BIN to ASCII

Question

Hi Gurus,
I would like to clarify. I understand that if I am attaching a file to the email that will be sent by SAP, it in ASCII format. Am I correct?
Or the format is not relevant if the email is attachment or not?
I am having a problem, when I used the CONTENT_TXT which is the text in the email (not attachment), the message is correct.
Example.
I should get the following data with 3 lines because it is 3 records.
A
B
C
But when I used the attachment type, I am getting
A                                        B                                        C
Which I believe that it is in BIN format.
Is there a possibility that I can change the format to ASCII and send it with ATTACHMENT?
Here is my code:
REPORT  ZGLTEST.
DATA: objpack LIKE sopcklsti1 OCCURS  2 WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA: objhead LIKE solisti1   OCCURS  1 WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA: objbin  LIKE solisti1   OCCURS 10 WITH HEADER LINE.
*DATA: objtxt  LIKE solisti1   OCCURS 10 WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA: reclist LIKE somlreci1  OCCURS  5 WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA: doc_chng LIKE sodocchgi1.
DATA: tab_lines LIKE sy-tabix.
Creating the document to be sent
*doc_chng-obj_name = 'OFFER'.
doc_chng-obj_descr = 'Description'.
Creating the document attachment
(Assume the data in OBJBIN are given in BMP format)
objbin = 'ACT'.
APPEND objbin.
objbin = ' | '.
APPEND objbin.
objbin = '/ \'.
APPEND objbin.
DESCRIBE TABLE objbin LINES tab_lines.
objhead = '2007_016_FR10_HFM_SFeRE.txt'.
APPEND objhead.
Creating the entry for the compressed attachment
objpack-transf_bin = 'X'.
*clear objpack-transf_bin.
objpack-head_start = 1.
objpack-head_num   = 1.  "1.
objpack-body_start = 1.
objpack-body_num   = tab_lines.
objpack-doc_type   = 'RAW'.
*objpack-doc_type   = 'TXT'.
*objpack-doc_type   = 'CSV'.
objpack-obj_name   = 'ATTACHMENT'.
objpack-obj_descr = 'Reproduction object 138'.
objpack-doc_size   = 240. "tab_lines * 255.
APPEND objpack.
Entering names in the distribution list
reclist-receiver = 'E-mail address'.
reclist-rec_type = 'U'.
APPEND reclist.
Sending the document
CALL FUNCTION 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1'
  EXPORTING
    document_data              = doc_chng
    put_in_outbox              = 'X'
    commit_work                = 'X'
  TABLES
    packing_list             = objpack
    object_header          = objhead
    CONTENTS_BIN      = objbin
    receivers                 = reclist
  EXCEPTIONS
    too_many_receivers         = 1
    document_not_sent          = 2
    operation_no_authorization = 4
    OTHERS                     = 99.
CASE sy-subrc.
  WHEN 0.
    WRITE: / 'Result of the send process:'.
    LOOP AT reclist.
      WRITE: / reclist-receiver(48), ':'.
      IF reclist-retrn_code = 0.
        WRITE 'sent successfully'.
      ELSE.
        WRITE 'not sent'.
      ENDIF.
    ENDLOOP.
  WHEN 1.
    WRITE: / 'no authorization to send to the specified number of', 'recipients!'.
  WHEN 2.
    WRITE: / 'document could not be sent to any of the recipients!'.
  WHEN 4.
    WRITE: / 'no authorization to send !'.
  WHEN OTHERS.
    WRITE: / 'error occurred during sending !'.
ENDCASE.
Is the <b>objpack-transf_bin</b> tells the SAP that it will be an attachment?
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Also, is there a FM to convert the BIN format to ASCII format?
Or, is there an a way that I can input an "ENTER" character to separate the records that will be inputed in the attachment?
Thanks.
