PDF attachment Email error

Former Member — Tue, 15 Oct 2013 09:23:43 GMT

Hello,

Similar type of questions have been raised many times, but this is with respect to Unicode system.

I am sending PDF attachment in mail and below is my sample code. I am reading PDF file from application server and sending in mail.

Please note that error is for some files not all files.

I downloaded that file in presentation server, its opening correctly in PDF, but in mail when checked in SOST I am getting below error:

"There was error opening this document. The file is damaged or could not be repaired"

OPEN DATASET FILE_NAME FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE .

IF sy-subrc EQ 0.

DO.

ASSIGN wa_bin TO <hex_container> CASTING.

READ DATASET FILE_NAME INTO <hex_container>.

IF sy-subrc NE 0.

EXIT.

ENDIF.

APPEND wa_bin TO lv_content_out.

ENDDO.

CLOSE DATASET FILE_NAME.

ENDIF.

* add text attachment to document

ztype = 'PDF'.

document->add_attachment( i_attachment_type = ztype

i_attachment_subject = zattname

i_att_content_hex = lv_content_out ).

As this works perfect for some files, i wonder is this anything to do with file or system which is Unicode.

Please help.

Hi gaurav,

Please check the below code

DATA: file(50) TYPE c ."VALUE './test.doc'.

data : wa_bin type xstring,

lv_ext TYPE SOODK-OBJTP,

gv_file_size TYPE zfile-zsize.

DATA: document TYPE REF TO cl_document_bcs.

open dataset file for input in binary mode.

READ DATASET file INTO wa_bin actual length gv_file_size.

binary_content = cl_document_bcs=>xstring_to_solix( wa_bin ).

document = cl_document_bcs=>create_document(

i_type = 'RAW'

i_text = text

i_length = '1000'

i_subject = lv_subject )."'attachment' ).

CALL FUNCTION 'TRINT_FILE_GET_EXTENSION'

EXPORTING

FILENAME = file

* UPPERCASE = 'X'

IMPORTING

EXTENSION = lv_ext.

CALL METHOD document->add_attachment

EXPORTING

i_attachment_type = lv_ext

i_attachment_subject = file "'My attachment'

i_att_content_hex = binary_content.

May be it will solve your problem ,If you get any issues still please get back to me .

Thanks,

Kumar
