Outlook messages from SAP system
May 18, 2011 Leave a comment
This is a sample code that can be used to create draft messages in your Outlook through SAP. Of course it is important to understand what it does so I tried to comment as much I can.
The VB code that can be used to create draft message is given here:
Sub create_draftmsg()
Dim oApp As Outlook.Application
Dim oEmail As Outlook.MailItem
Set oApp = New Outlook.Application
Set oEmail = oApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With oEmail
.To = "to@mail.com"
.CC = ""
.Subject = "SUBJECT"
.Body = "BODY TEXT"
.Attachments.Add "C:\Cat.bmp", olByValue
.Save
End With
Set oEmail = Nothing
End Sub
The ABAP code is given below.
INCLUDE OLE2INCL. * they are all OLE2_OBJECTS so it is important to know the real classes DATA: OUTLOOK TYPE OLE2_OBJECT, MAILITEM TYPE OLE2_OBJECT, ATTACHMENTS TYPE OLE2_OBJECT, APPT TYPE OLE2_OBJECT, DESTI TYPE OLE2_OBJECT, BODYMAIL(600) TYPE C. CREATE OBJECT OUTLOOK 'OUTLOOK.APPLICATION'. * Get the outlook namespace CALL METHOD OF OUTLOOK 'GetNamespace' = NAMESPACE EXPORTING #1 = 'MAPI'. * Get outlook folders and create a reference to sent mail folder * (myfolder) * If this is not used than a draft message is not created when Outlook is not running CALL METHOD OF NAMESPACE 'GetDefaultFolder' = MYFOLDER EXPORTING #1 = 16. "olFolderDraftMail (value from a short debugging in VB) CALL METHOD OF OUTLOOK 'CreateItem' = OUTMAIL EXPORTING #1 = 0. " 0 - MailItem SET PROPERTY OF OUTMAIL 'SUBJECT' = 'SUBJECT'. SET PROPERTY OF OUTMAIL 'BODY' = BODYMAIL. CALL METHOD OF OUTMAIL 'RECIPIENTS' = DESTI. CALL METHOD OF DESTI 'ADD' EXPORTING #1 = 'recipient@mail.com'. CALL METHOD OF OUTMAIL 'ATTACHMENTS' = ATTS. CALL METHOD OF ATTS 'ADD' EXPORTING #1 = 'filepath:\file.type'. CALL METHOD OF OUTMAIL 'SAVE'. FREE OBJECT DESTI. FREE OBJECT ATTS. FREE OBJECT OUTMAIL. FREE OBJECT OUTLOOK.
Today’s wisdom: Use Macro recorder to discover the classes needed in order to use Microsoft goodies in ABAP! 🙂
