URL wrapped in Work Item Description

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Hi Louise,
Have a look at OSS note 363986.
You may need to "Goto > Change Editor" when you are editting the workitem
description so
you can put the "=" tag in the tag column to indicate you want to
concatenate lines.

Subject: URL wrapped in Work Item Description
 
 
We are using 4.6B, ITS and SAPMAPI integration to Outlook.  We are trying to
embed a URL in the work item description so that when the user clicks on the
link in Outlook it takes them straight into the work item in their browser
via ITS.
 
Everything is working fine except that SAP is wrapping the URL onto 2 lines
so Outlook sees it as a truncated URL.  We believe from various searches of
SAPWUG and OSS that SAP has a fixed line length within the work item
description of 75 characters and that this is the problem.
 
The URL is autogenerated and cannot be shortened.
 
We want to embed the URL in the work item description and not have to send a
separate email so hacking around with SELFITEM, SENDTASKDESCRIPTION method
isn't an option.
 
What we really need to be able to do is to increase the value of the
parameter which governs the line width of the work item description.  We've
tried OSS note 0316748
but no joy.
 
Does anybody have any suggestions?
 
Regards,
 
Louise
