SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 unknown file format

[Former Member]

Hi all,

Im using SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 in my FM and it sends the email with xls attachment (filled from itab). However I can't open the .xls as it produces and Unknown File Format error.

For testing: I'm using the same SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 code in a custom executable program and it works fine. Same email, same xls and no errors when opening the xls. (running in fore- and background)

Another test: Im calling this executable program from my FM and it works fine aswell (in background).

So it seems it only produces the Unknown File Format when coded into my FM...

Any help/input appreciated...

Here is the FM code:

**also search variable SO_FORMAt in the program. You can try to use '&SO_FORMAT=ASC'. if your excel open with repair message.
