Sapscript - error in special characters

Former Member

I have a workflow task with the description which ends up getting sent out via email.

I am entering the following in the description line.

<a href=http://www.msn.com> MSN </a>

What is occurring in the output is that the “<” is being translated to “&#060:”

According to what I can find the “<” and the “&” are special characters. We are able to get around the “&” by doing the following “<(>&<)>”, but I cannot seem to figure out what the trick is for the “<”.

Hi !

You could trie to mark this line as a "raw line" / marked as ( . Then SapScript does no formating in this line.

Here's some of the SAP-Help infomtation:

( Raw line

The subsequent editor line is not interpreted by the SAPscript

composer during output formatting. This means that character

formats, symbols, tab characters, masking characters, or

hypertext links which may be contained in this line are not

evaluated and are therefore passed unchanged to the output

device. The text contained in this line is also appended

directly to the character of the preceding text line which was

output last. If this is not required, there must be at least one

blank at the beginning of the extended line.

/( Like raw line

But the subsequent text is placed in a new line during output

formatting.

Regards

Rainer

Some points would be nice if that helped a bit.

Try to find out whether that character set support to ur

SAP or not if not try to upload font.

To upload font first locate ur file for that font in this case VERDANA,

normally u will find this file in C:\windows\font copy that file from there in

some other directory. then goto transaction code SE73 give ur font name

in SAP starting with Z and give ur font file path.

True Type-Font installiern

<b>Goto window editor-> insert->Characters->DisplayableCharacters </b>

Then choose character
