XML Attachment problem

Question

Hi,
  My requirement is to send an xml document as an attachment to e-mail. I am getting the attachment in mail but when tried to open, the data is missing instead i am getting message as "The XML page cannot be displayed." Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct. I tried using fn. module "SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1" as well as using "add_attachment" method. In both the versions i am getting the attachment but not the xml data. Any solution is very much appriciated.
Thank You.

HI,
In order to give exact soulution need to know how you are generating the xml?
1.If you are concatenating the tags for xml into itab and if your data is in readable format..
Make it to string format and use FMs' SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING and SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY.
Then pass the binary tab to
            DOCUMENT = CL_DOCUMENT_BCS=>CREATE_DOCUMENT(
                                I_TYPE    = DOCUMENTS_LINE-TYPE
                                I_HEX     = DOCUMENTS_LINE-CONTENT_HEX
                                I_SUBJECT = DOCUMENTS_LINE-SUBJECT
2. if you are using DOM concept and redering the XML doc, Need to calculate the exact size before creating the attachment and create attachment as beloew: Here l_xml_table is already a Binary table
Preparing contents of attachment with Change Log
  l_con_pos = 0.
  DESCRIBE FIELD wa_XML LENGTH l_xml_len IN BYTE MODE.
  DESCRIBE FIELD wa_attachx LENGTH l_con_len IN BYTE MODE.
  LOOP AT l_xml_table INTO wa_xml.
    ASSIGN wa_xml TO <fs_con> CASTING.
    CHECK sy-subrc EQ 0.
    DO l_xml_len TIMES.
      l_xml_pos = sy-index - 1.
      IF l_con_pos = l_con_len.
        APPEND wa_attachx TO i_attachx.
        FREE wa_attachx.
        l_con_pos = 0.
      ENDIF.
      MOVE <fs_con>l_xml_pos(1) TO wa_attachx-linel_con_pos(1).
      ADD 1 TO l_con_pos.
    ENDDO.
  ENDLOOP.
Size of XML Document
      l_size = L_XML_SIZE.
Adding Attachment
      CALL METHOD lv_document->add_attachment
        EXPORTING
          i_attachment_type    = c_ext
          i_attachment_size    = l_size
          i_attachment_subject = C_TITLE
          i_att_content_hex    = i_attachx[].
