Hello,

I'm currently having trouble with an extra "&" in the subject of my email.

Here is what I'm doing..not sure if there is a better way.


COMPUTE SDOEMAIL/A100 = 'mailto:' || '&User' || '@companyname.com?'; NOPRINT


DEFMACRO=STN1, MACTYPE=RULE, WHEN=STNDRILLDOWN1 EQ 1,
DRILLMENUITEM='Email',
URL=(SDOEMAIL) (\
subject='Text' Site1 \
body='' \
),

In the subject line, "Site1" is the variable or defined value. The extra "&" comes after the "Text" from subject. When I remove the 'Text' and just leave the Site1..the value is returned without the extra "&" in the front. Thanks.

Likely because I have fat fingers...it was an error.

So as the original code has it, the email comes out like this.

Name: jdoe@company
Subject: Text Text &SiteNumber.

I'm trying to remove the "&" in front of site number.
