Condense text in the SAP mail

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Hi Vijay, 
You can try, but the size of the attribute will depend on the data type
not the method of entry,
i.e. if you use a decimal attribute with output length 23 then you'll
get 23 characters as 
a decimal field is always right-justified.   The solution is to specify
the attribute in a 
character, i.e. left-justified, format.

Hi,

So it has to be done at the time when I pass the parameter...
Isn't there anyway to do it in the workflow step itself. I'll condense
it 
and pass in that case.
Why I wanted to know was, I was using SWUE to simulate the event and
passing 
parameters there.
I couldn't condense it there and it was taking the whole space. However
in a 
typical scenario,
I would be passing the variables from the program using WAPI FM. I'll 
condense it there.

Thanks,
Vijay
