Hi,

You have to code in this way to create an csv or xml file.

FileName:=FileManagement.ServerTempFileName('csv');

PurchaseHeaderTable.RESET;

PurchaseHeaderTable.SETRANGE("No.",PONumber);

IF PurchaseHeaderTable.FINDFIRST THEN BEGIN

REPORT.SAVEASEXCEL(405,FileName,PurchaseHeaderTable);

END;

Here FileManagement is a variable of type codeunit FileManagement and FileName is a variable of Text

For attaching in xml format

REPORT.SAVEASXML(405,FileName,PurchaseHeaderTable);

Hi Sulav,

Take a look at these two articles on MSDN:

Walkthrough: Exporting Data from Tables to XML Documents

Walkthrough: Exporting Data from Tables to CSV Files

The two articles will show you how to build your xml port and how to develop a codeunit to execute them

If you have not used XML ports before you may want to look at this too: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd338846(v=nav.90).aspx

Saurav Dhyani posted a very good article about sending smtp emails from NAV on his blog: https://saurav-nav.blogspot.co.uk/2017/05/microsoft-dynamics-nav-2017-email-from.html

Hi,

In addition to my previous answer, if you want to also know the procedure to send email with your .csv or .xml file of selected PO as an attachment, you can refer the below link of Saurav Dhyani.

You can use XMLPORT for exporting the data in required format
