Adding fields to email templates

[sgp2]

Can anyone suggest a way to get more varied fields into a GM tamplate.

Not being technical, I can see that GM allows you to add some general info regards contact, dates and times. I have also found that by overtyping the field in the template I can add Keys 1 to 5. But I need to add some additional field that contain characters only (no annoying calc fields).

Does anyone have a solution?

Thanks
MF

Yes there are solutions, but you are too vague in your requirements. Is an example that I use in one of my e-mail templates:

You have been scheduled for a session with: <<Cal->UserID>>

If necessary he will be calling you using: <<&Phone1>>



Meeting Date:

<<wdate(Cal->OnDate, 3)>>









Meeting Time:





Eastern:

<<iif(left(Cal->OnTime, 2)>"12", alltrim(str(val(left(Cal->OnTime, 2))-12))+right(alltrim(Cal->OnTime), 3)+"pm", alltrim(Cal->OnTime)+"am")>>

Central:

<<iif(left(Cal->OnTime, 2)>"13", alltrim(str(val(left(Cal->OnTime, 2))-13))+right(alltrim(Cal->OnTime), 3)+"pm", IIF(padl(alltrim(str(val(left(Cal->OnTime, 2))-1)), 2, [0])=[12], padl(alltrim(str(val(left(Cal->OnTime, 2))-1)), 2, [0])+right(alltrim(Cal->OnTime), 3)+"pm", padl(alltrim(str(val(left(Cal->OnTime, 2))-1)), 2, [0])+right(alltrim(Cal->OnTime), 3)+"am"))>>

Mountain:

<<iif(left(Cal->OnTime, 2)>"14", alltrim(str(val(left(Cal->OnTime, 2))-14))+right(alltrim(Cal->OnTime), 3)+"pm", IIF(padl(alltrim(str(val(left(Cal->OnTime, 2))-2)), 2, [0])=[12], padl(alltrim(str(val(left(Cal->OnTime, 2))-2)), 2, [0])+right(alltrim(Cal->OnTime), 3)+"pm", padl(alltrim(str(val(left(Cal->OnTime, 2))-2)), 2, [0])+right(alltrim(Cal->OnTime), 3)+"am"))>>

Pacific:

<<iif(left(Cal->OnTime, 2)>"15", alltrim(str(val(left(Cal->OnTime, 2))-15))+right(alltrim(Cal->OnTime), 3)+"pm", IIF(padl(alltrim(str(val(left(Cal->OnTime, 2))-3)), 2, [0])=[12], padl(alltrim(str(val(left(Cal->OnTime, 2))-3)), 2, [0])+right(alltrim(Cal->OnTime), 3)+"pm", padl(alltrim(str(val(left(Cal->OnTime, 2))-3)), 2, [0])+right(alltrim(Cal->OnTime), 3)+"am"))>>







Not to Exceed:

<<ltrim(str(int(Cal->Duration/60)))+[ hr ]+ltrim(str((Cal->Duration/60-int(Cal->Duration/60))*60))+[ min]>>




Reference: <<Cal->Ref>>

<<Cal->Notes>><<Cursor>>

Thanks for the fast response but when I said I wasn't technical I really meant it!!! and looking at the above is like reading a foreign language. Sorry.

All I need is to add a couple of fields to a template. It doesn't need to compare, calculate or configure anything. If my client reference type is based on their industry i.e. UINDUST then I need to input this into the text of an email.
I hope this is a better explanation???

I would think that you could transpose:

You are in this Industry: <<Contact2->uIndust>>

You're welcome, but when did we jump from Templates to Automated Processes?

Is the FoxPro Developer link yours?

I've been a FoxPro/dBase developer for over 30 years. Sad to see MS kill it off.
