Reg: Call method document->add_attachment

Former Member — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 12:11:05 GMT

Hi,

We are sending attachments by email using set of cl_document_bcs -> methods.

When we try to send 2007 document files as attachment,i.e docx,xlsx files.The file type is getting truncated.

The reason is that the attribute of this method i_attachment_type is of type SOODK-OBJTP of length 3 chars only.

CALL METHOD document->add_attachment

EXPORTING

i_attachment_type = v_extension_type

i_attachment_subject = v_attachname

i_att_content_hex = it_content_binary.

Any suggestions to overcome this issue.

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Keerthi

Even i have tried the same. Try using the 2003 formats only. Is 2003 format not working for you???

Have a look at note 1459896 - BCS: Support for four-digit file name extensions

it has sample source code.

Hello, I just pas through that problem.

1. I applied note 1433744, to allow to have file name with the proper extension "XLSX".

2. When using the method add_attachment, the parameter i_attachment_type = 'EXT'.

3. Be sure to have the parameter I_ATTACHMENT_SIZE setproperly

Doing so, I have been able to have the right filename as attachment and been able to open the file without error in the Excel 2007.
