Hello all,

I recently did an object which sends an email with the body.

Step 1.

Do not send the email directly by SAP functionality using smartform function module.

Set the parameter control_parameters-getotf = 'X' of the smartform function module.

step 2.

Use function module CONVERT_OTF

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF'

EXPORTING

format = 'PDF'

IMPORTING

bin_filesize = lf_bin_filesize

• BIN_FILE =

TABLES

otf = gs_job_output_info-otfdata

lines = gt_lines

EXCEPTIONS

err_max_linewidth = 1

err_format = 2

err_conv_not_possible = 3

err_bad_otf = 4

OTHERS = 5.

Step 3

Use function module QCE1_CONVERT

CALL FUNCTION 'QCE1_CONVERT'

TABLES

t_source_tab = gt_lines

t_target_tab = outbin.

Step 3.

Fill up the details for Email Body + Attachment for the function module SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1

internal table objtxt will have body of email (txt format)

DESCRIBE TABLE objtxt LINES tab_lines.

READ TABLE objtxt INDEX tab_lines.

docdata-doc_size = ( tab_lines - 1 ) * 255 + STRLEN( objtxt ).

CLEAR objpack-transf_bin.

objpack-head_start = 1.

objpack-head_num = 0.

objpack-body_start = 1.

objpack-body_num = tab_lines.

objpack-doc_type = 'HTM'.

APPEND objpack.

• -----------

• Packing Info Attachment

• -----------

att_type = 'PDF'

DESCRIBE TABLE objbin LINES tab_lines.

READ TABLE outbin INDEX tab_lines.

objpack-doc_size = ( tab_lines - 1 ) * 255 + STRLEN( objbin ).

objpack-transf_bin = 'X'.

objpack-head_start = 1.

objpack-head_num = 0.

objpack-body_start = 1.

objpack-body_num = tab_lines.

objpack-doc_type = att_type.

objpack-obj_name = 'ATTACHMENT'.

objpack-obj_descr = 'description'.

APPEND objpack.

docdata-obj_name = name.

docdata-obj_descr = description.

step 4 :- use function module 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1'

CALL FUNCTION 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1'

EXPORTING

document_data = docdata

put_in_outbox = 'X'

TABLES

packing_list = objpack

object_header = objhead

contents_bin = objbin

contents_txt = objtxt

receivers = reclist

EXCEPTIONS

too_many_receivers = 1

document_not_sent = 2

document_type_not_exist = 3

operation_no_authorization = 4

parameter_error = 5

x_error = 6

enqueue_error = 7

OTHERS = 8.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions

Thanks for response.

In an earlier attempt to meet this requirement, I tried the solution you proposed. I successfully set the getotf parameter to OTF. But then I was unable to correctly populate the parameters passed to CONVERT_OTF. I received short dump with error referencing invalid file size. So I went back to using the standard open_form, which does send the PDF, but now I can't add text to email.

Can you provide example of your code showing how you create the PDF to be sent, with data declarations?

[Former Member]

The program is too big to post here and there are lot of unnecessary program lines for you to go through it. So I just gave the logic.

You might have to pass the correct parameters to the function module 'CONVERT_OTF'

[Former Member]

Can you tell me how you declare variable outbin?

When I pass the results of QCE1_CONVERT to SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1, I get a short dump, indicating the parameter I'm passing into SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 Tables: contents_bin is the wrong data type.

[Former Member]

I declared parameter outbin as "LIKE SOLISTI1" and the code now works as required.

Thanks for all your help!

Hello,

declare the following

data :

i_objtxt LIKE solisti1 OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE,

in the program write the below cod as following

i_objtxt = 'Find attached the output of the smart form.'. --> this is the body of the mail.

APPEND i_objtxt.

now pass this to the call function.

CALL FUNCTION 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1'

EXPORTING

document_data = w_doc_chng

put_in_outbox = 'X'

IMPORTING

sent_to_all = v_sent_all

TABLES

packing_list = i_objpack ...... and also the other parameters

This shall trigger the body.

I am having the same problem.

I am generating an email with a Smart Form attached as PDF. The email is sent successfully, but there is no text in the body of the email.

The email is being built within FM Open_Form, as defined in the procedure for Output Type ZNE2. NACE is configured with medium 5. Everything is working fine.

Since the code is using OPEN_FORM and is not using 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1', is there a parameter I can populate to build the body of the email message?
