Error in PDF attachment send by SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1

Former Member — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 09:49:23 GMT

Hello,

I need to send an email with PDF attachment. The PDF file is stored on SAP server.

I use READ DATASET FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE in order to get PDF content.

I fill a table T_DATA with content (T_DATA : STANDARD TABLE OF XSTRING) => T_DATA contains only 1 line.

Then I convert XSTRING in BINARY with function SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY => fill T_DATA_CHAR (type table of solisti1)

CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'
            EXPORTING
              buffer                = s_data        => first LINE of T_DATA
           IMPORTING
             output_length         = w_output_length
            TABLES
              binary_tab            =  t_data_char.

I fill tables for 'SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1'.

APPEND LINES OF t_data_char TO t_contents_bin.
            s_packing_list-transf_bin = 'X'.
            s_packing_list-head_start = 1.
            s_packing_list-head_num   = w_cpt.
            s_packing_list-body_start = 1.
            DESCRIBE TABLE t_data_char  LINES s_packing_list-body_num.
            s_packing_list-doc_type   = 'PDF'.
...
            s_packing_list-doc_size  = w_output_length.
            APPEND s_packing_list TO t_packing_list.
....

The mail is well created but i can't open the PDF attachment because I have the message "There was error in opening. File damaged & could not be repaired".

What can I do ?

Thanks.

Hi:

The code you pasted in the question seems correct.

¿Can you paste complete code?, may be the problem is located in some other lines

Regards.

Buff

The code is unreadable in the forum...

Fortunately I can see it in the mail I received.

I don't see anything wrong. It's strange.

I assume that the constant k_type_pdf has the value 'PDF'

Sorry but I don't have more ideas.

Jordi

although your code seems to be correct but still i will suggest you to go by the OOPs method. below is the code which i wrote and its working perfectly fine:


* Convert PDF Object to type SOLIX
  CALL METHOD cl_document_bcs=>xstring_to_solix
    EXPORTING
      ip_xstring = wa_pdfobject-pdf
    RECEIVING
      rt_solix   = it_attachment.

* Initialize Mail creation
  TRY.
      obj_send_request = cl_bcs=>create_persistent( ).

* Set sender Email address
      obj_sender =
      cl_cam_address_bcs=>create_internet_address( lc_id_from ).
      obj_send_request->set_sender( i_sender = obj_sender ).

* Get Recipient's Email IDs
     obj_recipient =
           cl_cam_address_bcs=>create_internet_address( lv_recv_id ).
      obj_send_request->add_recipient(
      i_recipient = obj_recipient
      i_express = c_x
      ).


      " create documents
      obj_document = cl_document_bcs=>create_document(
      i_type = lc_type_raw " RAW document format
      i_text = it_contents
      i_subject = lv_subject
      ).
      obj_document->add_attachment(
      i_attachment_type = lc_type_pdf " add PDF attachment
      i_attachment_subject = Subject'
      i_att_content_hex = it_attachment
      ).
      obj_send_request->set_document( obj_document ).
**********************************************************************
      " send email
      obj_send_request->set_send_immediately( c_x ).
      lv_ret = obj_send_request->send( ).

ags.

Thanks.

I'll try to use the OOPs method.
