You just create a method or attribute that will concatenate the fields in DocumentContent of send mail task.

Hi Arghadip Kat,

You mean to say instead of using the standard sendmail i need to create a custom method and attach it to the step type activity.

Hi Pavee,

When you create the send mail step, a new task is created. In this task you can add container elements which you can use in the mail text. So no need to build anything custom.

Hi Pavee,

You created a container element in the workflow not task? You need to create it in the task and then with binding fill it from your workflow container. Also, as Anuj suggests check your workflow log to see if the container element is filled at the step.

How did you set the variable in the text, by hand, so just typed it, or did you insert it via insert-> expression? You can change the text in the task.

Hi Pavee,

Unfortunately these types of fields are displayed in the SAP format, so if you want them more readable you need to convert to format you want yourself. So create a method to convert the fields and put this step before the send mail step and pass the converted fields to the mail step.

Regards,

Martin

Hmmmm. Reading in the early of the mornig still a problem. I see I answered a different question then asked.

If it is coming as &BUS2021.acc& then the WF is not recognising as it as a container element. try putting it from the expression button as told by Martin..

Hi PG,

before your SendMail Step, use an Activity step, where you call your BOR method,

which transfers the data as follows

BOR method parameters => task containers

task containers => wf containers.

use this WF container in your next step (ie Send Mail Step)

Hope it helps.
