any provision to view mail prior to sending ?

[former_member197696]

Hi All ,

           I have written an  ALV report  where we can send mail to selected customers . Now i want to add an additional functionality such that the user can see the mail and even edit (if possible)  prior to sending  . Is there any thing called as 'Print Preview' for abap reports . I would like to know how to approach to achieve this functionality .

regards,

kishhore

Hi,

you can't print preview a Smartforms if you ask the Smartforms to be sent by email.

You can't print preview if you print-it

but, you can simulate the print, catch the OTF, convert it in PDF  and send it by email, or you could ask for XSF and convert it in HTML and insert in the mail body ..

to edit the smartforms, I have do something like that.

Ask the user to enter or complete a text in an cl_gui_textedit and send this information to the Smartforms ...

Dear Kishore,

In your case, I think you can use editable alv.

See this link http://saptechnical.com/Tutorials/ALV/Edit/demo.htm

Hi Kishore,

U can convert a alv report in pdf file and can be sent as an attachment to the email.

Hi Kishore

I would suggest you to display the ALV report (make the ALV editable).

Once the user has satisfactorily reviewed the report and made changes to it in case needed, provide the button to 'send mail'. Since the mail will comprise of the report fields only, this should be an acceptable option.

Hope this helps.

Hello Harsh ,

                       Yes it is a good option about editing the text but what about the email preview .

My email consists of a logo , text(header,body and footer) along with the background color(some color as per the requirement) .
