Problem with Mail-Attachments in an Unicode-Systems

[Former Member]

Hi everybody,

we have a problem mailing a attachment by using the class CL_DOCUMENT_BCS in a Unicode system, WAS 7.0

We attach a textfile using the method

    CALL METHOD lr_document->add_attachment
        EXPORTING
          i_attachment_type    = lv_extension
          i_attachment_subject = lv_dateiname
          i_att_content_text   = oti_object.

The mail should have a TXT-file in ASCII.

With NOTEPAD, the attachment looks fine.

However with WORDPAD and other applications, all german characters are two bytes, so it seems to be in a UTF-8 format.

Is it possible to say the class, that the attachment should be ASCII?

Regards,

Stefan

Hi,

Try to use

  try.
      a_sofm_document = cl_document_bcs=>create_from_text(
                   i_text = text
                i_subject = subject ).
    catch cx_bcs into bcs_exception.
      error_handling
      'cl_document_bcs=>create_from_text' bcs_exception->error_type.
  endtry.

** attachment
  if w_att = 'X'.
     try.
        call method a_sofm_document->add_attachment(
                  i_attachment_type = 'RAW'
                  i_attachment_subject = 'My attachment'
                  i_attachment_size = '21'
                  i_att_content_text = text ).
      catch cx_bcs into bcs_exception.
        error_handling 'a_sofm_document->add_attachment'
                                      bcs_exception->error_type.
    endtry.
  endif.

Hi a®s,

thanks, but this is the way I do it.

Example:

The parameter

i_att_content_text

gets the text:
"the quick brown fox jump over the lazy dog äöüß,:/?!+*"

In the mail, the attachment has the text:
"the quick brown fox jump over the lazy dog äöüß,:/?!+*"

It seems to be UTF-8.

I guess that I have to use the class

CL_ABAP_CONV_OUT_CE

and put this to the parameter

I_ATT_CONTENT_HEX

.

Is this correct and has somebody an example of this?

Hi everybody,

the problem is solved by using the class CL_ABAP_CONV_OUT_CE.
