Email as an attachment

Question

Hi Friends,
I have created a sapscript form and converted the same as PDF file using FM 'SX_OBJECT_CONVERT_OTF_PDF' and the file is getting stored in my local system.
Now I would like to mail this PDF file as as attachment.
Could you please guide me as to how to email this file. (Pls give me step by step process, so that it will be easy for me to understand and proceed).
Regards,
Mark K

Answer 1

Hi mark,
1. There is some trick involved
in the binary files.
2. I have made a program (and it works fantastic)
ONLY 6 LINES FOR EMAILING
BELIEVE ME
ITS A FANTASTIC PROGRAM.
IT WILL WORK LIKE OUTLOOK EXPRESS !
3. The user is provided with
a) file name
b) email address to send mail
and it sends ANY FILE (.xls,.pdf .xyz..)
Instantaneously !
4. Make two things first :
1. Include with the name : ZAMI_INCLFOR_MAIL
2. Report with the name : ZAM_TEMP147 (any name will do)
3. Activate both and execute (2)
4. After providing filename, email adress
5. Code for Include :

Include For Mail (First Req F16)
