after you get the pdf output:

do like this:

TRANSLATE it_pdf_output USING ' ~'.

CONCATENATE gd_buffer it_pdf_output INTO gd_buffer.

ENDLOOP.

TRANSLATE gd_buffer USING '~ '.

DO.

it_mess_att = gd_buffer.

APPEND it_mess_att.

SHIFT gd_buffer LEFT BY 255 PLACES.

IF gd_buffer IS INITIAL.

EXIT.

ENDIF.

ENDDO.

REFRESH it_mess_bod.

• Default subject matter

gd_subject = 'Subject'.

gd_attachment_desc = 'Attachname'.

Hi dieter,

1. If we want to send

abap list --- > as a pdf

sapscript layout -

---

> as a pdf

2. Then we UTILISE the facility/settings,

provided by SCOT tcode.

3. These settings,

will AUTOMATICALLY CONVERT THE

ABAP LIST / SAPSCRIPT LAYOUT

to PDF

and send the email with pdf attachment.

4. We need not write special code for it.

5. Just maintain SCOT settings.

(Also take help of basis team)

regards,

amit m.

Hi all,

this was the solution:

LOOP AT PDF_OUTPUT.

TRANSLATE PDF_OUTPUT USING ' ~'.

CONCATENATE GD_BUFFER PDF_OUTPUT INTO GD_BUFFER.

ENDLOOP.

*

TRANSLATE GD_BUFFER USING '~ '.

*

DO.

PDFDATA = GD_BUFFER.

APPEND PDFDATA.

SHIFT GD_BUFFER LEFT BY 255 PLACES.

IF GD_BUFFER IS INITIAL.

EXIT.

ENDIF.

ENDDO.

*

Sorry Getta, but Ravi was the first, therefor he gets 10.

Amit normaly i do it like you, but sometimes the outputlenght is diffgerent, therefor i want do convert
