e-mail format

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a requirement in an ABAP program to send out mail in a tabular format. I am using function module SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 for sending e-mails and it is working fine.

But how do I format the e-mail in a table format like

Number Date Item No Description

10000023 07-06-2006 00000001 Testing for format

with horizontal lines seperating the rows and vertical lines seperating the columns (like a table in word).

Thanks and Regards,

Mick

Create a SAP Script and convert it into PDF type then send an Email Attachent

I will give you some code bellow
