Just the same way that you have already set the subject.
For Example:
Email-Text = "A Quantity of " + string(orderdtl.orderqty) +
" for Part Number " + STRING(orderdtl.partnum) + " has
been added to SO " + string(orderdtl.ordernum) + " as Line Number " +
string(orderdtl.orderline) + " for despatch on " + string
(orderdtl.needbydate) + ". " + string(orderdtl.ordercomment) + ".".

You need an Assign command beforehand, but can set the addresses,
subject and text all from one assign command.

General rules: "Text within quotation marks."
space before and after the + which concatentates a database field and
all the database fields in the same format (I've converted all above
to strings (even when I didn't need to probably)).

I'm sure there's more but I'm just learning too.

Like many of you, I too am a newer Vantage user... went live on
version 8 this past September. We didn't realize that alot of the
neat alerts we were sold on had to be written by us! So, we are
learning... mostly by trial and error.

Since there seem to be some seasoned veterans out there... was
wondering if someone could give an example of how to take this very
simple alert and add information. This alert simply sends an e-mail
when a new part is added- the part number is in the subject line.
How would it be modified to include vital information in the body of
the e-mail? For example, including the part description and product
code.

I think once we get the hang of this, it won't be so bad. Just
looking for some examples.

{ud/GlbAlert.i &TableName = "Part"}

/* Set the FROM address */
ASSIGN Email-From = "vantage@...;Part Change
Notification":U.

/* Add the part number to the subject line */
ASSIGN Email-Subject = Email-Subject + " (" + Part.PartNum + ")".

/* Set the email type to be HTML */
ASSIGN Email-Mime-Header = {&HTML-Mime}.
