Function Module for Excel and Email

[Former Member]

I have to write some ABAP routine in BW.

Below is the scenario:

Reading records from request packet, storing it in some internal table, and then by calling some FM to store in Excel Sheet, and then sending that excel sheet on external mail.

Whats the Function Modules for saving the output into excel format and sending the file using email?

You can use SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 to send excel attachments.

Here is a sample code to send excel as an attachment.

report ZMAILTEST.

parameters: p_email type somlreci1-receiver

default 'you@yourcompany.com'.

data: begin of it001 occurs 0,

bukrs type t001-bukrs,

butxt type t001-butxt,

end of it001.

data: imessage type standard table of solisti1 with header line,

iattach type standard table of solisti1 with header line,

ipacking_list like sopcklsti1 occurs 0 with header line,

ireceivers like somlreci1 occurs 0 with header line,

iattachment like solisti1 occurs 0 with header line.

start-of-selection.

select bukrs butxt into table it001 from t001.

• Populate table with detaisl to be entered into .xls file

perform build_xls_data .

• Populate message body text

clear imessage. refresh imessage.

imessage = 'Please find attached excel file'.

append imessage.

• Send file by email as .xls speadsheet

perform send_email_with_xls tables imessage

iattach

using p_email

'Example Excel Attachment'

'XLS'

'TestFileName'

'CompanyCodes'.

************************************************************************

• Form BUILD_XLS_DATA

************************************************************************

form build_xls_data .

constants: con_cret type x value '0D', "OK for non Unicode

con_tab type x value '09'. "OK for non Unicode

*If you have Unicode check active in program attributes thnen you will

*need to declare constants as follows

*class cl_abap_char_utilities definition load.

*constants:

• con_tab type c value cl_abap_char_utilities=>HORIZONTAL_TAB,

• con_cret type c value cl_abap_char_utilities=>CR_LF.

concatenate 'BUKRS' 'BUTXT'

into iattach separated by con_tab.

concatenate con_cret iattach into iattach.

append iattach.

loop at it001.

concatenate it001-bukrs it001-butxt

into iattach separated by con_tab.

concatenate con_cret iattach into iattach.

append iattach.

endloop.

endform.

clear xdocdata.

read table iattach index xcnt.
