Email attachments created by function SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 are unusable

[troy_frackman]

WE did a unicode upgrade about 2 weeks ago and since then, when using function module SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 to attach a .txt file to an email, the TEXT file looks to be spaced incorrectly. what I mean it there is a LOW-VALUE/Space between every character in the file, so when Notepad opens it, the CR_LFis there but there is a space between each so it just becomes one continuous string of data. is this a code page thing or a SCOT setting?

I could not past a screen shot in here but in a Hex Editor it shows TWO ZEROS '00' between every character, which are low-values.

SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 doesn't handle attachments, does it? thought that was the ATT version of this antiquated API....should be inserting that file/adata into the email body with this API.

We have been using this general code below for sometime now. Unicode upgrade of the databases has caused the attachments to have spaces between each character in the attachment. We get the attachment but the data inside is over spaced. if you go thru the attached .txt file, you can delete all the extra spaces, including those between the CR/LF and

Notepad looks to be able to understand where each line ends now.

it_reclist = email addresses

it_objtxt = body of the email message

it_objbin = attachment table of type solisti1

it_packing_list = table of sopcklsti1

Hi,

can you please check SAP note 190669 ?

Excerpt:

As of Release 6.10, we recommend that you no longer use the API1

interface for sending documents. Instead, use the BCS interface.

You will also find sample code in that note.

Best regards,
