attaching a multiline element to sendtask email

[Marty Braithwaite]

Hi Sergey, thanks for the response, I guess where I'm confused is with =
the part where I create a method that will generate an email attachment =
into something like a pdf format, then attach it to an email to be sent. =
 I'm aware of the function that will send an email with an attachment =
(SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1) and how to create the method.  I'm just =
not sure how to create the attachment and convert it into the format I'd =
like, once I do that, then I can pass it to the email function and send =
it off.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks again,
Marty

Hi Marty,=20
 
unfortunately you cannot create an external attachment (I'm assuming =
you're
talking about PC File) just by binding a multiline element. You will =
need to
write your own method to generate and mail an attachment and create =
custom task.
 
You can then replace the standard task for the mail step in your =
workflow with
your own to take advantage of the mailstep-specific features, or add it =
as new
activity step.
 
i have some code for dialog and background version of the method and can =
share
if you want.
 
Thanks,
Sergey

Hi everyone, this attachment stuff seems to confuse a lot of people, and =
now I'm
one of them.  I have a sendmail task that sends an email notification to =
a user.
Before that step I have a step that generates a statement into an =
internal table
element to be passed to the sendmail task.  Within the sendmail task I =
append
the multiline element containing the statement into the body of the mail =
text by
inserting the statement &containerelement##& into the description text.  =
This
works, but the formatting is really bad and I was hoping to attach it =
instead.
I tried binding it to the element _adhoc_objects because I read =
somewhere that
would create an attachment in the email.  But no success.  I'm sure I'm =
missing
something small, can someone shed some light on this for me please?
 
Thanks,
Marty
