Adding a new entry in table TSOTD

[RJSA]

Hi Experts!!!

I'm using the FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 to send an email from an program abap.

The program is working perfectly, but need to send a txt file as an attachment in this email.

When I execute the FM has an error in the execution of another FM: SBCOMS_SEND_REQUEST_CREATE.

I'm debuging the FM and found that the error is because there is no entry TXT in the table TSOTD.

How do I add a new entry? Or, I'm using the FM correctly?

PACKING_LIST-DOC_TYPE = 'TXT'

Use document type 'EXT' which is for PC document

May be you could add but try what the other one said.

Hi Rafael,

First of all: Do not use FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 but CL_BCS.

Here I sent a mail with two text attachments. Once you tried CL_BCS you'll never again have questions about mail from ABAP - never again will use SO_NEW_DOCUMENT....

Use SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 for sending an attachment along with Email.

[Sandra_Rossi]

Clemens is right, and as he said, don't use SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1

nor SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1

nor SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1

nor SO_OLD_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1

nor SO_OBJECT_SEND

ONLY USE CL_BCS

(did you see that the forum questions were only about SO* function modules, there must be a reason!)

Hi,

I have another problem concerning CL_BCS :

How is it possible to send new extension Office documents by FAX with this class ?

I always get the error message "Unsupported attachment filetype detected! "

I need to send DOCX or XSLX document by FAX....

Thanks for your help...
