Strange inserts in attachement file

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am making a program with send an email with attachement file. Everything works well except data in the attachement file.

Code:

REPORT ZTEST.

DATA: DOCUMENT_DATA LIKE SODOCCHGI1 OCCURS 5 WITH HEADER LINE.

DATA: PACKING_LIST LIKE SOPCKLSTI1 OCCURS 2 WITH HEADER LINE.

DATA: RECEIVER LIKE SOMLRECI1 OCCURS 1 WITH HEADER LINE.

DATA: CONTENTS_TXT LIKE SOLISTI1 OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.

DATA: CONTENTS_BIN LIKE SOLISTI1 OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.

DATA: LINES TYPE I.

DATA: DOC_TYPE LIKE SOODK-OBJTP VALUE 'txt'.

DOCUMENT_DATA-OBJ_DESCR = 'subject'.

DOCUMENT_DATA-OBJ_NAME = 'subject'.

DOCUMENT_DATA-SENSITIVTY = 'P'.

DOCUMENT_DATA-OBJ_LANGU = SY-LANGU.

DOCUMENT_DATA-OBJ_EXPDAT = sy-datum + 31.

CONTENTS_TXT = 'Hello'.

APPEND CONTENTS_TXT.

DESCRIBE TABLE CONTENTS_TXT LINES lines.

READ TABLE CONTENTS_TXT INDEX lines.

DOCUMENT_DATA-DOC_SIZE = ( lines - 1 ) * 255 + STRLEN( CONTENTS_TXT ).

CLEAR PACKING_LIST-TRANSF_BIN.

PACKING_LIST-HEAD_START = 1.

PACKING_LIST-HEAD_NUM = 0.

PACKING_LIST-BODY_START = 1.

PACKING_LIST-BODY_NUM = lines.

PACKING_LIST-DOC_TYPE = 'RAW'.

APPEND PACKING_LIST.

receiver-rec_type = 'U'. "Internet address

receiver-express = 'X'. "Express

receiver-receiver = 'user_email_address'.

append receiver.

APPEND 'Hey' TO CONTENTS_BIN.

APPEND 'How do you do CHRIS?' TO CONTENTS_BIN.

DESCRIBE TABLE CONTENTS_BIN LINES lines.

• write : / lines.

PACKING_LIST-TRANSF_BIN = 'X'.

PACKING_LIST-HEAD_START = 1.

PACKING_LIST-HEAD_NUM = 0.

PACKING_LIST-BODY_START = 1.

PACKING_LIST-BODY_NUM = lines.

PACKING_LIST-DOC_TYPE = DOC_TYPE.

PACKING_LIST-OBJ_NAME = 'Attachment'.

PACKING_LIST-OBJ_DESCR = 'Attachment'.

PACKING_LIST-DOC_SIZE = ( lines - 1 ) * 255 + STRLEN( CONTENTS_BIN ).

APPEND PACKING_LIST.

CALL FUNCTION 'SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1'

EXPORTING

DOCUMENT_DATA = DOCUMENT_DATA

SENDER_ADDRESS_TYPE = 'U'

COMMIT_WORK = 'X'

TABLES

PACKING_LIST = PACKING_LIST

CONTENTS_TXT = CONTENTS_TXT

CONTENTS_BIN = CONTENTS_BIN

RECEIVERS = RECEIVER

EXCEPTIONS

TOO_MANY_RECEIVERS = 1

DOCUMENT_NOT_SENT = 2

OPERATION_NO_AUTHORIZATION = 4

OTHERS = 99.

Problem:

The text in the attachement file should be like

Hey

How do you do CHRIS?

but it appears like

H e y H o w d o y o u d o C H R I S ?

I have noticed that if i want to display the first line "Hey", I have to set doc_size to 6.

I also got the same problem using the code from sap documentation of the function SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1.

Somebody know why it adds too much space in the attachement file ? And why it put the 2 lines on the same line ?

Thank you.

Best regards.

Hi ,

Code seems good to me... Please try executing it after doing few small changes:

PACKING_LIST-TRANSF_BIN = 'X'.

PACKING_LIST-HEAD_START = 1.

PACKING_LIST-HEAD_NUM = 1.

PACKING_LIST-BODY_START = 1.

PACKING_LIST-BODY_NUM = lines.

PACKING_LIST-DOC_TYPE = DOC_TYPE.

PACKING_LIST-OBJ_NAME = 'Attachment'.

PACKING_LIST-OBJ_DESCR = 'Attachment'.

PACKING_LIST-DOC_SIZE = lines * 255 .

APPEND PACKING_LIST.

I hope this might help you...

Thanks you for your help, but it still does the same inside the attachement file.

Hi,

It might sound odd to you but can you please try to make the change while declaring DOC_TYPE .

You have decalared the DOC_TYPE with value 'txt' in lower case, please change it to Upper case.

DATA: DOC_TYPE LIKE SOODK-OBJTP VALUE 'TXT'.

Just trying to help you. . .

Hi,

I have just tried using txt in upper but it had changed nothing.

One of my co worker thinks that it could be a unicode problem but I could not find thread which have this problem.

Regards.
