HTML email using SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

We have an issue with a custom program that sends HTML email notifications. I am using function module SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1. The CONTENTS table will have HTML tags. The issue here is that the content or body of certain emails are blank. Not all emails generated from this program has this issue. When i look at these blank emails in SOST, i could see the contents. Only thing is when the user receives this email in his external email address, the contents are missing and he can see only the subject of the email. Has anyone faced this issue before? Is there any desktop settings that needs to be changed inorder to view HTML email? Let me know ASAP. Points will be rewarded for sure.

Below is my code to send HTML emails.

packing_list-head_start = 1.

packing_list-head_num = 1.

packing_list-body_start = 1.

packing_list-body_num = count.

packing_list-doc_type = 'HTML'.

packing_list-obj_descr = 'Notification'.

packing_list-obj_name = 'Notification.htm'.

packing_list-doc_size = ( count - 1 ) * 255 +

STRLEN( contents-line ).

APPEND packing_list.

CLEAR packing_list.

CALL FUNCTION 'SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1'

EXPORTING

document_data = document_data

commit_work = 'X'

TABLES

packing_list = packing_list

contents_bin =

contents_txt = contents

receivers = real_recipients

EXCEPTIONS

too_many_receivers = 1

document_not_sent = 2

document_type_not_exist = 3

operation_no_authorization = 4

parameter_error = 5

x_error = 6

enqueue_error = 7

OTHERS = 8.

Maria.

Hi guys,

I am working on this topic as well, but I am facing some major problems.

We are running 4.6C at the moment (yes, I know, its old ) and I am not able to send any HTML email.

You are using the document_type = 'HTM'. Unfortunately, it is not available in 4.6C.

The document_type refers to the truth table TSOTD which does not contain HTM.

I add HTM manually but its still not working. Which System are you using?

Maria,

Did you ever figure out how to get html into the body of an email?

Dear ArS,

Thanks for the code. It fails to send anything in the e-mail body. It just has the subject filled.

Ideas why?

Hi Guys,

The code works for me. I have ECC 700.

I have the same issue.

I noticed that, document_data-doc_size info doesn't send correctly to the function. I suggest you to control this information, it solves my problem.
