Long Text --- 1000 characters

Hi All,
I have a report that is using ALV and one of my fields has to display a long text description of a material. My client has asked me to make sure that at least 1000 characters are displayed for a long text description. I have tried to explaing to my client that only 132 character can be displayed but insisted that he desparately needs 1000 characters....
Can anyone advice me out on this.
Regards,
Fred.

Any way to get more than 1000 characters in notes?

i was just wondering if there was any way to get more than 1000 characters in the notes section of the ipod. i have outlines for school and they are a lot longer than 1000 characters... i didnt know if there is a setting on itunes or the ipod or a hack or mod to make it more than 1000 character limit. thanks for the help

No.
You can use the iPod in Disk mode and copy the outlines in their native format (Word?) and put them on your own computer.

Long Text into BI

Hi Guys,
I have to bring long text (7000 characters long) from table STXL into BI. I went through the discussions on the forum without much help. One option is to split the text into multiple infoobjects and joining them in analyzer. This option is not practically possible for me because of the text length.
I enhanced an existing datasource with a new filed and tried to populate the field from the text field in STXL table. The challenge now is to bring the field into BI. Someone mentioned in the forum that we can write couple of function modules (READ_TEXT and GUI_DOWNLOAD) to extract the text into BI as a file and write another program in BI and load the text into documents of infoobject. Is this the only option available?
Can you please send some sample code on ECC and BI for this purpose? Also, If I want to display the document in excel analyzer, will it be available as a separate column in the report?
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Using edit text control for storing and displaying text of 1000 characters

Hi all,
I have a requirement to provide a field for remark in one of dialog screens, for saving remarks of up to 1000 characters. I made container and edit control and add a field LCHR in database table with preceding INT4 field. Then I use this code to save/read data in/from database table:
CALL METHOD editor->get_textstream
     EXPORTING
       only_when_modified = 0
     IMPORTING
       text               = mytext
     EXCEPTIONS
       OTHERS             = 1.
in user command and:
CALL METHOD editor->set_textstream
     EXPORTING
       text = mytext.
in status.
Then in read I tried to select single LCHR field from that row and put it in mytext TYPE string. In save I save mytext as LCHR field in database table. There is no error anywhere but it doesn't work. Is it even possible to save STRING text in LCHR field of database table?
What is alternative? Text objects from SE75?

Having a string in a database table is absolutely independent on having some trouble in the program. If you got an error saying you need only flat structure, that means you can't use a deep structure in the context.
I suppose you are using the structure on the screen or ALV. You can only use a flat structure there (no strings, no sub-tables...) as you would not be able to render a deep-structured data on the screen. Of course, ABAP could handle that e.g. by ignoring those deep fields, but we would want too much.

Number of characters in long text functionality

Can anyone please help me as to how many characters are there in long text functionality in Standard SAP. If we create a document under FB01 , there is a long text field how many characters we can enter in that text field.
Also can we have any number of characters in custom field or is there any restriction to it.

Hi Isha,
Please refer the solution for your problem on this link :
Here i have explained in detail how you can go about with providing Custom Controls on the screen.

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)

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).

Could you please give me some information about the following Function Modules also?

I have requirement where the issue is that long text is not printing completely and getting cut off in certain number of characters.

Problem loading hierarchy long text. Item text only displays 45 characters

Hi,
When loading the Financial Statement hierarchy from ECC to BI I am only getting a 45 character long text for the nodes. This text seems to correspond to the "Item" text seen in transaction fse3 in ECC. However, the text that I need to have is the (concatenated) long text enterer in the multiple fields under either "End of Group" or "Start of Group" (under Item: Display Texts in fse3).
Does anyone know if it is possible to extract this information and how to go about when doing this?
Points will be rewarded for help.

Nils
