ABAP Program Send email with PDF Attachment Problem

Former Member — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 08:49:45 GMT

Hi all,

I am having a problem with my program when I try to send a pdf attachment by email. The email i sent over to the user's inbox but is unable to open the attachment. Error message 'the file cannot be opened and might be damaged' is displayed when trying to open the attachment.

Below is the snippet of my code. please help to see if something is wrong with my code, i have gone through all the forums and still cannot find a solution as it is still giving me the same issue.

APPEND it_mess_bod.
it_mess_bod        = 'Message Body text, line 2...'.
APPEND it_mess_bod.

IF p_sender EQ space.
    gd_sender_type = space.
ELSE.

Hi Ramindra,

you may go the hard way using the outdated and buggy FM SO_...SEND. Or have a nice time and easy future

Sending attachment using cl_bcs classes

Here is the code:
