How do I truncate a longer text field for use in a shorter one?

I currently have two fields one that is a Multi-line 4000 character box. I would like to take the first 50 characters and mirror it into a small SYS short description field.
Is there a formula or a function that I can use to capture only the first 50 characters?
Thanks in advance.

Long text field for Purchase Order help

Hey guys,
First, I'm VERY new to ABAP/SRM in general. So please be patient with me.
We have users who are entering additional text comments into SRM (when creating a new PO).
The problem is...when they enter the text and hit <ENTER> I am getting it on the SCC side as "#" seperating the lines.
For example...
User types
line 1
line 2
line 3
It is appearing as line 1#line 2#line 3
I've done some debugging, and found the filed it is referring to:
IS_OBJECT-SC-LONGTEXT and the field is TDLINE
But I have no idea how to fix this...is this something I can change? We don't want to change SAP code...is there a BADI I can access??? Anything?

Hello,
To look for SAP OSS notes, you need a user and his password to access to SAP website:
[http://service.sap.com/support]
If you don't have it, ask for your team leader to give you one.

here is how I would do it:
1) convert the input (short text) table to string
2) apply this code to the string:
DATA: lv_text TYPE text40,
          lv_length TYPE i.
WHILE lv_string IS NOT INITIAL.
lv_length = 39.
lv_text = lv_string.
WHILE lv_text+lv_length(1) NE space AND lv_length GE 0.
       lv_text = lv_text(lv_length).
       lv_length = lv_length - 1.
ENDWHILE.
IF lv_length GE 0.
     APPEND lv_text TO lt_short_text.
ENDIF.
   lv_length = lv_length + 1.
   SHIFT lv_string LEFT BY lv_length PLACES.
ENDWHILE.

How to download and upload long text for project, WBS , Network,

Hi all,
I have two isssues.
1) I am extracting Projects, WBS , Network , Network activity and network activity element from a SAP 4.7 system using bapi's
BAPI_PROJECTDEF_GETDETAIL
BAPI_PROJECT_GETINFO
BAPI_NETWORK_GETINFO
BAPI_BUS2054_GETDATA
I am able to get all the details except long text. I want to know how do i extract the long text other than getting it manually by using select_text and Read_text Function module, is there any bapi to achieve this.
The reason why i am not using Function modules Read_text and Write_text is, object name( TDNAME ) value stored in STXH table for project, wbs and network are the project, wbs and network itself so i dont have any issues with this but the TDname value for activity and activity element are completely different ( Routing number and counter is stored respectively ) which i am not getting as the part of the bapi(BAPI_NETWORK_GETINFO) output.
2) I have to upload the extracted Project and it sub object data to ECC 6.0 system , i am able to achieve this by using BAPI's BAPI_PROJECTDET_CREATE, BAPI_PROJECT_MAINTAIN and BAPI_NETWORK_MAINTAIN. I am not able to load the longtext for the same, is there any way to load the long text .
All help will be greatly appreciated and rewarded.
Thanks & Regards,
Rajanidhi Rajasekeran.

I don't think there is any BAPI to do it.
We are doing it by read_text & edit_text . required fields for text name can be fetched by following select
if not e_activity[] is initial.
    select aaufnr aaufpl baplzl bobjnr b~vornr
      into corresponding fields of table t_longtext
      from afko
        as a
    left join afvc
        as b
        on aaufpl = baufpl
       for all entries in e_activity
       where a~aufnr = e_activity-network
       and a~aufnr is not null.
endif.
      txtname = wa_longtext-objnr.
      replace c_nv in txtname with sy-mandt.

G/L Account Long Text Field in Display

Dear Sir,
I want G/L Account long text field be displayed along with G/L account number in G/L Account line item display report (FBL3N)
I cheched the layout, the option of G/L account number is available but option of G/L account Long text is not available.
Kindly guide me as to how can I do it?
Regards
Chirag Shah

You must do some development for it.
You can add additional field to FBL*N reports with using BTE exit.
First of all, if you don't use BTE before, you must create a product on FIBF.
Call FIBF transaction -> Settings -> Products -> ...of a customer
Create a new line,
Product: ZFI
Text: BTE Products for FI Exit
Product active: tick checks from activation.
Then you must call SE11 for structure RFPOS.
You must use append structure function for this structure and you can define ZFI_RFPOS append structure
Define 4 fields.
Component: KUNNR - Component type: KUNNR
Component: NAMED - Component type: NAME1
Component: LIFNR - Component type: LINFR
Component: NAMEK - Component type: NAME1
Then save and active your RFPOS structure.
After that, you must do same step for structure RFPOSX.
Then go to SE37 and copy from SAMPLE_INTERFACE_00001650 to ZFI_INTERFACE_00001650 FM.
After copy action, you must uncomment this line on ZFI_INTERFACE_00001650 FM's source code. It's very important;
E_POSTAB = I_POSTAB.
Then you should add some ABAP code for getting customer & vendor details.
I give you some examples, you can use it. (Next message on this thread, please check)
Then save and active FM.
Call FIBF transaction again.
FIBF -> Settings -> Process Modules -> ...of a customer
Define a new line.
Process: 00001650
Function Module: ZFI_INTERFACE_00001650
Product: ZFI
and this customizing.
Then you go to SE38 transaction.
start report RFPOSXEXTEND. After starting, a pop-up appears, you must click YES.
After those operations, you can see customer/vendor code and their names on FBL3N.
ABAP source example,
TABLES : bseg, kna1, lfa1.
IF sy-tcode = 'FBL3N'.
CLEAR: bseg.
SELECT SINGLE *
FROM bseg
WHERE bukrs = i_postab-bukrs
       AND belnr = i_postab-belnr
       AND gjahr = i_postab-gjahr
       AND koart = 'K'.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
    e_postab-lifnr = bseg-lifnr.
    CLEAR: lfa1.
    SELECT SINGLE *
    FROM lfa1
    WHERE lifnr = bseg-lifnr.
    IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
      e_postab-namek = lfa1-name1.
    ENDIF.
ENDIF.
CLEAR : bseg.
SELECT SINGLE *
FROM bseg
WHERE bukrs = i_postab-bukrs
       AND belnr = i_postab-belnr
       AND gjahr = i_postab-gjahr
       AND koart = 'D'.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
    e_postab-kunnr = bseg-kunnr.
    CLEAR: kna1.
    SELECT SINGLE *
    FROM kna1
    WHERE kunnr = bseg-kunnr.
    IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
      e_postab-named = kna1-name1.
    ENDIF.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.

