Difference betwen short text and long text

Hi,
what is the difference between short text, long text and variant.

Hi,
Short text is the short description you give for an object or field simlarly long text is the long description for a object or field.
Short text cannot have lenght more than 20 and long text more than 60.
Variant means for example if you give certain values as an input in one of your transaction for testing and you want the same values to be used every time you test in that particular screen, then instead of inputting the values again n again you call the variant.
Hope this helps

  • Creation of short text and long text?

    Hi,
    We create short text by using oe_fnd_attachments_pub.create_short_text_document and oe_fnd_attachments_pub.add_attachment API and to create long text we use fnd_documents_pkg.insert_row .
    Why is it that we have different approaches for creation of short text and long text?
    I know that oe_fnd_attachments_pub.add_attachment is used to attach a short text to some entity,but then why we dont do the same for long text?
    Please lemme knw urgently ...
    Thanks and Regards
    Amar

    Thanks for the help,

    Regards,

    Hi Atul,
    I think you can enter short description & long text seprately for a WBS while creating entire struture of project in PS only. I don't think other than PS you will be able to enter short & long text for individual WBS.

  • Display short, medium, and long text in a query

    Hi all, we have a requirement to display the short, medium, and long text of an info-object in our queries.  Currently, it seems that you can only select one text lenght at a time but not all three of them together.  Aside from creating texts as attributes, is there a way to display all of the texts of an info-object?
    For example, we have internal orders with 3 texts.  When we run the query, we need to see the order number, then the short text, medium text, and long text.  Is this possible?
    thanks
    Kory Squire

    yeah you are right, we can get all the texts as attributes. Other than that you can only get any one of them.

  • Showing short , medium and long texts together

    Hi,
    I have 0material and have navigational attribute -subdivision.
    I need subdivision to be seen in the report as following
    <b>KEY | TEXT SHORT | TEXT LONG</b>
    is there a way to show those together in Reporting?
    I know i can show KEY- SHORT TEXT or KEY-LONG TEXT but they are not useful for me.
    Regards
    Mete

    Hi Mete,
    you need to add the subdivision as infoprovider. Create a infosource just for subdivision and short and long text. Assign the text datasource to that infosource. Add 0txtsh and 0txtlg as attributes to the subdivision. Create a update rule from your new infosource to subdivision and update the subdivision and txtsh and txslg. But here you need to concentrate on just one language. Additonally post that new infosource to the texts as well providing the language key as well.

  • Field Short Text and long Text not displayed in SKA1 in Se17

    When try to extract chart of account data from SAP using Tcode se17 and table ska1. Short text and G/L acc long text are not displayed where as these are displayed when we use t code se16 and table ska1.
    My client want to use specifically se17 for extracting the data.

    Vineet,
    that's a joke isnt' it ?
    se17 is from SAP-Rel 2.1 or s.th.!
    all jokes aside - the inclusion of text table (here table skat - to table ska1) is only realized with transcations SE16 and SE16N.
    To program this inclusion to se17 is very costly - i think and a modification too!
    hope you can persuade your client

    <MOVED BY MODERATOR TO THE CORRECT FORUM>
    Edited by: Alvaro Tejada Galindo on May 5, 2009 10:25 AM

    Hi ,
          In the transaction related to PO select the path goto->header texts and then details of the texts like ID,objectname,language,name.Pass all theses details to 'READ_TEXT '   FM. Then you will get text lines described for a perticular Po ,similarly for item also.
    Thanks,

  • Short and long texts

    Dear Experts,
    I have many BW objects (like Infocubes, Infoobject catalogues, Infoobjects) for which no short and long texts are maintained in one language. Now, all these are in use in the production system. I have to edit the short and long texts for all of these objects. My intention on how to do it is to,
    1) Logon to the Development system
    2) Edit short texts manually for all of the objects.
    3) Collect the changed objects in Transport organiser and transport to the productive system.
    My only question is does we need to do any thing in the production system after transporting these objects for them to get reflected.
    Any help and other thoughts are greatly appreciated...
    Kind Regards,
    Shravan

    Transport Changes and that's all ...
    Hope it helps

  • GL Account Short vs. Long Text

    Where is the short text vs. long text used in the system for GL account descriptions?  There is not enough room right now in the short text field for our account descriptions so we are concerned what the implications of using the same names across multiple accounts for the short description but putting all the correct detail in the long text field.

    Hello,
    Normally these short text are visible when you go with F4 (drop down list), you will see the short text. As stated earlier, I would not recommend any changes to standard screens. Many of the SAP implementation that I have seen gone with the standard and used the length provided by SAP.
    Business need to use more logic when they are defining short and long texts. If you are creating cost elements, note that the same short and long text will be copied to COST ELEMENTS.

  • Function module for detailes description of Order and long text in task

    Hello gurus,
                       please help me with Function module for detaile description of Order and long text in task list(operation Tab)?
    regards,
    YK

    Hi, 
    You should be able to read the Order short text directly from table AUFK. The Order long text or task list long text can be read by using FM "Read_text". Use Goto> Header on every long text screen to identify the parameters that need to be passed hen using this FM.

  • Mass upload of characteristics and long text for Object Links in DIR

    hello all
    I want to upload characteristics and long text of Linked Objects in Documents: i wanted to use BAPI_OBJCL_CHANGE and family but, it is a class that is on a different level than the DIR as it does not belong to the DIR directly, but to objects that are linked TO the dir, via the tab linked object.
    any idea on how I can do that?
    LSMW and recordings do not work (or at least I did not find a way to make them work);
    have you encountered such a situation?
    thanks

  • What's the functional difference between placeholder text and regular text?

    When inserting text into a project template that I'm creating, what's the difference between inserting regular text (using the Caption tool) and inserting placeholder text?
    There's an obvious difference between inserting an image and an image placeholder, but when I use a project template that I've created, placeholder text and caption text behave the same way: I see the text on the stage, and double-click it to edit. So why go through the extra step of inserting placeholder text?

    Textbooks are educational books for use in schools and universities and the like. They are currently avaiable for purchase only in the USA. Textbooks have different contract clauses applied to them. Among them is an obligation on the publisher to offer textbooks that are sold in electronic form via other distributors in the iBookstore as well. Textbooks also have different (much lower) pricing tiers, and they must be made available via the bulk purchasing program. Textbooks must be authored with IBA (they cannot be ePub). I believe that textbooks also undergo a more stringent review process.
    Normal eBooks (not in the textbook category) can currently be sold in 32 territories (US, Canada, Australia, and most of Europe), and their pricing tiers provide for much higher prices.
    There is no difference in the widgets you can use in normal books and textbooks. The same widget set that is provided by IBA applies to both. In addition, a normal eBook can be published in ePub format and, therefore, authored with software other than IBA.
    Books can contain audio and video and, yes, iBooks Author allows you to create such books.

  • SAP SCRIPT Header text and Item text not printing in customized PO

    Hello Experts,
                          I have copied the standard MEDRUCK to ZMEDRUCK and customized the form according to the requirement.
    I want to print the header text and Item text in my form.
    For Header text I have used :
    /: INCLUDE &EKKO-EBELN& OBJECT EKKO ID F01
    Problem 1: The text what I enter in header text is flowing only when I hit on print preview without saving the form. Once I save the SAP SCRIPT  and click on print preview the field is appearing blank. I also tried to print the form, but the field is appearing blank even on the print out.
    Problem 2: For item text the field is concatenation of  EBELN & EBELP. Can anyone suggest me how to concatenate and fetch the text in item text.
