ABAP send external email

[former_member621299]

I use FM SO_OBJECT_SEND to send external email in my Z program but the output always in attachment format, depend on the format i specified (pdf,htm,txt,xls). I want the output to be in standard email body. How to do it?

[sudhahar_ramachandran]

you have to write the output in the email body insetad of making it as attachment. its always better to keep it as an attachment as we do not know how long the report output will be.

with regards,

Hello,

Check the importing Parameter : objcont .

This will hold the data for the body of the message.

att_cont holds the attachment contents

For message body the format should be in RAW

Formats for attachment:

XLS=>Excel file

RAW=>Text file

PDF=>PDF file

Cheers,

Remi

Hi,

Can you please send your code or check if you are passing att_cont parameter in your function module. I would suggest you to use SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 function module to send mail.

Also find the code below for your reference.

Use the format 'RAW'. you will get in body.

Thanks and regards,

Use FM "SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1".

[Former Member]

Use the following code.

DATA : doc_chng TYPE sodocchgi1,

objpack TYPE sopcklsti1 OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE,

objhead TYPE solisti1 OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE,

objbin TYPE solisti1 OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE,

reclist TYPE somlreci1 OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.

reclist-receiver = email address.

reclist-rec_type = 'U'.

reclist-com_type = 'INT'.

APPEND reclist.

l_objbin-line = 'Hai how are you?'.

APPEND l_objbin TO objbin.

objpack-transf_bin = 'X'.

objpack-head_start = 1.

objpack-head_num = 1.

objpack-body_start = 1.

objpack-body_num = tab_lines.

objpack-doc_type = 'RAW'.

objpack-obj_name = text-018.

objpack-obj_descr = text-019.

objpack-doc_size = tab_lines * 255.

APPEND objpack.

CALL FUNCTION 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1'

EXPORTING

document_data = doc_chng

TABLES

packing_list = objpack

object_header = objhead

contents_bin = objbin

receivers = reclist

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.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno

WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.

ENDIF.

COMMIT WORK AND WAIT.

SUBMIT rsconn01

WITH mode = 'INT'

WITH output = ' '

AND RETURN.

I had used the 'RAW' but it produce pdf attachment. I want the message to be in email body because it is just payment notification and very short content. Moreover my client want this way.

I also had use SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 but it produce the same result.

is there any configuration involved in this? i have check transaction code SCOT, i cant see the format configuration.
