Hi sonal,

you can use

<b>SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1</b>

this is to send with attachment.

to send without attachment

<b>SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1</b>

Hi sonal sharda,

the function 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1' is more or less not state of the art and difficult to handle. Meanwhile, SAP introduced the Business Communcation Services, a much more flexible and future-oriented OO attempt to Mail.

See this code snippet for a mail with a subject longer than the old-fashioned limit of 50 characters:

*     -------- create persistent send request ------------------------
      send_request = cl_bcs=>create_persistent( ).
 
*     -------- create and set document with attachment ---------------
*     create document from internal table with text
      APPEND 'Hello world!' TO text.
      document = cl_document_bcs=>create_document(
                      i_type    = 'RAW'
                      i_text    = text
                      i_length  = '12'
                      i_subject = '' ).
 
*     add attachment to document
*     BCS expects document content here e.g. from document upload
*     binary_content = ...
      CALL METHOD document->add_attachment
        EXPORTING  i_attachment_type = 'DOC'
                   i_attachment_subject = 'My attachment'
                   i_att_content_hex    = binary_content.
 
*subject line more than 50 chars
      DATA: T_SUB TYPE STRING.
      t_sub = 'This is testing to send email where subject line more than 50''.
      call method send_request->set_message_subject( t_sub ).

Using the new Class CL_BCS is quite easy. SAP provides sample programs

BCS_EXAMPLE_1

BCS_EXAMPLE_2

BCS_EXAMPLE_3

BCS_EXAMPLE_4

BCS_EXAMPLE_5

BCS_TEST01

BCS_TEST04

BCS_TEST05

BCS_TEST06

BCS_TEST09

I checked BCS_EXAMPLE_1. This program provides what you need in very simple matter.

Good luck!

Clemens
