Solved: HTML in email body

former_member219399 · ‎2012 Jan 31

Hi,

Can someone please let me know how can I send a email with formatted body. I am planning to use HTML for formatting.

I am using the method

cl_document_bcs=>create_document(

i_type = 'HTM'

i_text = html

i_length = conlengths

i_subject = subject ).

This is not working. However I am able to attach HTML file to the mail .

Thanks and regards,

Vamsi

We have used like this and its working

TRY.

lo_send_request = cl_bcs=>create_persistent( ).

lo_document = cl_document_bcs=>create_document( i_type = c_html_format

i_text = it_html_body[]

i_subject = lv_subject_text ).

lo_send_request->set_document( lo_document ).

add recipient with its respective attributes to send request

LOOP AT lt_dist_emails INTO ls_dist_emails.

CLEAR: lo_recipient.

lo_recipient = cl_cam_address_bcs=>create_internet_address( ls_dist_emails-mail_address ).

CALL METHOD lo_send_request->add_recipient( EXPORTING i_recipient = lo_recipient

i_express = c_x ).

ENDLOOP .

Add sender email address

CLEAR: lo_recipient.

lo_recipient = cl_cam_address_bcs=>create_internet_address( lv_sender_id ).

lo_send_request->add_recipient( EXPORTING i_recipient = lo_recipient

i_copy = c_x

i_express = c_x ).

lo_send_request->set_send_immediately( c_x ).

lv_sent_to_all = lo_send_request->send( c_x ).

COMMIT WORK.

CATCH cx_bcs INTO lo_exception.

EXIT.

ENDTRY.

Any system configuration required for this?

Thanks and regards,

Hi Mohana,

Did you check transaction SCOT if you didnt use set_send_immediately?

Former Member · ‎2012 Jan 31

Hi mohana,

Check this:

*     -------- create persistent send request ------------------------
      send_request = cl_bcs=>create_persistent( ).

*     -------- create and set document with attachment ---------------
** Change this part with your customized document type.
      document = cl_document_bcs=>create_document(
        i_type    = 'RAW'
        i_text    = i_BODY
        i_subject = SUBJECT ).

*     add the spread sheet as attachment to document object
      document->add_attachment(
        i_attachment_type    = 'XL'                        "make tihis type HTML
        i_attachment_subject = SUBJECT         
        i_attachment_size    = size
        i_att_content_hex    = binary_content ). "fill binary_content

*     add document object to send request
      send_request->set_document( document ).

*     --------- add recipient (e-mail address) -----------------------

*     create recipient object
      recipient = cl_cam_address_bcs=>create_internet_address( mailrec ).

*     add recipient object to send request
      send_request->add_recipient( recipient ).

*     ---------- send document ---------------------------------------
      sent_to_all = send_request->send( i_with_error_screen = 'X' ).

      commit work.

Hi,

I am able to trigger the mail.

However, if I am using format as RAW, the text is coming in the mail body.

If I use format as HTM, email body is blank.

Thanks and regards,

Hi Vamsi,

Use HTML tags while preparing your final table which will be send as an attchment.

select the HTML tags which suits your requirement and prepare the internal table by cancatenating HTML tags and your code.

pass that internal table as an attachment.


<p><font size="2" face="arial">
"write the text you want to display
" Use <br> tab for new line
</font></p>

former_member219399 · ‎2012 Jan 31

Hi,

This is my internal table.

html_wa = '<body>'.APPEND html_wa to html.

*html_wa = '<table>'.APPEND html_wa to html.

html_wa = '<b> Hello </b>'.APPEND html_wa to html.

html_wa = '<br>'.APPEND html_wa to html.

html_wa = '<text>This is test</text>'.APPEND html_wa to html.

*html_wa = '</table>'.APPEND html_wa to html.

html_wa = '</body>'.APPEND html_wa to html.

With regards,

Hi Vamsi,

If you want to dispaly the text 'HELLO' inside the table then you need to use proper Table tags. You can also define the properties of table.

<tr>

<td> 'HELLO'</td>

</tr>

</table>

But I think Table tag and Body tag not required in this case...Text tag alone will work.

Please use the below FM first to convert raw text to HTML and then append the html data to final FM.

Hi

See the article [Step by Step Process of Preparing E-mail with HTML body and HTML Attachment|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/e009f97e-ee5d-2e10-31ba-9c9509e5925c] by Sri Hari Anand Kumar.

Hi,

If I use RAW as type, the text is coming in the mail body.

If I use HTM, its not coming in the body. Do I have to configure anything to send HTM object type?

Thanks and regards,

Vamsi

Hi friend,

Please go through this white paper.

Link : [Steps for sending email with HTML attachment|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e009f97e-ee5d-2e10-31ba-9c9509e5925c?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true]

You can just copy and paste the code it will work fine.

You can just change the logic accordingly. Also see the system is configured to sent emails.

I think this will solve your issue. If you face any difficulties in code revert back to me i will help you.

Thanks,

Sri Hari

please prepare your email body content like below code, then pass it to cl_document_bcs=>create_document



Data: result_content type string.

*refresh text .
clear result_content .
*The body message
concatenate

'<p><font color="#000080">This is the first line in the email body</font></p>'
'<p><font color="#000080">Second line </font></p>'
'<p><font color="#000080">third line and thank you. </font></p>'


into result_content .
conlength = strlen( result_content ) .
conlengths = conlength .
call function 'SCMS_STRING_TO_FTEXT'
exporting
  text      = result_content
tables
  ftext_tab = text.



try.
  clear send_request .

  send_request = cl_bcs=>create_persistent( ).

  clear document .
  document = cl_document_bcs=>create_document(
  i_type    = 'HTM'
  i_text    = text
  i_length  = conlengths
  i_subject = subject ).

Hello Mohana,

I just faced a related issue. The problem was that in transaction "SOST" menu "SAP Connect Administration" / Settings / Outbound Messages a disclosure was maintained. This disclosure prevented to show the HTML-text in the email body. Instead my body-text was added to the attachment.
