Send excel attachment using FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1

[Former Member]

Hi ABAPers,

I managed to send excel attachment using FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1.

Let say I send it to my own email account.

But, when try to open the excel document, from lotus notes, there is warning message produced by the microsoft excel saying:

"The file is not in a recognizable format.

.

.

and so on....."

Anyway, when I click button 'OK', excel sheet will be opened and no information lost.

How can we code the abap program so that the message will not come each time I open the attachment from my lotus notes?

Or this is just the tab delimited issue?

Thank you.

Regards,

Edward.

hai,

DESCRIBE TABLE so_ali[] LINES lineno.

objpack-transf_bin = 'X'.

objpack-head_start = 1.

objpack-head_num = 1.

objpack-body_start = 1.

objpack-doc_size = lineno * 255 .

objpack-body_num = lineno.

objpack-doc_type = 'PDF'.

objpack-obj_name = 'INVOICE'.

objpack-obj_descr = 'Invoice'.

objpack-obj_langu = 'E'.

APPEND objpack.

ur document size should be calculated properly otherwise u will be getting this problem.

Hi Shan,

Thank you for replying.

I have the same as follows:

DESCRIBE TABLE lt_contents_hex LINES lv_lines.

lt_packing_list-transf_bin = 'X'.

lt_packing_list-head_start = 1.

lt_packing_list-head_num = 1.

lt_packing_list-body_start = 1.

lt_packing_list-body_num = lv_lines.

lt_packing_list-doc_type = 'XLS'.

lt_packing_list-obj_name = 'ATTACHMENT'.

lt_packing_list-obj_descr = 'Attachment'.

lt_packing_list-doc_size = lv_lines * 255.

APPEND lt_packing_list.

I'm using lt_contents_hex instead of lt_contents_bin.

Still the problem is there.

Is there any other way to calculate the doc size correctly?

Hi

describe table it_attach lines w_lines.

read table it_attach index w_lines.

w_doc_data-doc_size =

( w_lines - 1 ) * 255 + strlen( it_attach ).

w_doc_data-obj_langu = sy-langu.

w_doc_data-obj_name = 'SAPRPT'.

w_doc_data-obj_descr = ld_mtitle.

w_doc_data-sensitivty = 'F'.

clear t_attachment.

refresh t_attachment.

t_attachment[] = pit_attach[].

Hi Shan & Jana,

Yes, it is due to doc size.

Thx for your help.
