The problem described below occurs in a 4.0B environment. How must I proceed<br>
here? I tried the suggestion of Alan but did not succeed in creating a url<br>
as attachment in background. Any suggestions ?<br>

Hi Richard,<br>
In 4.6C, SELFITEM.SENDTASKDESCRIPTION has an optional parameter<br>
LINEWIDTH which will let you increase the length up to 132 characters<br>
(75 characters is just the default width).<br>
Not perfect,but most URLs will fit within that space.<br>
You'll need to make sure you include the LINEWIDTH parameter in your<br>
bindings.<br>
<br>
If SAPSCRIPT is killing you - e.g. by adding unwanted new line characters -<br>
using the CHANGE EDITOR option while changing the long description will take<br>
you to the old editor. It's clunkier but does have the advantage of giving<br>
you<br>
a little more control over the formatting.<br>

Hi Richard,<br>
There are limitations in sapscript which make long embedded URLs impossible.<br>
Have you tried adding the URL as an attachment? This will work in all<br>
inboxes (Windows, Web, Outlook Lotus...) .<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>

Hi Richard,<br>
<br>
For the fisrt problem, try <(>&<)>_report=ZZTEST<(>&<)> instead of<br>
&_report=ZZTEST& , by enclosing the & with <(> you it will be displayed<br>
correctly.<br>
<br>
The second point (cutting URL) is more tricky.<br>
Method SendTaskDescription use some function module (SWU_GET_TASK_TEXTLINES)<br>
with restriction to the lenght (75 characters, at least in 4.6C). And even<br>
if you change the value directly in the code, you have to take care of all<br>
the other treatment in this method you may restrict the lenght.<br>
The easier way is to restrict to URL lenght to 75 char.<br>
The more complex it's to try to modify the SendTaskDescription Method.<br>
<br>
Hope it helps.<br>
<br>

Objet : Adding URL in e-mails<br>
<br>
<br>
Hi all,<br>
I have a problem when sending a SMTP mail to sap users with a hyperlink to a<br>
web report. It is possible to store in the hyperlink the reportname, variant<br>
and parameters/select-option values.<br>
<br>
However....<br>
I have a task that sends the email (selfitem sendtaskdescription) and I pass<br>
a<br>
container value with the URL in question. In the email a part of the URL is<br>
disappeared....<br>
If you specify the url f.i. like<br>
http://sdfsdfsd/scripts/wgate.dll/webrfc/!?_function=www_get_report&_report=<br>
ZZTEST&_variant=ITS&_parc_ebeln=4500000123<br>
<br>
the part between &...& is disappeared. I think this is caused by the<br>
interpretation of SAP that values between '&' must be replaced by the value<br>
of<br>
the attribute of the buisness object. This is not present and therfore<br>
skipped.<br>
<br>
The result of the URL:<br>
http://sdfsdfsd/scripts/wgate.dll/webrfc/!?_function=www_get_report_variant=<br>
ITS&_parc_ebeln=4500000123<br>
<br>
Another question I have is about the cut of the URL. In outlook the URL is<br>
cut<br>
in half so therefore can not be used.<br>
<br>
Has anyone a solution for this ? Any help is appreciated!<br>
<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Richard Schot<br>
