ALV - is there a way to automatically send the ALV via e-mail

Question

Hi,
I have a requirement to automatically send the ALV to an e-mail address.
Is this possible to do by just using the ALV methods available ?
Cheers
Colin.

Have a look at below code:
REPORT ZSENDEXTERNAL.
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.
Creation of the document to be sent
File Name
DOC_CHNG-OBJ_NAME = 'SENDFILE'.
Mail Subject
DOC_CHNG-OBJ_DESCR = 'Send External Mail'.
Mail Contents
OBJTXT = 'Minimum bid : $250000'.
APPEND OBJTXT.
OBJTXT = 'A representation of the pictures up for auction'.
APPEND OBJTXT.
OBJTXT = 'was included as attachment.'.
APPEND OBJTXT.
DESCRIBE TABLE OBJTXT LINES TAB_LINES.
READ TABLE OBJTXT INDEX TAB_LINES.
DOC_CHNG-DOC_SIZE = ( TAB_LINES - 1 ) * 255 + STRLEN( OBJTXT ).
Creation of the entry for the compressed document
CLEAR OBJPACK-TRANSF_BIN.
OBJPACK-HEAD_START = 1.
OBJPACK-HEAD_NUM = 0.
OBJPACK-BODY_START = 1.
OBJPACK-BODY_NUM = TAB_LINES.
OBJPACK-DOC_TYPE = 'RAW'.
APPEND OBJPACK.
Creation of the document attachment
(Assume that the data in OBJBIN is in BMP format)
*OBJBIN = ' O/ '. APPEND OBJBIN.
*OBJBIN = ' | '. APPEND OBJBIN.
*OBJBIN = ' /  '. APPEND OBJBIN.
*DESCRIBE TABLE OBJBIN LINES TAB_LINES.
*OBJHEAD = 'PICTURE.BMP'.
*APPEND OBJHEAD.
Creation of the entry for the compressed attachment
*OBJPACK-TRANSF_BIN = 'X'.
*OBJPACK-HEAD_START = 1.
*OBJPACK-HEAD_NUM = 1.
*OBJPACK-BODY_START = 1.
*OBJPACK-BODY_NUM = TAB_LINES.
*OBJPACK-DOC_TYPE = 'BMP'.
*OBJPACK-OBJ_NAME = 'PICTURE'.
*OBJPACK-OBJ_DESCR = 'Representation of object 138'.
*OBJPACK-DOC_SIZE = TAB_LINES * 255.
*APPEND OBJPACK.
Completing the recipient list
RECLIST-RECEIVER = '[email protected]'.
RECLIST-REC_TYPE = 'U'.
APPEND RECLIST.
*RECLIST-RECEIVER = 'SAPUSERNAME'.
*RECLIST-REC_TYPE = 'P'.
*APPEND RECLIST.
Sending the document
CALL FUNCTION 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1'
EXPORTING
DOCUMENT_DATA = DOC_CHNG
PUT_IN_OUTBOX = 'X'
TABLES
PACKING_LIST = OBJPACK
OBJECT_HEADER = OBJHEAD
CONTENTS_BIN = OBJBIN
CONTENTS_TXT = OBJTXT
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 'The document was sent'.
ELSE.
WRITE 'The document could not be sent'.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
WHEN 1.
WRITE: / 'No authorization for sending to the specified number',
'of recipients'.
WHEN 2.
WRITE: / 'Document could not be sent to any recipient'.
WHEN 4.
WRITE: / 'No send authorization'.
WHEN OTHERS.
WRITE: / 'Error occurred while sending'.
ENDCASE.
