Format a list of text to be sent over email body

Posted on by 130

Hi BC Community,

I would like to email an entire POs lines to a user. 

I can populate a list to include all lines, however, I can not figure out how to email this list using strsubstno.

The current issue is that even though I include the listdata variable into the StrSubstNo function, in AddBodyMessage that element is blank, and subsequent email text is blank. 

My code below:

if userEmail <> '' then begin
    purchaseLine.SetRange(purchaseLine."Document Type", PurchaseHeader."Document Type");
    purchaseLine.SetRange(purchaseLine."Document No.", PurchaseHeader."No.");
    
    if purchaseLine.FindSet() then begin
        repeat
            listData.Add(purchaseLine.Description);
            counter := counter   1;
        until purchaseLine.next = 0;
        end;
    
    BodyMessage := 'Dear %1,
%2 has been fully approved.
Vendor:%3
Total($):%4
%5'; subjectMessage := 'Your request %1 has been fully approved'; AddBodyMessage := StrSubstNo(BodyMessage, userName, purchaseHeader."No.", purchaseHeader."Buy-from Vendor Name", purchaseHeader.Amount, listData.GetRange(1,listData.Count)); addUserSubject := StrSubstNo(subjectMessage, purchaseHeader."No."); EmailMessage.Create(userEmail, addUserSubject, AddBodyMessage, true);

Thanks as always

    Yes am aware of this, and debugger indicates that listData[1][2][x...] elements are populated with a string.

    So listData is not empty, but body message does not print out its contents, so I am also sure that is the source of the problem, but not sure how to remedy...

    Hi Sammy,

    The listData variable is added to the email message using the GetRange method, but it's not clear how the listData variable is being populated. It's possible that the listData variable is empty.

    you have to debugger to test value in Listdata variable first.

    Hi,

    I doubt this function 

    listData.GetRange(1,listData.Count)

    I dont think it returns and values you want. Can you check this?

    Thanks
