Send a TAB Delimited Text File via Attachment

[Former Member]

Hello All,

Scenario : Create a Text File attachment (TAB DELIMITED) and the send the same via EMAIL.

I am able to create attachment(TB_ATTACH) and send it via EMAIL(SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1) but the file is not

a TAB DELIMITED File

Please have a look at the logic below

CONSTANTS :co_cret type x value '0D',

co_tab type x value '09',

concatenate wf_date_ext

wf_time

wa_vlcinfo-vhvin

wa_vlcinfo-zz_commnos

wa_vlcinfo-zz_lotno

wf_dest_key

''

into tb_attach separated by co_tab.

concatenate co_cret tb_attach into tb_attach.

Please let me know if I am using the Correct Delimiter (co_tab) ? Is It possible to create a TAB DELIMITED text file attachment ?

Hi Saket

May be you can change your constan as below.

co_tab type c value

CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES->HORIZONTAL_TAB,

Coz type x value when you move to char field it will not have that ASCII value.

Hi,

If you are at 4.7 or above then use the class CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES else in 4.6c you will have to declare the hexadecimal delimiter which you have done.

Try putting the values in this way :

Field1 = wa_field-field1.

field2 = co_tab.

...

,..

,...

....

May be this would work.

Just give a try.

Hi ,

Check this

I am using below code to fill contents_bin table before passing it to FM : SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1, it is working fine for me.

DATA : contents_bin LIKE solisti1 OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.

DATA :BEGIN OF i_data_tab OCCURS 0,

wf_date_ext TYPE sy-datum,

wf_time TYPE sy-uzeit,

vhvin(10) TYPE c,

zz_commnos TYPE c,

zz_lotno(10) TYPE c,

wf_dest_key(10) TYPE c,

END OF i_data_tab.

i_data_tab-wf_date_ext = sy-datum.

i_data_tab-wf_time = sy-uzeit.

*i_data_tab-vhvin(10)

*i_data_tab-zz_commnos

*i_data_tab-zz_lotno(10)

*i_data_tab-wf_dest_key(10)

APPEND i_data_tab.

CONSTANTS :co_cret TYPE x VALUE '0D',

co_tab TYPE x VALUE '09'.

CONCATENATE i_data_tab-wf_date_ext co_tab i_data_tab-wf_time INTO

contents_bin.

APPEND contents_bin.

CONCATENATE i_data_tab-wf_date_ext co_tab i_data_tab-wf_time INTO

contents_bin.

APPEND contents_bin.

CONCATENATE i_data_tab-wf_date_ext co_tab i_data_tab-wf_time INTO

contents_bin.

APPEND contents_bin.

Hello

I tried via ur new FM also but the results are same. The problem is that when the file created is sent as

an attachment and when the attachment is opened, the fields are not tab delimited but instead are

separated by a Single Space.
