e-mailing an attachment

Hi everybody,

I'm developing a batch input and I need to send to some people an advice about errors occur during the execution. In SAP 4.6C the application runs in a job perfectly, but now in SAP 4.7.... I have some troubles.

I design a SAPScript and later I transform it. When I invoke the 'OPEN_FORM' function, it shows me the printing dialog box. I want to execute it in background and I don't want this.

My code with OPEN_FORM is:

call function 'OPEN_FORM'

EXPORTING

application = 'TX'

device = 'PRINTER'

dialog = ' '

form = 'Z_REC_PROPIAS'

language = sy-langu

options = i_itcpo.

The parameters 'application' and 'device' have some defined values and I combine all of this and the result is the same.

The i_itcpo has set the 'i_itcpo-tdpreview = 'X'.', 'i_itcpo-tdimmed = 'X'.' and 'i_itcpo-tdgetotf = 'X'.' parameters.

Please, how do I send the mail without this step (in background I can't show the dialog box)?

Regards,

Niurka

Hi,

You can use this function mdoule and code to send email.

CALL FUNCTION 'SO_OBJECT_SEND'

EXPORTING

New object: General header data

OBJECT_HD_CHANGE = R_OBJECT_HD_CHANGE

New object: Object type

OBJECT_TYPE = 'RAW'

Object should be stored in outbox

OUTBOX_FLAG = SPACE

User responsible for the transmission process

OWNER = SY-UNAME

DELETE_FLAG = 'X'

TABLES

OBJCONT = I_OBJCONT " Messages

OBJHEAD = I_OBJHEAD " Message Header

RECEIVERS = I_RECEIVERS " Receivers

EXCEPTIONS

ACTIVE_USER_NOT_EXIST = 1

COMMUNICATION_FAILURE = 2

COMPONENT_NOT_AVAILABLE = 3

FOLDER_NOT_EXIST = 4

FOLDER_NO_AUTHORIZATION = 5

FORWARDER_NOT_EXIST = 6

NOTE_NOT_EXIST = 7

OBJECT_NOT_EXIST = 8

OBJECT_NOT_SENT = 9

OBJECT_NO_AUTHORIZATION = 10

OBJECT_TYPE_NOT_EXIST = 11

OPERATION_NO_AUTHORIZATION = 12

OWNER_NOT_EXIST = 13

PARAMETER_ERROR = 14

SUBSTITUTE_NOT_ACTIVE = 15

SUBSTITUTE_NOT_DEFINED = 16

SYSTEM_FAILURE = 17

TOO_MUCH_RECEIVERS = 18

USER_NOT_EXIST = 19

X_ERROR = 20

OTHERS = 21.

Call program rsconn01 starts the SAPconnect send process. You can find
detail documentation in the online help
under Basis -> Services -> Communication

submit rsconn01

with mode eq 'INT'

and return.

Contact me for any further clarifications.

I need to attach a pdf file to my message. I call the function 'CONVERT_OTF' to do it that, and later call 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1' to send message, but at runtime my program execution finished because when I try to send th mail I receive an error message like this 'You need to invoke and OPEN_FORM or START_FORM', and just before to call those functions I invoke OPEN_FORM, WRITE_FORM, and CLOSE_FORM. I don't know why OPEN_FORM/START_FORM doesn't work, my SAPScript is active.

This is strange!

Th eoption <u>dialog = ' '</u> will switch off the dialog box, and you will not get any dialog box on execution. I think the problem is somewhere else...
