Adding URL in e-mails

[Rickayzen, Alan]

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

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

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