sending HTML email with SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1

Former Member — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 22:39:46 GMT

Hi all,

I have implemented a function module to send HTML emails with SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1.

It works fine, but in every email I have at the end a CRLF which looks not very nice in MS Outlook.

It seems that this will be added to every email in addition to my HTML text.

Has anyone an idea how I can prevent this?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best Regards,

Marcel

I heard adding a

<br />

tag at end of each line, would remove it.. never test.. but might work

Hi J@y,

thanks for your quick reply. I have already tested this and also adding a CRLF at the end, but without success.

The strange thing is if I have only a short line everything works fine.

Any other ideas?

Best Regards,

Marcel

Hi J@y,

thanks for the idea, but I also have the issue in the OWA so it seems to be not an issue with the Outlook.

The article also describes, that it converts the CRLF to Space. If this would happen I would have the solution.

Thanks for your help so far. Any other idea?

Cheers,

Marcel

Hi Marcel,

did you try with CL_BCS? It may be worth a try.

Hi Clemens,

Thanks in advance,

Hi Marcel,

not only you can, you should use CL_BCS for sending of email. Although I expect it to be not too different from the old functions, it points to the object oriented future of SAP/ABAP. At least it should run more stable and SAP recommends to use it as a replacement for old functions.

I came across one blog

[Sending HTML Email from SAP CRM/ERP|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs;jsessionid=%28J2EE3417300%29ID2058700050DB10227264795501776639End?blog=/pub/wlg/2273]

You may be careful with this one: Probably it's not exactly what you need.

The one I love most for its simplicity is this one

[Unknown thus unloved?|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs;jsessionid=%28J2EE3417300%29ID2058700050DB10227264795501776639End?blog=/pub/wlg/3443]

although it does not mention HTML - I think easy for you to adapt. Compared to functional SO_DOCUMENT.. approach the program will shrink.

If you want to understand the concepts behind, nobody explains it better than

or - if you still feel unsafe in oo environment -

Happy coding!
