I have a srored process which prompts the user for an email address:

to=(&p_email)

This works fine, except when the email address entered contains special characters, namely a hyphen. I this case joebloggs@a-company.com becomes joebloggs@a - company.com when the email is sent, thus failing.

Can anyone suggest a solution or explain why this is happening?

Thanks

Difficult to say without seeing/knowing what your process entails, but one easy solution might be to just wrap the macro variable in a compress function.

E.g., to=compress("&p_email.");
