CL_DOCUMENT_BCS question?

Former Member — Wed, 09 Apr 2014 07:19:30 GMT

I am sending a text based contents of an internal table as an attachment in email. My code is as follows:

DATA lo_document TYPE REF TO cl_document_bcs.

lo_document->add_attachment(
         EXPORTING
            i_attachment_type = 'RAW'
            i_attachment_subject = 'attachment'
            i_att_content_text = lt_attachment[] ).

I am getting the output attachment in the email as attachment.RAW. Is there a way I can get rid of the ".RAW" extension? I need the attachment file without any extensions.

Having a blank for attachment type outputs the file in binary file which is not of use to me.

Thanks in anticipation

Hi Ramprasad,

Attachment type is mandatory field in class method-CL_DOCUMENT_BCS~ADD_ATTACHMENT so you have to provide the attachment type.

Hi,

in table TSOTD you can find the list of valid types. Maybe type EXT may solve your issue.

I tried EXT. It does produce an attachment file without file extension, however, the file is a binary file. I need the file to be opened in a text editor and be able to see text. Other types in the table are of no use to me. Thanks for your suggestion anyway.
