Loading Long text longer than 132.

Hi,
I am trying to load Material Master long text (Basic data, Purchase order Text) . The LSMW (a standard batch / direct input) for Long text only allows 132 chars and my long text is longer than 132?
What can i use to load the long text?
Regards,
K.

Hi
Within the program, structure TLINE loads the text.
This structure consists to fields TDFORMAT and TDLINE.
The text exists in field TLINE-TDLINE.
Whereever, we need to give extended text we can use '=' symbol for TDFORMAT. Just like in SAP Script Form(Extended Line).
Alternatively you can use FM: SAVE_TEXT for loading the texts.
Insert a convert routine to split the text in several lines.
You can use the following function module to split your long text into multiple lines.
QADB_DOCU_CONVERT_TO_SAPSCRIPT
You can refer this link for further information
Re: insert it into the next line in internal table
Thanks.

GR Page headers empty for 1st page for Long Text greated than 26 lines

Gurus,
I have this wierd problem on my GR. I added the following code and corresponding fetches in the printprogram to include PO Item long texts in the GR.
/: INCLUDE &T166P-TXNAM& OBJECT &T166P-TDOBJECT& ID &T166P-TDID& LANGUAGE E PARAGRAPH Z8 NEW-PARAGRAPH Z8
When the text is upto 26 lines, everything seems fine. But when it is more than 26 lines and usually a new page needs to be created, all the dynamic texts like PO number, Buyer name, Plant name etc. in the header of the 1st page is blank. But all the details in the second page seem to apprear fine.
Any suggestions on where to or what to look for to solve this problem?
I'd appreciate any help with this problem.
Thanks
L

Yes...the way the current print program works is that the header and footer contains information like PO number dat, buyer, isuued by etc and these will print on each page that is created. These are populated prior to the area where write forms for Main are issued.
The main page contains the Item related information. I have added a code where the long text is also obtained before all the write forms. I then issue write form in the same subroutine where other Main-related write forms are coded.

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.

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.

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

Modifying the lengh of a long text field- Crystal Report version 2011

Hello,
I'm having a problem with the long text field in my crystal report.
I'll desribe the problem:
We work with BW version 7.4 sp 5.
I created a BEX Report with an infobject of type Long Text (Long Text is XL).
I know the length of this field is 1,333 char.
When I run the Bex Report the field is displayed correctly (long text).
I then created a Crystal Report 2011 version 14.0.6.1036 RTM based on my BEX Query.
The problem is that the Crystal report brought this database long text field as a
String[70]. Thus I get only the first 70 characters of the field.
Can we modify the settings of the field to enlarge it to be 1,333 characters in
length?
Thank you,
Ayelet

Hi Jothi,
Short Text and Long Text are associated objects of a Characteristic from a BEx query.
The 'Short Text' will not turn to 'Long Text' by setting the 'Can Grow' option.
In Fact, both are completely different objects.

Reading Texts longer than 132 Characters

Hello Seniors,
I am working on Reading Texts more that 132 characters long.Texts should include Symbols also.I want to Create and Savethe texts and then read them wherever I want from ABAP functions.
I want to know the Transports information relating to this.
Could there be any function modules (with relevant parameter passing)to create long texts and then read them where ever I need.
Thank You,
cnc.

HI
Check the fun module READ_TEXT, CREATE_TEXT and SAVE_TEXT and EDIT_TEXT etc related to the Std texts
Have to pass the parameters like OBJECT,ID, OBJECTNAME,LANGUAGE
You can transport these texts using the program RSTXTRAN
see the doc
READ_TEXT
READ_TEXT provides a text for the application program in the specified work areas.
The function module reads the desired text from the text file, the text memory, or the archive. You must fully specify the text using OBJECT, NAME, ID, and LANGUAGE. An internal work area can hold only one text; therefore, generic specifications are not allowed with these options.
After successful reading, the system places header information and text lines into the work areas specified with HEADER and LINES.
If a reference text is used, SAPscript automatically processes the reference chain and provides the text lines found in the text at the end of the chain. If an error occurs, the system leaves the function module and triggers the exception REFERENCE_CHECK.
Function call:
CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'
EXPORTING CLIENT = SY-MANDT
OBJECT = ?...
NAME = ?...
ID = ?...
LANGUAGE = ?...
ARCHIVE_HANDLE = 0
IMPORTING HEADER =
TABLES LINES = ?...
EXCEPTIONS ID =
LANGUAGE =
NAME =
NOT_FOUND =
OBJECT =
REFERENCE_CHECK =
WRONG_ACCESS_TO_ARCHIVE =
Export parameters:
CLIENT
Specify the client under which the text is stored. If you omit this parameter, the system uses the current client as default.
Reference field: SY-MANDT
Default value: SY-MANDT
OBJECT
Enter the name of the text object to which the text is allocated. Table TTXOB contains the valid objects.
Reference field: THEAD-TDOBJECT
NAME
Enter the name of the text module. The name may be up to 70 characters long. Its internal structure depends on the text object used.
Reference field: THEAD-TDNAME
ID
Enter the text ID of the text module. Table TTXID contains the valid text IDs, depending on the text object.
Reference field: THEAD-TDID
LANGUAGE
Enter the language key of the text module. The system accepts only languages that are defined in table T002.
Reference field: THEAD-TDSPRAS
ARCHIVE_HANDLE
If you want to read the text from the archive, you must enter a handle here. The system uses it to access the archive. You can create the handle using the function module ACHIVE_OPEN_FOR_READ.
The value '0' indicates that you do not want to read the text from the archive.
Reference field: SY-TABIX
Default value: 0
Import parameters:
HEADER
If the system finds the desired text, it returns the text header in this parameter.
Structure: THEAD
Table parameters:
LINES
The table contains all text lines that belong to the text read.
Structure: TLINE
Exceptions:
ID
The text ID specified in the parameter ID does not exist in table TTXID. It must be defined there together with the object of the text module.
LANGUAGE
The parameter LANGUAGE contains a language key that does not exist in table T002.
NAME
The parameter NAME contains the name of a text module that does not correspond to the SAPscript conventions.
Possible errors:
The field contains only blanks.
The field contains the invalid characters * or ,.
OBJECT
The parameter OBJECT contains the name of a text object that does not exist in table TTXOB.
NOT_FOUND
The system did not find the specified text module.
REFERENCE_CHECK
The text module to be read has no text lines of its own but refers to the lines of another text module. This reference chain can include several levels. For the current text, the chain is interrupted, that is, one of the text modules referred to in the chain no longer exists.
WRONG_ACCESS_ TO_ARCHIVE
The exception WRONG_ACCESS_TO_ARCHIVE is triggered if an archive is accessed using an incorrect or non-existing archive handle or an incorrect mode (that is, read if the archive is open for writing or vice versa).

How to load long text in BOM line item

Hello Experts
How do i load Long text in BOM Line item using LSMW
Thanks
S
Edited by: Alvaro Tejada Galindo on Jan 31, 2008 5:11 PM

Use Read_text function module.
you need to pass
ID
LANGUAGE
NAME
OBJECT to the function moduel
To find the Text id name language and object these are the following steps. Example: FB02
1. goto FB02, Enter Document number
2. from menuselect Goto>Header-->header Text..... New window will be displayed
3. select the Header Text. here you can see all the text.
4. click on the TEXT (which you want to know the Text id) , then press log ICON (you can find in bottom right of the text window) it looks like a rolled paper.
5. in the Next window you will find Text Name. Text ID, Language. etc...
