use the HTML tags with the text.

As an example suppose you want to send

"This is an information message which describe how to format the text which is sent in a mail"

just insert few tags like

..<BR>

This is an information message which

<BR>

describe how to format the text which is sent in a mail

<BR>

will put a break and the message will appear like..

This is an information message which

describe how to format the text which is sent in a mail

Use char utilites they will act as escape sequences in your text. like if you want a tab in email you would concatinate a separator in between of your sting ....and so on.....

SEPARATOR = CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB

in above example i have shown a horizontal_tab you can very well use

HORIZONTAL_TAB

VERTICAL_TAB

NEWLINE

CR_LF

FORM_FEED

BACKSPACE

SPACE_STR

SPACE_STR_LANGU

I think for this you need to set the Document size

DATA: DOC_CHNG TYPE SODOCCHGI1,

DATA: L_OBJTXT TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF SOLISTI1,

DATA:L_FILELINES TYPE I.

DESCRIBE TABLE L_OBJTXT LINES L_FILELINES.

Create the document which is to be sent

DOC_CHNG-OBJ_NAME = 'Direct Deposit Expense Report'.

DOC_CHNG-OBJ_DESCR = 'Direct Deposit Expense Report'.

DOC_CHNG-DOC_SIZE = L_FILELINES * 225.

And this parameter need to be passed in FM

CALL FUNCTION 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1'

EXPORTING

DOCUMENT_DATA = DOC_CHNG

Hi,

There is no big deal in tag, this is simple thing. you just need to insert the tag at a point where you want to terminate your line and start a new line..

Lets say:: mail_content(800) conatain => "Hi amnsrfbkbcf klhadslh asdkldhaslhdasjdjasl;kjdla this is third line and this is fourth line thanks & Regrds"

It is not readable i suggest you to insert <BR.>

mail_content(800) conatain => "Hi <BR.>amnsrfbkbcf klhadslh asdkldhaslhdasjdjasl;kjdla <BR.>This is third line and <BR.>This is fourth line<BR.> thanks & Regrds".

It will appear in mail body as::

amnsrfbkbcf klhadslh asdkldhaslhdasjdjasl;kjdla

this is third line and this is

fourth line

thanks & Regrds

Note <BR.> is <BR> with out "." As this page will understand the tag(*=*)

Hi Raj

The field in which I am putting data is 255 char long

so i have to append after every 255 chars, and when i append, automatically next record comes in next line

but i dont what this to happen, i want o/p in proper para, whether mail is opened in a small window or large window.

i hope issue is clear .
