Former Member

Hello Experts,

I want to send mail via ABAP program with the following requirements :

1. Recipient is OUTLOOK email -id

2. Sender address has to be an external email-id

3. Send mail as CC and BCC also to other email-id.

Is there any function module which can satisfy all the above requirements.

Regards,

Mansi.

SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1

(In 4.6C only, You can go to SE37 and click the documentation on how to use it. A sample program is provided there.)

hi,

this code will definately help you just go through it:

firstly exported the data to memory using the FM LIST_FROM_MEMORY.

CALL FUNCTION 'LIST_FROM_MEMORY'

TABLES

listobject = t_listobject

EXCEPTIONS

not_found = 1

OTHERS = 2.

IF sy-subrc 0.

MESSAGE e000(su) WITH text-001.

ENDIF.

then i converted it into ASCII using LIST_TO_ASCI,

CALL FUNCTION 'LIST_TO_ASCI'

TABLES

listasci = t_xlstab

listobject = t_listobject

EXCEPTIONS

empty_list = 1

list_index_invalid = 2

OTHERS = 3.

IF sy-subrc NE 0.

MESSAGE e003(yuksdbfzs).

ENDIF.

This gives the data in ASCII format separated by '|' and the header has '-', dashes. If you use this internal table directly without any proccesing in SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1, then you will not get a good excel sheet attachment. To overcome this limitation, i used cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline and cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab to add horizontal and vertical tabs to the internal table, replacing all occurences of '|' with

cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.

Set the doc_type as 'XLS', create the body and header using the packing_list and pass the data to be downloaded to SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 as contents_bin.

This will create an excel attachment.

Sample code for formatting the data for the attachment in excel format.

u2022 Format the data for excel file download

LOOP AT t_xlstab INTO wa_xlstab .

DESCRIBE TABLE t_xlstab LINES lw_cnt.

CLEAR lw_sytabix.

lw_sytabix = sy-tabix.

u2022 If not new line then replace '|' by tabs

IF NOT wa_xlstab EQ cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline.

REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '|' IN wa_xlstab

WITH cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.

MODIFY t_xlstab FROM wa_xlstab .

CLEAR wa_xlstab.

wa_xlstab = cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline.

IF lw_cnt NE 0 .

lw_sytabix = lw_sytabix + 1.

u2022 Insert new line for the excel data

INSERT wa_xlstab INTO t_xlstab INDEX lw_sytabix.

lw_cnt = lw_cnt - 1.

ENDIF.

CLEAR wa_xlstab.

ENDIF.

ENDLOOP.

Sample code for creating attachment and sending mail:

FORM send_mail .

u2022 Define the attachment format

lw_doc_type = 'XLS'.

u2022 Create the document which is to be sent

lwa_doc_chng-obj_name = 'List'.

lwa_doc_chng-obj_descr = w_subject. "Subject

lwa_doc_chng-obj_langu = sy-langu.

u2022 Fill the document data and get size of message

LOOP AT t_message.

lt_objtxt = t_message-line.

APPEND lt_objtxt.

ENDLOOP.

DESCRIBE TABLE lt_objtxt LINES lw_tab_lines.

IF lw_tab_lines GT 0.

READ TABLE lt_objtxt INDEX lw_tab_lines.

lwa_doc_chng-doc_size = ( lw_tab_lines - 1 ) * 255 + STRLEN( lt_objtxt ).

lwa_doc_chng-obj_langu = sy-langu.

lwa_doc_chng-sensitivty = 'F'.

ELSE.

lwa_doc_chng-doc_size = 0.

ENDIF.

u2022 Fill Packing List For the body of e-mail

lt_packing_list-head_start = 1.

lt_packing_list-head_num = 0.

lt_packing_list-body_start = 1.

lt_packing_list-body_num = lw_tab_lines.

lt_packing_list-doc_type = 'RAW'.

APPEND lt_packing_list.

u2022 Create the attachment (the list itself)

DESCRIBE TABLE t_xlstab LINES lw_tab_lines.

u2022 Fill the fields of the packing_list for creating the attachment:

lt_packing_list-transf_bin = 'X'.

lt_packing_list-head_start = 1.

lt_packing_list-head_num = 0.

lt_packing_list-body_start = 1.

lt_packing_list-body_num = lw_tab_lines.

lt_packing_list-doc_type = lw_doc_type.

lt_packing_list-obj_name = 'Attach'.

lt_packing_list-obj_descr = w_docdesc.

lt_packing_list-doc_size = lw_tab_lines * 255.

APPEND lt_packing_list.

u2022 Fill the mail recipient list

lt_reclist-rec_type = 'U'.

LOOP AT t_recipient_list.

lt_reclist-receiver = t_recipient_list-address.

APPEND lt_reclist.

ENDLOOP.

u2022 Finally send E-Mail

CALL FUNCTION 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1'

EXPORTING

document_data = lwa_doc_chng
