email smartform in html format

[tamra_walstrom]

Hello all,

I've been searching SDN for help with creating an email in html format via smartforms. Pavan Bayyapu's blog was really helpful and I've also used program SF_XSF_DEMO_MAIL as the basis for my program. I followed their examples exactly but my emails always appear as a .MTL attachment, never as just the body of the email.

I tried removing the file name from lo_mime_helper->set_main_html and from lo_mime_helper->add_binary_part as suggested by some other folks but I haven't had any success.

Has anyone solved this same issue? Maximum points will be given to helpful suggestions.

Thank you.

you can use this class to convert ouput in html CL_GUI_HTML_VIEWER.

[tamra_walstrom]

Thank you for the suggestion, I will look into using the class. If it solves my problem, I will increase the points.

Smartforms will create the html for me too - I just haven't been able to send it to an internet email address without getting the attachment.

Here is the code to send the Smartform to mail as PDF attachment.

If you want to send some text as Body of the Mail then follow this once

when u r callin the FM'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1'.. points to remember

1.u have to pass the body of content in table CONTENTS_TXT(ia m using I_OBJBIN) (each line a record) then. suppose i have appended 11 records to the table CONTENTS_TXT .

2.PACKING_LIST(iam usign I_OBJPACK) table u ahve to append a redord as follows

I_OBJPACK-TRANSF_BIN = ' '.

I_OBJPACK-HEAD_START = 000000000000001.

I_OBJPACK-HEAD_NUM = 000000000000001.

I_OBJPACK-BODY_NUM = 000000000000010.

I_OBJPACK-DOC_TYPE = 'RAW'.

append I_OBJPACK-.

by the above code system treat the first line in table I_OBJBIN as header and the 2nd line to 10 lines tread as body.

CALL FUNCTION 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1'

EXPORTING

DOCUMENT_DATA = WA_DOC_CHNG

Thanks for the suggestion but you'll notice in my question that I am trying to avoid the attachment.

[tamra_walstrom]

I was finally able to do this by using method create_document from class interface cl_document_bcs instead of the create_from_multirelated method. I think this will work unless I need to add images to the document.

Hi,

I came across your test pdf program on sdn. I am trying to create a smartform and attach it to an email. I copied and ran your program but when I tried to open the attachment from the email I got the error "an unrecognized token 'BT28.35' was found." in Adobe. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Scott

Hi Sir,

I have a problem when I try to send email with smartform as body.

I also read your article and I should think you can share me your experience on this trouble.

Any your suggest is very important to me.

Thank you and best regard,
