Problem with xstring attachment for SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1

[Former Member]

Hi folks,

I'm facing a problem with an attached xtring object. The scenario: Web Dynpro application takes file upload as xstring parameter. The parameter is being transfered to backend RFC which should send out an email with the file attached.

unfortunately its not being converted into the right format

I tried to upload a pdf file. Therefore I cut the xtring into 255 pieces and creatae an attachment table.

the doc_type is 'PDF'.

the email gets sent out without errors, I receive the mail, it contains the pdf but when I open it it is corrupted.

see some code:

DATA lv_uploaddata TYPE xstring.

lv_uploaddata = iv_uploaddata.

WHILE NOT lv_uploaddata IS INITIAL.

wa_objtxt = lv_uploaddata.

SHIFT lv_uploaddata BY 255 PLACES.

APPEND wa_objtxt TO lt_attachment.

CLEAR wa_objtxt.

ENDWHILE.

• attachment

wa_objpack-transf_bin = 'X' .

wa_objpack-head_start = 1.

wa_objpack-head_num = 1.

wa_objpack-body_start = 1.

DESCRIBE TABLE lt_attachment LINES wa_objpack-body_num.

READ TABLE lt_attachment INTO wa_objtxt INDEX lv_table_lines .

wa_objpack-doc_type = 'PDF'.

wa_objpack-obj_descr = 'update_request'.

wa_objpack-obj_name = 'update_request'.

wa_objpack-doc_size =

wa_objpack-body_num * 255 + STRLEN( wa_objtxt ).

APPEND wa_objpack TO it_objpack.

CLEAR wa_objpack.

*-- Sending the EMail document in given format

CALL FUNCTION 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1'

EXPORTING

document_data = lv_doc_data

put_in_outbox = c_false

• commit_work = konst_x

TABLES

packing_list = it_objpack

contents_txt = it_objtxt

contents_bin = lt_attachment

receivers = it_reclist

.

am I doing something wrong?

kind regards

use this f.m to convert the otf to pdf...

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF'

EXPORTING

format = 'PDF'

max_linewidth = 132

IMPORTING

bin_filesize = v_len_in

TABLES

otf = i_otf

lines = i_tline.

use below f.m to convert it to 255 char

CALL FUNCTION 'QCE1_CONVERT'

TABLES

t_source_tab = i_tline

t_target_tab = so_ali[]

EXCEPTIONS

convert_not_possible = 1

then pass it to f.m SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1

OTHERS = 2.

[Former Member]

what is the use of the function 'CONVERT_OTF'

and what do i need to proide to it what is the otf? is it the table consisting of char255 ?

what if I have different attachments like an xls sheet or word doc I suppose i need dfferent converters I can't find much ressources here.

lv_uploaddata = iv_uploaddata.

translate lv_uploaddata using '~ '.

WHILE NOT lv_uploaddata IS INITIAL.

I am not sure if this helps but you might want to add the above code and see if it works.

[Former Member]

adding translate lv_uploaddata using '~ '. makes the attachment more than twice as big as the original file and I still can't open it

without it the attachment is perfectly sized
