Attach text file on email

Former Member — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 15:34:53 GMT

Hi,

I must attach one table like file ".txt" at an email.

I use the call function "SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1" and I can send email with attachment the text file.

When I open this file, it is not properly aligned like I see it into table during program process.

If I change the file extension in ".doc", it's attached and is properly aligned.

Do you konw tell me if I must change some function parameter's settings?

Thanks, Davide.

Dear Venkat,

also if I use the character "#" like record's separator the file remain not aligned.

The body's file after the modify that you have suggested me is this:

I must have the body's file like is below:
