Create Hyperlink when sending mail via Outlook

[Sm1tje]

Hi all,

I want to mail a hyperlink from within function module via outlook. Creating the hyperlink and starting function <new mail> in outlook works just fine. But when the document (word, pdf, etc.) contains blanks, the hyperlink gets interrupted.

For example:

h:\temp\word1.doc (this will work just fine).

h:\temp\word 1.doc (error when displaying hyperlink in body of new mail).

I know that sometimes on the internet blanks are displayed as %20. But how to insert this in an ABAP statement using CONCATENATE?

Best regards,

Micky.

Hi Micky,

Try using replace command... to replace SPACE with %20

See the example below:

REPLACE

Basic form

REPLACE f WITH g INTO h.

Addition

... LENGTH len (length specification for field f )

Effect

Replaces the first occurrence of the contents of field f in field h with the contents of field g . All fields are handled in their defined length; this means that closing blanks are not ignored.

The return code value indicates whether the string f was found in h and replaced by g :

SY-SUBRC = 0 String replaced.

SY_SUBRC = 4 String not replaced.

Example

DATA FIELD(10).

MOVE 'ABCB' TO FIELD.

REPLACE 'B' WITH 'string' INTO FIELD.

returns:

FIELD = 'AstringCB', SY-SUBRC = 0

Hi,

or use :

concatenate f1 f2 f3 into f separated by '%20'.

Hi,

first of all, thanks for your quick replies. But, reading your answers, I realise I have to rephrase my question. The problem isn't how to use the statement CONCATENATE or REPLACE. The problem is, after replacing the spaces / blanks in the name of a document, by '%20', along the way these are somehow erased again. So when the hyperlink is displayed in the mail, the link is interrupted, so when clicking the link, nothing happens. So question actually is how to achieve this?

Were using this functionality in combination with Easy DMS (Document Management System). When clicking the right mouse button on a document, you can send this URL via mail.

Kind regards,

Micky.

Can you try putting your hyperlink between <>.

Ex: <http://h:/temp/word 1.doc>

This is what happened when I checked this in outlook.

server\share\location\file 1.doc

shows the hyperlink only upto file

<
server\share\location\file 1.doc>

shows the whole thing as a hyperlink.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Ramesh,

this looks very promising, but unfortenately I haven't been able to fully test it, since we're experiencing some problems with our browser. But the link is displayed the way it should.

Thanks a lot.
