PDF attached to an email when used CALL FUNCTION 'Z_CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF_MAIL_ATTCH'

[former_member825671]

Hi all,

I have a requirement, need to add the attachment to an email.

There is one Smart form, I execute it and have the output redirected to an import parameter.

1] After that I've set ls_control_param-getotf = 'X'. to send the pdf output to import parameter job_output_info-otfdata[] (this will be in itcoo format)

2] Converted to email attachment format.

lt_objbin TYPE TABLE OF solisti1 WITH HEADER LINE,

CALL FUNCTION 'Z_CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF_MAIL_ATTCH'

TABLES

t_objbin = lt_objbin

t_itcoo = ls_job_info-otfdata.

But now when I'm using call method to add attachment and passing following parameters.

Getting error as: "LT_OBJBIN" is not type-compatible with formal parameter "I_ATT_CONTENT_TEXT".

Can anyone please suggest what can be done in this case.

Thank you,

Ankita.

Hello,

Initial tip: if you are working with files (file data) then I would recommend to always work only with binary data => not with text.

Now nobody here knows what is inside Z_CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF_MAIL_ATTCH function. But lets guess there is function CONVERT_OTF used inside. This FM returns binary data (bin_file TYPE xstring) after it converts "otfdata" to PDF.

You should use this bin_file when attaching PDF to e-mail. To do that first convert bin_file to "SOLIX_TAB", for example using method cl_bcs_convert=>xstring_to_solix. And finally use parameter I_ATT_CONTENT_HEX (solix_tab) and I_ATTACHMENT_SIZE (xstrlen of bin_file), instead of I_ATT_CONTENT_TEXT.

Hi Tomas,

Thank you,

You are ryt CONVERT_OTF is used but here in importing we dont have bin_file. Please refer to below screenshot.

ankitashinde173 It is Z function module, so you should be able to easily modify it 🙂 I really recommend to use "bin_file" (xstring) parameter. It is much easier to work with xstring. The logic I see in your screenshot is very old (working with "t_lines" and counting 255 size etc...).
