Problem with Email attachment

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am using the method add_attachment, to add attachments to my Email.

The mail is being triggered successfully with the attachments, but with the following problems:

a. The attachment is being populated with incomplete data.

CALL METHOD document->add_attachment
 EXPORTING
 i_attachment_type    = file_type
 i_attachment_subject = attach_name1
 i_att_content_text   = it_attach[].
 

Although it_attach[] has all the data in it, the data in the attachment is incomplete.

Is there a limit on the attachment size? How can this be increased.

b. There is a space after every character in the attachment data. How can this be corrected?

Thanks,

Smitha.

Hi,

The configurations mentioned in the links above, have already been made in the SCOT transaction.

I am still facing the same issues.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

can you try converting the it_attach to binary and then pass it to i_att_content_hex to see whether you still have that problem?

[Former Member]

Hi Durairaj,

I am new to ABAP. Could you please let me know how this can be done?

How do I convert text to binary before assigning it to i_att_content_hex?

Thanks,

Smitha.

Hi Smitha,

Can you please give more information on the type of data in it_attach[] and how you are populating this internal table. Does the table contain an ABAP List, simple text or other data?

[Former Member]

Hi Surbjeet,

The data in the it_attach[] is simple text.

This table is one of the import parameters.

Thanks,

Smitha.

[athavanraja]

data: text type bcsy_text.

data: xtext type standard table of solix .

call function 'SO_SOLITAB_TO_SOLIXTAB'

exporting

ip_solitab = text

importing

ep_solixtab = xtext .

call method document->add_attachment

exporting

i_attachment_type = 'htm'

i_attachment_subject = atta_sub

i_att_content_hex = xtext.

Is i_attachment_type set to 'RAW'?

[Former Member]

Thanks Raja,

I get the complete content in the attachments now.

But the data in the attachment is not formatted correctly.

For example, "valid data" in the attachment looks like "v a l i d d a t a".

Any clues on this?

Thanks,

Smitha.

Hi,

Thanks all. The problem has been resolved.

1. The data had to be converted to hex before adding the attachment to the document.

2. The file type had to be 'RAW' .

Lokesh,

The code has already been posted above.

To configure SCOT, follow the links provided by Sudheer and aRs.

Thanks,

Smitha.
