Sending attachments with email

[former_member445996]

Hi All,

I am using function module SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 to send a tab delimeted text file with an email. Email goes fine but when I open the file the format is not tab delimited. Well the fields are delimited by tabs but new record does not start on a new line rather it starts on the same line and I think after 255 characters.

I am assuming that it is because I am using binary flag = 'X' but if I send this flag as blank then no data gets generated in the file.

Does anyone know what the problem could be. Can we send the file as anything other than binary.

Also, can we send more than one attachment in one email?

CONSTANTS : cr_mark TYPE x VALUE '0D'.

"carriage return character

Concatenate cr_mark to each row in the internal table before you append to objbin.
