ALV reports emailed in background job

[Former Member]

Hi,

we have a background job that emails a report to some users. So far so good but the emailed result is a (not very nicely formated) txt file. Is there any way to specify the format of the output so that the report is emailed as a pdf or an html or and excel spreadsheet? Any would do.

Thanks in advance
