Dynamic URL Smartforms

Question

Hi all,
I've to insert a DYNAMIC url in a Smartform behind a label.
Some topics to consider:
- The Url is created in running time.
- The Smartform is called by a Standard Program, so, I can not change the Impressor Program.
- I want the url behind the word "LINK"
For example:
CONCATENATE: 'www.' sy-mandt 'sap' sy-datum '.com' into lv_url.
so I want insert it behind a text "LINK"
When SAP sends the form by email the user could click on "LINK" and go to the url before created.
Thanks a lot

I've used this Solution for E-Rec Forms too. Its a little old, you've to adapt it for the new SAP version. I mean, using a Enh Spot for the corresponding Enh.
Example:
In the SmartForm, this link:
We are currently processing your application. We appreciate
    your patience and will contact you again as soon as possible.
    HTTP://[CLIENT URL]:8000/sap/bc/bsp/sap/hrrcf_start_ext/application.do?sap-client=300&BspClient=300&sap-language=E&BspLanguage=E&rcfSpId=0002&rcfContext=ATT&sap-themeRoot=/sap/public/bc/ur/Design2002/themes/att_theme
Becomes this:

Step 1:
Copy the function group HRRCF00_CALLBACK, renaming it ZHRRCF00_CALLBACK.  Also, rename the functions within this group as well.( ZHR_RCF_SF_URL_CALLBACK, ZHR_RCF_SF_URL_PREPARE_CALLBAC, and ZHR_RCF_SF_URL_REFRESH_GT)
Step2:
In the function ZHR_RCF_SF_URL_CALLBACK, change this code accordingly:
  READ TABLE data WITH KEY code = 'ST' INTO ls_name.                  
  CHECK sy-subrc = 0.                                                                               
lv_name = ls_name-string.                                                                          INSERT                                                                               
READ TABLE gt_url INTO ls_urlkey WITH KEY name = lv_name.       INSERT    
  CHECK sy-subrc = 0.                                                                               INSERT    
  DELETE gt_url INDEX sy-tabix.                                                               INSERT                                                                               
READ TABLE data WITH KEY code = 'LK' INTO ls_url.                  
  CHECK sy-subrc = 0.                                                
  DELETE data WHERE code = 'LK'.                                                                               
lv_name = ls_name-string.                                                 COMMENT    
READ TABLE gt_url INTO ls_urlkey WITH KEY name = lv_name.  COMMENT    
CHECK sy-subrc = 0.                                                      COMMENT    
DELETE gt_url INDEX sy-tabix.                                            COMMENT                                                                               
l_str = ls_urlkey-url.
Where INSERT is inserting the code in blue, and COMMENT is commenting out the code in blue, respectively.   This change makes sure that an alias has a URL associated with it.
Step 3:
Two standard classes must be modified in order to produce the alias.  These classes are: CL_HRRCF_CS_DOC_CAT_APPL as well as CL_HRRCF_CS_DOC_CAT_INVITATION.  Code must be added to the method GENERATE_DOCUMENT in both classes:
u2026u2026.
CONCATENATE l_prot '://' l_host ':' l_port '/' INTO l_base_url.                                                                               
ls_xsf_param-name = 'BASE-URL'.                                           
ls_xsf_param-value = l_base_url.                                          
APPEND ls_xsf_param TO me->sf_output_options-xsfpars.                                                                               
me->sf_output_options-urlcall = 'ZHR_RCF_SF_URL_CALLBACK'.         INSERT
                                                                                CALL FUNCTION me->sf_properties-function_module                           
   EXPORTING                                                               
     control_parameters = me->sf_control_pars                
Step 4:
In the SmartForms, code must be added to the u2018Initializationu2019 portion in the u2018Global Definitionsu2019 section.  Also, data types must be defined in BOTH the u2018Global Datau2019, and the u2018TYPESu2019 section as well.
In the TYPES section, define these variables:
TYPES ls_recruiting_team_member type rcf_s_cs_di_recruiting_team.
TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_url,
                name(80) TYPE c ,
                url  TYPE string,
              END OF ty_url.
TYPES: ty_urltab TYPE TABLE OF ty_url.
TYPES: GD_URL TYPE string.
TYPES: DISPLAY_URL TYPE string.
In the u2018Global Definitionsu2019 section, define these variables:
GS_URL     TYPE          TY_URL
GT_URL     TYPE          TY_URLTAB
GD_URL     TYPE          STRING
DISPLAY_URL     TYPE          STRING
Also, here you can define any other constant aliasu2019 you would like to use (e.g. G_ALIAS_TEST type STRING with Constant value 'Test Link').
In the u2018Initializationu2019 of the SmartForm, the correlation between the link and the alias is defined:
gs_url-url  = CANDIDATE-PERS_PAGE_URL.
gs_url-name = 'Persönliche Seite'.
APPEND gs_url TO gt_url.
or
gs_url-url  =u2019http://whatever.comu2019.
gs_url-name = 'Testlink'.
APPEND gs_url TO gt_url.
In our case, we generated the URL in a string, then assigned the dynamic string to the URL:
   concatenate
      ls_protocol '://'
      ls_host ':'
      ls_port
      '/sap/bc/bsp/sap/'
      'hrrcf_start_ext/application.do'
      '?sap-client=' sy-mandt
      '&BspClient=' sy-mandt
      '&sap-language=' sy-langu
      '&BspLanguage=' sy-langu
      '&rcfSpId=0002'
      '&rcfContext=ATT'
      '&sap-themeRoot=/sap/public/bc/ur/Design2002/themes/att_theme'
      into GD_URL.
gs_url-url  = GD_URL.
gs_url-name = 'Testlink'.
APPEND gs_url TO gt_url.
The link MUST be defined within the SmartForm.
Next, make the call to the custom function:
CALL FUNCTION 'ZHR_RCF_SF_URL_PREPARE_CALLBAC
              TABLES
                     pt_url = gt_url.
Now we link the DISPLAY_URL to the name that we defined in gs_url-name.
display_url   = gs_url-name.
This will make the text whatever you define it in the code above, and also makes the actual URL whatever you defined it as.
Step 5:
In the Main Window of the SmartForm (under Pages and Windows), you must define the DISPLAY_URL as a variable to be displayed.  Using the INSERT FIELD button on the page, type in:
&DISPLAY_URL&
Then, highlight the variable, and then click the HYPERLINK button to make it a hyperlink.  The variable should now become highlighted in blue.
