Date formatting issue when sending excel file via mail

hello People ,
I am facing date issue .
I have inetrnal format of date as yyyymmdd.
I am converting it into YYYY-MM-DD.
CONCATENATE gs_output-end_date(4)
                    gs_output-end_date+4(2)
                    gs_output-end_date+6(2)
                    INTO lv_date_to SEPARATED BY gc_seperator. " gc_separator = '-'.
        gs_output-end_date = lv_date_to.
I am writing this date and sending an excel file via MAIL . I get date result as MM/DD/YYYY always.
Now if i pass in YYYY.MM.DD and used the same code where gc_separtor = '.'.
I get output as YYYY.MM.DD.
Can any one give me an idea why in format YYYY-MM-DD it is getting overwritten but for yyyy.mm.dd it gives me as yyyy.mm.dd?
Regards,
Abhi..

Thanks , Rohit ,
I have change my date format in SU01 settings .
It is now made to [ YYYY-MM-DD] but still '-' is replaced by MM/DD/YYYY.
Also note that when i format in the following way
   CONCATENATE gs_output-rdadate(4)
                    gs_output-rdadate+4(2)
                    gs_output-rdadate+6(2)
                    INTO lv_rda_date.
instead of
   CONCATENATE gs_output-rdadate(4)
                    gs_output-rdadate+4(2)
                    gs_output-rdadate+6(2)
                    INTO lv_rda_date sepearted by '-'.
I get output as YYYYMMDD.

Abhishek.

Pdf extension changes to .dat when send a file via e-mail from adobe acrobat 9

to convert a file from microsoft word 2007 to PDF and send as an attachment via e-mail from adobe 9, the file is received with the extension changed to. dat, so recipients can not open it.
Can anyone help me with this.

What is the OS of the sending computer?
What mail client?
I receive plenty of files on my PC as .dat files, which come from Mac user(s), rename the extension to what I think they ought to be and have no further problem. (I cannot change the senders email settings where the problem originates)
If the receiver knows it is a pdf file, they can drag it into Acrobat, but renaming the extension serves future use.

"Open method of Workbooks class failed" when opening Excel file via Internet Explorer

(apologies, I posted this first to the general Office 2010 forum, but then realized this was probably a better spot to post)
We have an Excel COM add-in installed on users' PCs. This add-in responds to workbook open events by opening a particular XLA file (also deployed to the PC) to make certain features available. This process works flawlessly when Excel files are
opened locally - but when a user attempts to open an Excel file from an IE link, we get the following error: "Open method of Workbooks class failed". This is happening on the line that is trying to open the XLA file. This only happens
when launching an Excel link from IE - works fine in Chrome or Firefox.
I have found several posts on this topic, but no solutions:
1. This post (https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/office/en-US/73c96005-84af-4648-b103-32b677205be3/open-method-of-workbooks-class-failed)
is the closest to our problem. In this case, the "answer" was that the user may not have access to the 2nd workbook being opened. But in our case, we're opening an XLA that is on the local machine, and I've confirmed that it is not
corrupt and accessible (read & write, just in case!) to Everyone.
2. This (very old) post (http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/open-method-workbooks-fails-excel-hosted-ie-t965608.html)
seems similar, but is talking about opening Excel inside of IE. This is not what we're doing - the link is supposed to (and does) open Excel outside of IE. Interestingly, Excel.exe is being launched with the "-embedded" flag, even
though it isn't running in the IE window. When launching Excel by opening the file locally, Excel.exe is run with the "/dde" flag instead. Clearly the "-embedded" mode is what is causing the problem. I could change the
links on the web page to use some JavaScript to open Excel differently... unfortunately, the links are actually generated by SharePoint (the Excel files are in a SP repository), so this is not really an option.
3. This Microsoft KB article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/268016) talks about problems opening an XLA directly from IE... but this is the case of a link pointing
directly to an XLA file, not opening a regular workbook that in turn opens an XLA, as is my case. In fact, this article specifically points out in the "More Information" section that "End users do not normally open XLAs; instead they open
an XLS that (if needed) loads one or more XLAs during startup." ==> precisely what I'm trying to do that is giving me the error!
I've replicated the situation with a very simple COM add-in (created in VS2010 using VB.Net) and a very simple XLA file (does nothing, just pops up a message in auto_open). For anyone wanting to try it out, here is the exact test case:
1. In Excel, create a simple XLA file containing only the following code, and save it in C:\TEMP\dummy.xla:
Sub Auto_Open()
MsgBox "Auto Open fired"
End Sub
2. In Visual Studio, create a new Excel 2010 Add-In. I created mine via Visual Basic, but I doubt the choice of language matters. Place the following code in ThisAddin.vb:
Public Class ThisAddIn
Private Sub ThisAddIn_Startup(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Startup
AddHandler Me.Application.WorkbookOpen, AddressOf Application_WorkbookOpen
End Sub
Private Sub ThisAddIn_Shutdown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Shutdown
End Sub
Sub Application_WorkbookOpen(ByVal workbook As Excel.Workbook)
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
If (Not workbook.Name.Contains("dummy.xla")) Then
MsgBox("Workbook open")
Application.Workbooks.Open("C:\temp\dummy.xla")
Application.Workbooks("dummy.xla").RunAutoMacros(Excel.XlRunAutoMacro.xlAutoOpen)
End If
Exit Sub
ErrHandler:
MsgBox(Err.Description)
End Sub
End Class
3. Build & publish this add-in and install it on the same machine as the XLA created in step 1.
4. Create and save an empty Excel workbook (I called mine WayneTest1.xlsx) - save it locally (on your desktop), and put a copy somewhere on your web server (I put mine directly in c:\inetpub).
5. Create an HTML file with a link to that workbook, saving it to the same web server location - here is mine:
<html>
<body>
<a href="WayneTest1.xlsx">Link to Excel file</a>
</body>
</html>
6. Double click the workbook on your desktop (from step 4) - opens fine, I get the "workbook open" message, following by the "Auto Open fired" message.
7. In Internet Explorer, navigate to the HTML file specified in step 5 and click on the link - when prompted, select "Open" - I get the "workbook open" message, following by the error message "Open method of Workbooks class failed".
Here are a few things I've ruled out / tried so far:
- Unchecked all the "Protected View" settings in Excel, made no difference
- Unchecked all the "File block settings" in Excel, made no difference
- Made sure dummy.xla was open for read & write to Everyone
- Made sure the web page was in Trusted sites and set the security level to Low for those sites in IE
- Tried making the local desktop file (step 6) readonly, made no difference (i.e. launching it locally still worked fine)
- Tried using Excel 2013 - made no difference
Any ideas / suggestions?

