send mail with attachment

[Former Member]

Hi,

I created a PDF from a sapscript, but when I want to send it trough mail, the attachment won 't open....

I sarched the forum several times, but didn 't found a solution..

This is my code

DATA: struct TYPE ITCPO.
DATA: PDFTAB TYPE TABLE OF TLINE WITH HEADER LINE,
DATAB TYPE TABLE OF ITCOO WITH HEADER LINE.

FULL_PATH TYPE STRING.

When I save the table PDFTAB[], I can open the PDF, but ailing won 't work...

Possibly caused by length of fields.

PDF returned from SAPscript is in a table with lines 134 long (2 + 132) and is binary data. Email send mainly uses attachments in internal tables of 255 char length.

so to email a PDF need to merge lines from table into longer format to maintain binary file integrity.

that is -

line 1 of output (255) = first 255 char of [ line1 of input(134) line2 of input(134) ]

line 2 of output (255) = first 255 char of [ remains of line2 of input+ line3 of input + line4 ]

etc.

fairly simple to do in a loop - but take care using CONCATENATE as this can drop / shorten spaces which will break the PDF again.

possible code:

loop at in_tab into in_tab_wa.

temp_str+len(134) = in_tab_wa.

len = len + 134.

if len > 255.

out_tab_wa = temp_str+0(255).

append out_tab_wa to out_tab.

temp_str = temp_str+255.

len = len - 255.

endif.

endloop.

• Add final bit of file

if not temp_str is initial.

out_tab_wa = temp_str+0(255).

append out_tab_wa to out_tab.

endif.

this code not tested.
