Send e-mail without attachment

[Former Member]

Hi ABAPers,

Following FM is used to send e-mail with Excel attachment:

   * Send email
  CALL FUNCTION 'SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1'
    EXPORTING
      document_data              = ls_doc_data
      put_in_outbox              = 'X'
      commit_work                = 'X'
    TABLES
      packing_list               = lt_packing_list
      contents_bin               = t_attachment
      contents_txt               = t_message
      receivers                  = t_receivers
    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.

I now like to get rid of the attachment, all trys have failed so far... Does this FM only support text e-mail AND attachment or is there a way to get rid of the attachment?

Thanks for your help guys.

Rather than this obsolete function module, use CL_BCS and associated classes. It's much more straightforward and powerful. There's plenty of information on this site about the use of these classes.

Hi Matthew,

Thanks, for your advice, but I just want to amend an existing program without a lot of effort. Ideally just deleting some code lines, that this Excel attachment is not being sent. Is there a possibility with this FM?

Thanks

Hi Martin,

You can use the class mentioned by Matthew or else go ahead with FM 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1' as the one you are using is obsolete.

call function 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1' 

       exporting

            document_data              = ls_doc_data

            put_in_outbox              = 'X'

       importing

            sent_to_all                = gd_sent_all

       tables

            packing_list               = it_packing_list

            contents_txt               = it_message

            receivers                  = it_receivers

       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.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Deepak.

Thanks Deepak,

I implemented the new one and fiddled around, that worked! Thanks also to the others for suggesting the "new way" with class.

Have a good day and weekend all!
