documentation concerning ABAP statements w/i a task description, or perhaps pass
along an example. I have a situation where we are using the description
task as the content of an e-mail, complete with container values. The
client would like to have a text variable that is dependent on a container
value. Your response to Carmen give me the impression that I could vary
the text content depending on the container value within the task
description.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

entering the command. It’s a little tricky to get it to work but a little
patience will get you there. Just do each command one at a time on a separate

out.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