Formating fonts when placing excel files.

I need some help. I am creating a catalouge for my business and we use a "proprietary font". We are using an excel spread sheet to link our data to the ID file, as our prices change a couple of times a year and I don't want to keep having to change the cataloge one line at a time. When I place the excel file and change the font and do the set up all is good. It is only when I change a price in the excel file and update the ID (cs5) file that ID changes my font to Times New Roman. Is there a way to have ID keep the font formating so I don't have to change the font everything every time I update the excel file?
Thanks
David

Thanks Bob.. I knew someone would know this. Though I felt silly asking the question in the first place. I do love forums.

Get different format error when opening excel file

Hi,
In 10g form, I use CLIENT_OLE2 to generate an excel file on the client machine. Every time, I open the excel file, I get the error message, 'The file you are trying to open, 'my1.xls', is in a different format than specified by the file extension....'. However, I still can open the excel file. I am using excel 2007.
Could somebody please explain what the problem is? How should I solve this problem?
Thanks for your help.
neemin

I don't know that off the top of my head. When I have developed OLE code in Forms I found it very useful to make a Excel macro that did what I wanted to accomplish and the translate that to OLE code in Forms.
I encourage you to create a new forum entry for this second issue. Maybe someone else has done it and can give you a quick answer.

Cannot send eps file via mail. Just crashes.

Everytime I try and attach an eps to a message
the spinning wheel appears and mail does not respond.
I have to force quit mail everytime.

Size doesn't matter. It just will not send eps files.
Thre are two macs of the same spec in department
where I work. The other has no problem whatsoever.
I think it is something to do with the actual email application
rather than the files. Other than re-installing mail I was just wondering
if anyone knew of any workaround such as deleting preference files etc.

Date formatting issue in Generated Excel

Hi All,
I'm generating a report by getting the values from the query and looping over it.
This is my code.
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="inline; filename=testReport.csv">
<cfcontent type="text/x-excel-csv"><cfoutput><cfloop index="i" list="#columnstrings#">"#i#",</cfloop></cfoutput>
<cfoutput QUERY="downloadquery">#chr(13)#<cfloop index="i" list="#columnstrings#">"#replace(evaluate('#i#'),'"',"'","ALL")#",</cfloop></cfoutput>
All the columns are coming perfectly, but the date column is showing 0:00:00 in the generated excel.
The user has to do a manual formatting for the date columns.
We are using coldfusion 9 and Oracle 10G
Any help would be appreciated.
When i check the dump the query, the date columns are coming correctly.
Only the excel does not know that its a date column.

