Email attachment in 4.7

[aidaj_hilton]

We have upgraded from 4.5B to 4.7. Previously the attachment was emailed with the form name e.g form.pdf. Since the upgrade the name of the attachment is the same as the email description. This is causing a problem since the recipient's firewall does not accept the new file name. Any suggestions on how to send with a file name different from the object description.

Thanks,

Jill

Hi ,

The name of email attachment depends on how it is created and sent. CAn you give more details as whether these are custom programs or standard programs .

We faced the same issue and had to fix case by case.

Cheers.

please post the code of FM you are using to send email.

recently i corrected same problem.

i tell you best way to solve this problem.

In 4.7 , goto se37, enter this FM, and click where used list button. then look into various SAP program, there is a new parameter added in Export. just add this one to your code. and it will work fine.

if you need more help , post this FM's CODING .

Using standard SAP function modules

The relevant code is as follows

...

CLEAR I_ITCPO.

I_ITCPO-TDCOPIES = 1.

I_ITCPO-TDNOPREV = ' '.

I_ITCPO-TDNEWID = 'X'.

I_ITCPO-TDDATASET = 'Agency'.

I_ITCPO-TDIMMED = 'X'.

I_ITCPO-TDLIFETIME = 8.

I_ITCPO-TDTELELAND = ADRC-COUNTRY.

I_ITCPO-TDCOVER = ' '.

I_ITCPO-TDTITLE = EMAIL_TITLE.

CALL FUNCTION 'ADDR_GET_NEXT_COMM_TYPE'

EXPORTING

STRATEGY = 'ZINT'

ADDRESS_NUMBER = ADR6-ADDRNUMBER

PERSON_NUMBER = ADR6-PERSNUMBER

IMPORTING

COMM_TYPE = LVS_COMM_TYPE

OTHERS = 6.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

• convert communication data

ENDIF.

CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'

EXPORTING

ENDIF.

...

Prior to the upgrade the variable SS_FORM was the name of the attachment. Post upgrade the name of the attachment is the same as the email title (EMAIL_TITLE).

Hope you can help.

Thanks Anjali.

However,

As you can see from my code I am using the OPEN_FORM (DEVICE = MAIL) to send the form, not the function module SO_SEND.... Therein lies my problem. How can I specify the name of the attachment, different from the email title.
