URL gets truncated in email body sent using workflow

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We need to insert an URL in the email body for emails being sent out using workflow. Issue is that the URL is around 210 characters long. This gets truncated to 80 characters whenever the email is sent out. I found few notes related to this problem , however seems like most of them provide a solution to accommodate max length of URL as 132 characters, not longer than this.

We are already considering the following options --

1. Breaking up of actual URL into smaller pieces and displaying it as different variables in the email body

2. Using an alias in SICF

Is there any other workaround solution to this problem ?

thanks-

Harmeet.

we used 3 different variables , broke the original URL into 3 pieces, and displayed them .

Hello,

Thanks for the follow-up. When the three parts are joined together, were they less than 132 characters?

If more, then surely SendMail can't handle that?

Hi,

Please use the follwoing FM in a task-mehtod to send mail.

CONCATENATE '<A HREF=' lv_link '>'
   INTO ls_text.
APPEND ls_text TO lt_text.

CALL FUNCTION 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1'
  EXPORTING
    document_data              = ls_document_data
    document_type              = 'HTM'
    put_in_outbox              = 'X'
    commit_work                = 'X'
  TABLES
    object_content             = lt_text
    receivers                  = lt_receivers
  EXCEPTIONS
    too_many_receivers         = 1
    document_not_sent          = 2
    document_type_not_exist    = 3
    operation_no_authorization = 4
    parameter_error            = 5
    x_error                    = 6
    enqueue_error              = 7
    OTHERS                     = 8.

Where lv_link is the varibale wihich holds thlink more than 132 charecters.

Thanks and regards,
