AW: Calling methods in Send Mail step

[Wegert, Volker]

Mike,

Thanks for the hint. The usage of SAPscript explains a lot of the weird stuff I've seen.
BTW, is there a way to increase the subject line length limitation of 50 characters?

Thanks
  Volker

Hello Volker,

Unfortunately you can't use functional methods in Task descriptions. This is not a limitation of the workflow system; it's because it uses the rather primitive and OO-unaware SapScript for the work item description.

This is a bit misleading when using the email step as it tries to present a pretty frontend to hide SapScript. You can use a container element on the step for the methods needed in texts and just double up on the
binding:
WFOBJECT -> TSOBJECT, and
WFOBJECT.METHOD1( ) -> TSELEMENT1
Then use TSELEMENT1 in your description.

Hope that helps,
Mike