Try prepending an apostrophe.

including transferred file size (the length of the text)

Can't send the file via Mail app!

Google says it's dangerous type of file! The same problem with Skype. When I'm trying to drag the file on the skype dialog it shows the text with the name of file.

Nothing really. The screen simply reverts back to the photo I tried to send. Then when I go to the message app and pull up that person's thread, the photo has not been sent. I CAN send photos from the message app - just not the camera app.
Also, I just confirmed that I can post to twitter from the camera app. Strange....

SOFFICEINTEGRATION 898 error message when trying to send excel file to

Hi,
I am trying to send excel file from sap dp planning book using macro with document function to outlook mail.
when i am running the macro online its sending the file to my mail
but when i am scheduling a background job and executing its giving me SOFFICEINTEGRATION error 898
can you please help?
do i need to do any setting any where
Thanks

Hello,
Programs that run in the background cannot address controls on the frontend. This is why you are not able to run a Program using SAP Office Integration which is a Frontend Control and can be used only with the SAP Gui. Since background process cannot make use of UI screens or actions hence it's not possible use SAP Office Integration in background processing. The reason for this is explained in note 674060. Therefore sending emails using a batch macro is not supported.

Wow. Okay...
I'll let the real veterans in this forum tackle your issues one after the other. But, I can tell you, all will be well.
My only comment would be re: your computer specs:
BJReis wrote:

To be completely honest, FCPX is a RAM hog. It just is. But, RAM is relatively cheap, and the pay-off is good.
4GB is right on the edge, IMHO. 16G is ideal.
I wish you luck, hang in there, and standby for more help.

Upload data from multiple worksheets of excel file into SAP by using MIME?

Hi all,
I'm trying to getting the data from a multiple worksheet excel file by usin the MIME Repository.
First of all i realizied it like [here|http://abap-explorer.blogspot.com/2008/12/upload-data-from-multiple-worksheets-of.html] in a normal ABAP Report.
By trying to transfer the code to a WebDynpro Component, i get problems.
With this part of code, because ActiveX is not allowed in our Webbrowser. So i have to find another solution to get the data from the excel file.
CALL METHOD c_oi_container_control_creator=>get_container_control
IMPORTING
control = iref_control
error = iref_error
I tried to rebuild this solution in webdynpro. But it dont works.
So my next step was trying to Read the Excel sheet directly from MIME by getting the Content (XString).
But there is no useful information Just a mix out of '######' and other symbols.
By converting it into String the same problem.
Maybe someone has an idea how to rebuild [this code|http://abap-explorer.blogspot.com/2008/12/upload-data-from-multiple-worksheets-of.html] in Webdynpro that it works correctly.
Currently Im Using the Fileupload UI Element. All Works fine. I can Upload the Excel file to MIME Repository and i can open it from there.
But i cant get the same clear informationen from the file, to write it later in a Database, like before without webdynpro.
i hope someone can help me.
Edited by: Sascha Baumann on Apr 20, 2009 4:28 PM

You can't read the native binary Excel Format in server side ABAP. The functions and classes that did this in Classic Dynpro used OLE Automation via the SAPGUI Control Framework to remotely control Excel to read the data. Because in the browser you have no connection to the SAPGUI or are sandboxed inside the browser; the same functionality is not possible.
I would suggest that you look into saving the Excel file as a open, text format. You might be able to use XML (although the Excel XML format can be complex) to support multiple sheets. You would have to build the logic yourself (using XSLT or the iXML parser) to process the XML format back into ABAP data.

I would suggest you to use ALV_XXL_CALL if your want to keep your data formats intact.
like this -   CALL FUNCTION 'ALV_XXL_CALL'

How can I send a PDF via mail without it becoming an attached file?

Hi All!
I need to know how I am able to send a PDF file via mail, without it becoming an attached file. This means when the receiver opens the mail, he automatically sees the PDF without first having to read the normal mail text and scroll down to open the attached PDF file. Just like a spam newsletter
Also I want to know - I want some illustrations in my portfolio to be a hyperlink to a website, is this possible on a picture (not on an URL) - and if so - How?
Hope you can help me out here!
** I use Adobe Acrobat Reader Pro X 10.1.10 on a Macbook Pro 10.8.5**
