Need to send an attachment with the mail to the distribution list

Question

Hi all,
How do I send an <b>attachment</b> with the e-mail to a distribution list?
I am using the FMs <b>SO_DLI_EXPAND</b> and <b>SO_OBJECT_SEND</b> to expand the distribution list and send mail to the distribution list respectively.I am getting the contents of the file in the email that is being sent. The file is being extracted from UNIX.
However, the contents of the file has to go as an attachment.
Please assist.
Thanks and regards,
Anishur

Hello,
You can do it like this...using SapScript:
REPORT YMAIL.
DATA: ITCPO LIKE ITCPO,
TAB_LINES LIKE SY-TABIX.
Variables for EMAIL functionality
DATA: MAILDATA LIKE SODOCCHGI1.
DATA: MAILPACK LIKE SOPCKLSTI1 OCCURS 2 WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA: MAILHEAD LIKE SOLISTI1 OCCURS 1 WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA: MAILBIN LIKE SOLISTI1 OCCURS 10 WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA: MAILTXT LIKE SOLISTI1 OCCURS 10 WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA: MAILREC LIKE SOMLREC90 OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA: SOLISTI1 LIKE SOLISTI1 OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.

Creation of the document attachment
This form gets the OTF code from the SAPscript form.
If you already have your OTF code, I believe that you may
be able to skip this form. just do the following code, looping thru
your SOLISTI1 and updating MAILBIN.
PERFORM GET_OTF_CODE.
LOOP AT SOLISTI1.
MOVE-CORRESPONDING SOLISTI1 TO MAILBIN.
APPEND MAILBIN.
ENDLOOP.
