Append Long Text LSMW

Hi guys,
Currently when I use the Direct Input program, if Long Text Lines currently exist prior to running the direct input program, these are overwritten. Is there any way to cause the text lines to be appended to those currently existing in a Long Text field?
Thanks in advance,
- Neil

Hi Neil,
You have to enter a code in the LSMW to read the text using FM read_text and assign the new text after the existing text.

Recovery of Long Texts with LSMW in CRM

Hi all,
How can I recovered long texts in LSMW, texts with more than 132 characters and with a lot of lines ?
I have to recovered Business Partners in CRM with technical IDOC (mesage type CRM_XIF_PARTNER_SAVE), and when the texts are recovered (structure E101BUS_EI_LONGTEXT), I have only one line (the first or the last).
Thanks for help.

Hi,
Yes, I know that I can make a specific program to load the long texts with the function "SAVE_TEXT", but I want to know how to load long texts into LSMW. For example, I have the same problems when I used the standard program /SAPDMC/SAP_LSMW_IMPORT_TEXTS : it will only load one line with 132 characters. So, WHY ? and how to load more than one line ?
Thanks

Standard LSMW to load Routing Long text

We are migrating data to sap for Routings. We are using SAP best practices to load the data into sap using idocs. But we dont have idoc structure to load Long Text.
Do you know a LSMW standard direct input to upload the routing long text.
Please help me out.

Yes, you can upload long texts to pretty much any application, routings, boms, material masters, etc.
In LSMW select the following direct input method:
Object 0001 Long texts
Method 0001 (No selection)
Program Name /SAPDMC/SAP_LSMW_IMP
Program Type D Direct Input
You can define the following as constants in field mapping and conversion rule.
TDOBJECT C(010) Text: 'ROUTING'
TDID C(004) Text ID : 'PLKO' <<< if you're uploading to header
TDSPRAS C(001) Language : 'EN'
TDFORMAT C(002) Paragraph format for text line : '*'
If you want upload to operations etc look at the following table
ROUTING PLFH Long Text
ROUTING PLFL Long Text
ROUTING PLFT Long text
ROUTING PLFV Long Text
ROUTING PLKO Long Text
ROUTING PLPH Long text
ROUTING PLPO Long Text
internally SAP stores, routing group with zeros padded on the left. For example if your routing group is 200 it will be stored as 00000200 so in your flat file either you have to pad the zeros or in the LSMW you need to use the conversion exit function module.
You can following link below if you want to deeper understanding on this subject.
Re: LSMW : Long text not visible after the import of data

How to upload Methods long text using LSMW

Hi,
I am using LSMW - direct input program (Object 0001 Method - 0001) to upload methods long text.
I have two files with header and item as below
Header file:
Object : QPMETHODE
ID : QMTT
Item_id : link between header and item (method number)
NAME: Passing concatenated value of "sy-mandt, company code, Method number, 6 char space for version and language"
Language : E or S.
Item file:
Item_id : link between header and item (Method number)
Text Format : blank
Text line : long text
Here the problem is, after converting the data i have run the direct input program to upload the long text, but it is not updated in the transaction QS34.
Could any one help in this?
Thanks & Regards,
Suresh.

Hello,
The field QMTT-LTEXTKZ is a flag which says whether Inspection method has a long text associated with it at transaction level. You are not able to see the Long text in the transaction though you have loaded & able to see the long text by FM READ_TEXT because in your case the field QMTT-LTEXTKZ = ' '. so I suggest you to load the long text in following way.
Step 1: make a small recording to Tx: QS33 - push the long text button to get the long text editor. in this editor, on second line of the tag, put a * and save the transaction. By this way you put a X in field QMTT-LTEXTKZ & hence register a longtext for Inspection Method.
Step 2: proceed with the loading the Long text with object 0001as you mentioned.
Now you will be able to see the LT on the transaction level.
Hope this helps.
Regards, Murugesh

