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

CLEAR: xl_content . * xl_content = output . CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING' EXPORTING text = output * MIMETYPE = ' ' * ENCODING = IMPORTING buffer = xl_content EXCEPTIONS failed = 1 OTHERS = 2 . IF sy-subrc <> 0. * MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO * WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4. ENDIF. REFRESH binary_content . CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY' EXPORTING buffer = xl_content TABLES binary_tab = binary_content. now add the attachment. CALL METHOD document->add_attachment EXPORTING i_attachment_type = 'XML' i_attachment_subject = atta_sub i_att_content_hex = binary_content.
