Function Module not working as required

Question

Hi,
I am currently using a function module HR_FBN_GENERATE_SEND_EMAIL which sends mail to external sources from a standard SAP screen.
The fm seems to be working fine if its run from within a report program, but isnt executing when is run from within a PAI module.(code same in both).
Could anyone throw some light on a solution to this issue.
Also,this module doesnt seem to allow sending of mails on a specified date. How can i incorporate that or alternatively is there an existing fn module which will send mails out on a specified date with specified content?
Will def shell out loads of points to solutions that help...
Cheers,
Preethi...

HI,
Here is the code to send the mail from ABAP

If you look at the function module, you will get the field to pass the date also
