Word Document as Attachment in SAP Office Mail

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Hi Bettina,
We are doing something similar.
What you need to do is use your file reference to create a SOFM object
instance.
 
You can then pass the SOFM object instance to your send mail step (based on
SELFITEM.
SENDTASKDESCRIPTION of course) to the "Attachments" parameter of the
SENDTASKDESCRIPTION
method and your word document will be sent as an attachment with the mail.

Hi Bettina,
 
One way to do this is to use business object SOFM. One of the methods
for this object is Attach.
 
Hope this helps.
