Long Text box in Selection Screen

Hi,
How to create a long text box in the selection screen.
Is there any example/demo program in standard??
Regards
Jiku.

erm, what do you want to achieve with this?
should your users be able to search for long texts?
That will probably fail since there are differences between the input and the long text you are searching for.
Or do you have users making no faults?

Dynamic header text in table control - Dialog programming

Hi All,
I have a table control on one of my dialog screens. I need to dynamically change the column header texts on this control in my PBO. Does anyone know how to do this? I have found all kinds of ways to modify the other characteristics of the fields at run time in the PBO (active, input/output, invisible, etc.) - but not to change the header text! Any help is appreciated.
thanks,
Matt

Hi Hymavathi,
I appreciate your help! This didn't solve the issue, however,...I have used the method you'd mentioned before (many times) for setting it inside the loop at screen:
%_<screenname>_%_APP_%-TEXT = <text something>.
- but only in ABAP reports. It doesn't seem to recogize it (the table control column header text) within a dialog program. I keep getting a compile error. (saying that the %_<screenname>_%_APP_%-TEXT doesn't exist.
I tried the suggestion that you stated below (from lateesh) - yet it only let me place i/o field in title text area (not the column header text). Am still searching...

How to get longer text boxes into iMovie

I'm hoping to input longer quotes and text into iMovie HD 6. I thought I got around this problem by creating a ppt with the appropriate text, saving the slides as jpgs, moving them to iPhoto, and then importing them into my movie (long process!). Unfortunately, the text comes out blurry.
How can I simply write the text into iMovie when it's longer than a sentence? Or else how can I create some image with the text that I can import and it will show up clearly?

I have the same problem - I want to have a ticker-style text scrolling at the bottom, but for texts longer than 200 words the font becomes blurrier and harder to read, and by the time the text reaches 500 words it's completely illegible. This does not seem to be affected by how long the ticker-box lasts (same problem for when it's 7 minutes as 2 minutes), though splitting a 4 minute, 400 word string into two 2 min, 200 word strings helps if you put them into two seperate "ticker" instances. But then you have an unwanted gap in the middle between when one ticker ends and the other starts.
So, why is the text quality so ******?

CS4 Linking Text Boxes Together in Anchored Objects?

Hi. Using InDesign CS4 I have a Anchored Object that I would like to link part of it to the next one in the text frame. Example: I have grouped together a text box, a box with a placed UPC from Illustrator and another text box stacked on top of each other, all lined up. I group this and place it in a text box so I can set these at different places along a 29" document. When I have overset text, in the top box for example, I see the + sign but can't grab it to try to link the text to the next text box in the Anchored or grouped object. All I can do it change the size of the box - even when holding down the command key on the Mac with the text too enabled. I am setting it up this way so all three boxes stay together when positioning on pages. I have multiple rows of these so it makes it easier to modify. If I take the grouped set out of the text box so it's by itself I can grab the overset text. I am trying to link text boxes so it's easier and faster to flow in text from another program. Thanks.
Pat

OK, I will try to get the whole page later. I want to keep what you see in the screen shot - one of the grouped objects - together as it goes across the page. So the 9232554 text and all bellow that would stay grouped together when I tab it over to line up to a certain spot on the page. This is placed in a text box that runs horizonal on the page, about 28" across. I also wanted to link the 9232554 box to the 9232729 box which is just a duplicate of the group of text and UPC code before it. But from what you say, and what I tried to do, I can't. Even when all the anchored object groups are in the same long text thread. I tried not grouping each section - the UPC code sandwiched by the text boxes, but could not place them in the long text box when not grouped togther.
I wanted to flow in the text to all 14 of these grouped or anchored objects, say all top boxes, in one 'paste' instead of doing each one at a time but keeping the 3 elements you see togther at all times.

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.

Line on top of text box

I got a nice photo book printed out but on top of any page with a long text box there is a horizontal line atop the heading for that text panel.... I thought it was just a visual anomoly in the app but it actually PRINTED that way and now I've got a book with weird elements all over the place (see attached).

Interesting. Indeed, it relies less heavily on internals, so should be more portable across versions.
The drawback is the "whole container painting" side, so one might need to crop the image to the wanted portion, which is a minor issue.
I hope JavaFX will offer some day a fromFXNode() function, to avoid any hack. And it was [proved it might accelerate a script|http://piliq.com/javafx/?p=1108] to use an image out of lot of nodes instead of trying to manipulate all the nodes, so it is useful beyond saving/transmitting the image.

Passing Text From Class to Main Program

I am trying to write three separate strings from the class
file into three separate TEXT boxes within the main program. It
works using three separate functions. Is there a way to change the
code so it all can happen from within but one and the same function
in the class file.
package Edit
public class Texter
public var i:int;
public static var result:String;
public function Greeter()
public function sayHello():String
result = "This is the first idea I have. ";
return result;
public function sayGoodbye():String
result = "Here is the second idea, like. ";
return result;
public function sayHi):String
result = "Here is the third city disco. ";
return result;
Thanks,
BudHud

You can use a parametrized function which will display the
information according to your given data
like
public function saySomething(data:String):String
return data;
}

Long Text Upload for TaskList ( txn IA05/IA06)

Hi,
We need to upload long texts for task list operations (Txt object: ROUTING, Txt ID: PLPO).
We have tried the following approaches:
1.) LSMW with via Direct Input :
Object                    0001   Long texts
Method                   0001   (No selection)
Program                 SAPDMC/SAP_LSMW_IMPORT_TEXTS
Program Type         D   Direct Input
This menthod is able to save the text and we can read the text using FM READ_TEXT but I am not able to see the text in txn IA05/IA06.
2.) LSMW via direct Input :
Object               0490   Gen.task list
Method               0000
Program Name         IBIP
Program Type         B   Batch Input
Using this LSMW I am able to save the text for transaction IA05 but this does not work for IA06.
3.) I tried using the FM SAVE_TEXT, CRETE_TEXT , INTTAB_SAVE_TEXT , INTTAB_COMMIT_TEXT but these also does not seems to be working.
Can anyone suggest me how to upload text for General Task List Operation. This is bit urgent and your quick response would be highly appreciated.
Awards points are assured for the right answer.

Lalit Kabra

Please help me with some sample codes and steps in this regards.
Thanks in advance,

Use some message no of a message class created in txn se91 if that message gets display where u need to show the long text. Just remove the tick from the checkbox which says self explainatory goto longtext and write the remarks over there
I hope i am clear..

Control of Text box in Dialog programming

Hai Friends
i am having problem in controlling the Text box in PAI of Screen. For eg. if it is command button with the use of Function name i can able to check or do validation in PAI.
As in the case of Textbox how to give the name for the text box and how to handle it in PAI for Validation.
Please
Badhri.

Are you talking about a text editor? IF so, what is the validation that you want to perform. Do you want to check to make sure that the user has entered something in the text editor?
If so, then just get the text from the text editor into an internal table, and check that internal table to make sure that something is in it.
 call method editor->get_text_as_r3table
 exporting
 only_when_modified = c_textedit_control=>false
 importing
 table = textlines
 exceptions
 others = 1.
 if textlines[] is initial.
 message e014.
 endif.
