. But I have also tested using the class and methods for cl_bcs as well as function so_new_document_att_send_api1. All have the same issue where the attachment is corrupted. Instead of seeing the binary data for a pdf or tif. It looks like every other character within the attachment is a null or space. Has anyone else seen this happen with email attachments? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank You,

Alec

Hi,

Use this below logic to convert attachment data to hex instead of binary

CALL FUNCTION 'SO_RAW_TO_RTF'
    TABLES
      objcont_old = lt_objbin
      objcont_new = lt_objbin.

  LOOP AT lt_objbin INTO l_line.
   conv = cl_abap_conv_out_ce=>create( encoding = 'UTF-8' endian = 'B').
    CALL METHOD conv->write( data = l_line ).
    l_buffer = conv->get_buffer( ).
    MOVE l_buffer TO l_hexa.
    MOVE l_hexa TO l_hex-line.
    APPEND l_hex TO lt_contents_hex.
  ENDLOOP.

Refer to this link how this FM and class is used ..http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dfv2hmgs_0fm22tggx&hl=en

I'm using this FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1

Hi,

We have applied all the recent notes including the one you referenced here. Email with attachment works out of the business workplace but just not with any variation of using so_object_send, so_new_document_att_send_api1 or cl_bcs. They test out fine on a 4.7 system but when tested on ECC6 with Unicode the attachment is corrupted.

Thank you,

Hi Seshu,

This seems to have the same problem. Can you verify it was in a pure unicode ECC6 system?

Thank You,

Alec

Hi Alec,

U can go for class CL_BCS for attachment.

Hope it helps

Hello All,

Again thank you for all the help. The answer seems to lay in oss note 1151258 and bcs_example_7. Had to treat the attachment as binary all through out the process and use cl_bcs to send the attachment as i_att_content_hex. Only then would a scanned or pdf document work. Could not even get it it work even with so_new_document_att_send_api1.

Thank You,

Alec
