Adding URL in e-mails

Wed Aug 15 13:16:59 EDT 2001

Hi Richard,
Sorry you didn't succeed. You could create your own method using the
SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1 function module to create the mail with an
attachment. It is well documented but rather complicated so it's worth
searching for examples where it is used (cross-reference).
But if your URL is not too long Jocelyn's method will be easier to
implement.

Hi Jocelyn, thanks for your reply.
The problem described below occurs in a 4.0B environment. How must I proceed
here? I tried the suggestion of Alan but did not succeed in creating a url
as attachment in background. Any suggestions ?

Regards,
Richard

Hi Richard,
In 4.6C, SELFITEM.SENDTASKDESCRIPTION has an optional parameter
LINEWIDTH which will let you increase the length up to 132 characters
(75 characters is just the default width).
Not perfect,but most URLs will fit within that space.
You'll need to make sure you include the LINEWIDTH parameter in your
bindings.

If SAPSCRIPT is killing you - e.g. by adding unwanted new line characters -
using the CHANGE EDITOR option while changing the long description will take
you to the old editor.  It's clunkier but does have the advantage of giving
you
a little more control over the formatting.

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

Kind regards,
Richard Schot