Routing Long text not populated using LSMW

I need help with the ROUTING LONG TEXT using LSMW. I'm using the standard LSMW direct input program /SAPDMC/SAP_LSMW_IMP . I'm confused with NAME field while loading the data. I have tried to create the routing long text manually after successful creation i opened the Longtext at header screen and opened GOTO--> HEADER there i have seen TEXT NAME is constructed based on CLIENT || N || GROUP || GROUPCOUNTER || INTERNAL_COUNTER (CLIENT||N||PLNTY||PLNNR||PLNAL||ZAEHL - field names) I used the same logic to construct the test data for another routings which were created and doesn't have the long text. I have run the lsmw program and executed successfully but when i open the routing in CA03 i dont see the long text populated.
Test data used looks like this:
OBJECT NAME TDID SPRAS TEXTFORM TEXTLINE
ROUTING N500000890100000001 PLKO E * THIS IS A TEST1
ROUTING N500000890100000001 PLKO E * THIS IS A TEST2
ROUTING N500000890100000001 PLKO E * THIS IS LINE3
ROUTING N500000910100000001 PLKO E * LONGTEXT1
ROUTING N500000910100000001 PLKO E * LONGTEXT2
My question here is do i need to construct the NAME as i have mentioned above or do i need to just send the Routing Group number into the file for the NAME field. Help me understand what do i need to populate into NAME field.
Please help with the mistake i have done.
Pretty much appriectiated for your replies.

You asked the same question in two different forums multiple times:
Standard LSMW to load Routing Long text
Re: LSMW : Long text not visible after the import of data
Please use same one thread for one question.
I gave you most of the needed information assuming you know how to do LSMW in the first thread itself.
You need to have the following fields in your source structure in addition to other fields like long text
MANDT
PLNTY
PLNNR
PLNAL
ZAEHL
In the step Maintain Field Mapping and Conversion Rules assign the source field MANDT to the variable NAME and then again place the cursor on the variable NAME and assign variable PLNTY, (now you have two source field assigned to same variable) similarly assign all the remaining 3 source fields PLNNR, PLNAL, ZAEHL. (now you have 5 source field assigned to same variable).
Now select the variable NAME by placing the cursor click on Rule (Insert Rule) and select the radio button Concatenation .
Make sure that in your input file you have leading zeros for PLNNR PLNAL and ZAEHL etc. like below
50000089, 01, 00000001
Also, you don't need maintain the value of OBJECT, TDID, SPRAS, TEXTFORM as source fields. You can directly maintain them as constants in Maintain Field Mapping and Conversion Rules by click on the push button Rule .

Creating a long text using ABAP code.. fm SAVE_TEXT

When you create an order via IW31 one of the options is to click on the text button and create a long text. I am basically trying to mimic this action from within my ABAP code.
The text id details are as follows:
Text Name 500000015000046 which is (5000000 + order number)
Language EN
Text ID KOPF Order header text
Text Object AUFK Order text
If i manually create the text within the transaction i am then able to view and update it via function modules READ_TEXT and SAVE_TEXT. But if the text has not already been created READ_TEXT obviously returns nothing as it does not exist and SAVE_TEXT does not seem to created it!
Anyone know how i would go about creating this text using ABAP code?
Hope this make a bit of sense
Thanks in advance

I have implemented the code as i think it should be. See below, can any see what is wrong. If i add init_text it makes no difference and adding the commit_text just makes it hang

Populating the long text in equipment

How do we propose to populate the long txt in equipment? Is LSMW viable option, or would this be more complicated than it
sounds?

hi,
Long text always create problem either in functional location and equipements.So it becomes difficult in LSMW .the problem you will face is while recording in lsmw either you will get word document when you open long text and in main upload it will be in a format where only 72 characters per line is possible.
so it is better always if long text is involved to use BDC ..life becomes easy through BDC.

Hi Krishna,
Please use the object_type parameter of tthe FM as 'HTM'.
Then divide the text by append them into the lines of the object_content. In the begining and end make sure you have
 -- in the begining
-- in the end
if i want to type the text in one para " My name is Imran and i am an ABAP developer".
CLEAR: WA_OBJECT_CONTENT.
WA_OBJECT_CONTENT-line = '<html>'<body> My name is Imran.
APPEND WA_OBJECT_CONTENT TO T_OBJECT_CONTENT.
CLEAR WA_OBJECT_CONTENT.
WA_OBJECT_CONTENT-line = ' and i am an ABAP developer</body><html;>'.
APPEND WA_OBJECT_CONTENT TO T_OBJECT_CONTENT.
Hope this helps you.
Regards
Imran.
