Hi, I need to send an email with an attachment in CSV format.

I have a comma delimited file (290 characters). I am using a method ( cl_hrrcf_services_mail-

>send_web_mail), but when I send the mail the attachment is empty.

I know a lot of developers use function module

'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1'.

Has anybody use method method cl_hrrcf_services_mail to do this? Any ideas on how I can do this will be
appreciated.

Thanks

Hi

When I open the attachment all my data is in one line and the format is not correct.

My internal table is comma delimited and 290 characters.

Can somebody please help? I am using function module FUNCTION 'SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1' to send
the mail to a Notes email address.

Thanks

You must use FM as below

SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1.

Using se37 go into function module. Read its Documenation. You will find your solution.
