SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 sending pdf with wrong special characters

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

Im using the fm SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 to send out a pdf (into sap office box). But when I open it

I get totally wrong special characters (Chinese for instance, and ' is replaced by #).

I have already applied the note 1430123 but it didnt resolve the issue.

Can anybody help on this?

Help will highly appreciated.

Hey Hubert...

i had the same problem, then i changed my fm.

But take a look at your table, how is it declared?

My fault was...that i didn't know, that my table has to be from the TYPE solix when i want to send it as PDF.

DATA:  gt_pdfbin           TYPE solix_tab.

I hope it helps.

The above mentioned solution didnt resolve the issue but thanks for your help.

I think using class CL_BCS would make things simpler.

But I need to send a message to SBWP with an pdf attachment. Is is possible with CL_BCS ?

[Former Member]

Yes. This is very much possible.

gv_xstring contains the pdf data in XSTRING format.

Check the code :

*   ---------- create persistent send request ----------------------
  send_request = cl_bcs=>create_persistent( ).

*   ---------- Create document ----------------------------------------
*   get PDF xstring and convert it to BCS format
  lp_pdf_size = XSTRLEN( gv_xstring ).

  pdf_content = cl_document_bcs=>xstring_to_solix(
      ip_xstring = gv_xstring ).

*     Create Mail Body
  CLEAR ls_body.
  CONCATENATE 'Dear' gv_name1 ',' INTO ls_body SEPARATED BY space .
  APPEND ls_body TO lt_body.

  CLEAR ls_body.
  APPEND ls_body TO lt_body.

  CLEAR ls_body.
  ls_body = 'Warm greetings '.
  APPEND ls_body TO lt_body.

  CLEAR ls_body.
  ls_body = 'Manager'.
  APPEND ls_body TO lt_body.

  document = cl_document_bcs=>create_document(
                  i_type    = 'RAW'
                  i_text    = lt_body
*                  i_length  = '12'
                  i_subject = 'Letter' ).

**   Add Attachment to send request
  CALL METHOD document->add_attachment
    EXPORTING
      i_attachment_type    = 'PDF'
      i_attachment_subject = 'Letter'
      i_att_content_hex    = pdf_content.

*     add document to send request
  CALL METHOD send_request->set_document( document ).

*   ---------- add recipient (e-mail address) ----------------------
  IF gv_adrnr IS INITIAL.
    SELECT SINGLE adrnr
      FROM kna1
      INTO gv_adrnr
     WHERE kunnr EQ gv_kunrg.
  ENDIF.

  SELECT SINGLE smtp_addr
    INTO lv_email
    FROM adr6
   WHERE addrnumber EQ gv_adrnr.

  recipient = cl_cam_address_bcs=>create_internet_address(
      i_address_string = lv_email ).

*   add recipient to send request
  send_request->add_recipient( i_recipient = recipient ).

*   ---------- send document ---------------------------------------
  sent_to_all = send_request->send(
      i_with_error_screen = 'X' ).

  IF sent_to_all = 'X'.
*    MESSAGE i022(so).
    gv_emailflag = 'X'.
  ENDIF.

*   ---------- explicit 'commit work' is mandatory! ----------------
  COMMIT WORK.

but above you use e-mail and I need system user name so that the message will go to SBWP.
