Using the FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1

Question

Hi Gurus,
I am using the FM SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1.
My requirement needs me to email an attachment.
Why is it that when I input
A
B
C
in my table, the value I am getting is
A                         B                        C
wherein I should get an attachment that should look like this one
A
B
C
My output file is a TXT file. I understand that this is using the CONTENT_BIN that uses the binary format.
What I need is an attachment that is using the ASCII format. But when I use the ASCII format, I am getting an error: "error occurred during sending !".
Do I need to make enhacements on the FM?
Thanks in advance.
Benedict
