attachment with no extension using SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1

aidan_mulcahy — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 10:58:26 GMT

Hi,

anyone know if it is possible to create a txt file email attachement with SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 but NOT to have the attachment name with the '.txt' extension?

I would like the attachment to be 'filename.001' but when it is emailed it being sent as 'filename.001.txt'

thanks.

Hi,

Have you tried like:


t_packing_list-doc_type = 'RAW'.
....
----
  CALL FUNCTION 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1'
    EXPORTING
      document_data                    = w_doc_data
*     PUT_IN_OUTBOX                    = ' '
     commit_work                      = 'X'
   IMPORTING
     sent_to_all                      = lv_flag
*     NEW_OBJECT_ID                    =
    TABLES
      packing_list                     = t_packing_list

Hi,

The function module documentation contains an example for sending a bmp file as raw. Please check that example to see if we have missed anything.

I'll try again.....

Just looked again. The file in SAP Outbox is fine (correct 001 extension) but the one at the recipient email has the txt (or raw) extension.

Does that mean the mail program is the problem?