Need to find table/field behind "Item long text" field in Notes tab in FB70

Hello,
To print a custom FI invoice, I need to access the data entered in the "Item long text" field of the Notes tab in FB70. To test, I used 5000 characters in that field to make sure it stood out from the rest of the data. F1 help does nothing on that field, and even running an SQL trace (ST05) doesn't show the text in that field being entered into any table. I tried F1 on a nearby field and got a structure instead of a table, so I investigated the structure through SE11 but found no character field with such a large capacity. How else can I find where that field is stored?

Thanks! It took a while, but with your help and a few other pages I managed to piece together an answer.
Vinod helpfully explained that the text name is a concatenation of various fields, but didn't specify how to find the line item ID. If you go to table STXH (as hinted by Brad and confirmed [here|http://fuller.mit.edu/SAPWebDocs/LongComment.html]) and search for texts created today (or whenever you were testing), you'll see the text name ends in '001' after GJAHR, so the line item ID is '001' regardless of how many line items you enter in the invoice.
Armed with that info, you can call READ_TEXT and loop through the results to concatenate the contents of each TDLINE field. (FB70 automatically breaks the user-entered text into different lines even if the user didn't press Enter, and each line gets its own record in the results.)
Thanks again,
Pedro

To Make the Long text field as required using OA Framework Personalization

Hi All
In IProcurement requisition, we have long text field called 'Justification' a long text field. I have made this field as mandatory by setting the required property as 'Yes' at site level. This works for Most of the cases. However if the user just presses Enter key and skip without entering something in this field . So how to stop the user without entering something except spaces or enterkey to proceed further.
Regards
Rajkumar

Hi,
Very Interesting question, I never thought of it.
In your case you may try to extend the controller of that page and in the controller trim the text and set that value to the text.
In other way, You can try in USER hook function : POR_CUSTOM_PKG package, check if you are getting that value.

BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST long text field missing

Hi,
I will have to transfer our vendor open items from v 3.1 to ERP 2004. I
am using BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST to upload these open items. However, I
cannot find the 'LONG TEXT' field in the said BAPI. In using F-02, a
long text field/button is available. How can i post an entry in the long text
field of the line item in f-02 using BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST.
Also, i have used the extension1 table and a BTE (note 487722) in
uploading the posting key. Since field bschl is available in table
accit, there was no problem in doing this. However, i cannot seem to
find the field long text in this table. Is it available? If not, what
can I do with the above situation.
Thanks.

Hi
Excuse me! you can't use RFBIBL00, use the fm SAVE_TEXT.
After calling the BAPI you should have the number of FI document will be created and know in which item you need to insert the long text so:
THEAD-TDOBJECT = <Object text>.
THEAD-TDNAME(4) = <Company code>
THEAD-TDNAME+4(10) = <Document number>
THEAD-TDNAME+14(4) = <Fyscal year>
THEAD-TDNAME+18(3) = <Item number>.
THEAD-TDID = <Id text>.
THEAD-TDSPRAS = <Language>.
THEAD-TDLINESIZE = 72.
These are the header data, transfer the text in LINES parameters.

Special Characters in Long Text Field of FI Documents

Hi,
Users entered the following in the long text field of a FI document:
"Settlement of claims for direct shipment (Refer to XXX/YY-053/2009, XXX/YY-018/2009, XX2120000031 and X2120000033)"
The default editor used is the one which looks like the MS Word.
When we changd to the other editor (Goto > Change Editor), we see the following:
"Settlement of claims for direct shipment to Thailand (Refer to"
"XXX/YY-053/2009<(>,<)> XXX/YY-018/2009, XX2120000031 and X2120000033)"
How did "<(>,<)> " comes about?
Any ideas?

I'd probably use a regex of "allowed" characters rather than a list of "disallowed" characters, but thats just a difference in approach.
I would probably use a regular expression - alphanumeric is fairly easy to check
String value = request.getParameter("enteredField");
boolean alphaNumericOnly = value.matches("\\w+");As a matter of being nice to the user, you can also do this check in javascript on the client side.
ALWAYS validate server side.
Optionally validate client side to give the user a better experience (less round trip requests)
Cheers,

How to Add/Concatenate to a text field, values selected in a combo box

I have a combo box form field that allows the user to select a value from a list and click on an Add button. The Add button should add/concatenate the vaue selected to a text field in order to create a list of values selected. I'm not sure how to do this using Javascript in Acrobat? I know I need to add the javascript to the Add button's Mouse Up action. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Let's say the text field's name is "Text1", and the combo is called "Combo1". You can then use this code as the MouseUp script of the Add button:
var f1 = this.getField("Text1");
var f2 = this.getField("Combo1");
if (f1.value=="") f1.value = f2.value;
else f1.value = f1.value + ", " + f2.value;
