Error when emailing XML document
Hi there
I am trying to email an XML document to an external vendor by using the CL_DOCUMENT_BCS class. The email is sent successfully and I receive it in the relevant mailbox. To make it an XML document, I move 'XML' to the I_TYPE parameter of the class. This sends it perfectly as an XML document.
The problem occurs when I receive the email and open the attachment. When I open the attachment, I get the error "Whitespace is not allowed at this location". To rectify this problem, I open the XML attachment in notepad, concatenate these lines by deleting the return characters and I save the file and open it again. It then displays perfectly.
When I send the email as a normal text document and I change the extension manually to 'XML', the XML can be viewed perfectly.
Can anyone assist in rectifying this so that there is no manual intervention?
Kind Regards
