Long text editor called from report

Hi All,
I have a requirement of displaying long text editor(like the one used for sap script) for maintaining the details for each PO in report column.A similar example is transaction SO10.I will be thankful if anybody can help in this regard.
Thanks,
Sanjay.

Hi,
You will have to use the FM: READ_TEXT, EDIT_TEXT, SAVE_TEXT to achieve this functionality.
This will basically open the text editor as a pop up box ( size will be as sap script editor) for entering some comments against a Purchase Order.
For this FMs, you 'll require Text id, text name, text object and language as parameters to be passed.
thead-tdname = 'Purchase Order No'. " Name
thead-tdid = 'ZQH1'.               " Text ID - E.g. To be created in your system
thead-tdobject = 'VBBK'.   " Texts: application object
thead-tdspras = sy-langu.       " Language Key
Hope this helps.
Regards,
JLN

Excellent Eitan,
Here is what I am trying to Achieve.
In Create Notification IW21 , They need 5 Long Text in Custom Tab ( Say Tab Name is MBR ).
TAB1 NOTIFICATION Standard Information , TAB2 REFERENCE OBJ , TAB 3 MalFunction , Breakdown Standard one...... TAB 7 ( Custom Tab ).
In Custom Tab , I added 5 LONG TEXT ( its 5 WHY Concept ).
When the User enters data in 5 Long text , it should store long text along with Notification number when save.
But Notification number will be generated @ the time of SAVE , but before that its just shows as
%0000000001 ( and Number will be generated 1000065479) at Save.
How to achive this .
I did this:
Added 5 Custom Container. and In PBO / PAI
PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.
MODULE STATUS_0100.
PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
MODULE USER_COMMAND_0100.
IN PBO
   CREATE OBJECT TEXT_EDITOR1 ,    CREATE OBJECT TEXT_EDITOR2,    CREATE OBJECT TEXT_EDITOR3 like wise 5
   CALL METHOD TEXT_EDITOR1->SET_TEXT_AS_R3TABLE ,    CALL METHOD TEXT_EDITOR2->SET_TEXT_AS_R3TABLE .. Like wise 5 , So when the user Click on Custom Tab ( MBR ).
It give 5 Long text.
When he click tab1 or tab2 or tab3 .. and again tab MBR , still data is available.
How to store this data for future retrival ( IW22 or IW23 ) ?
Its working fine when I enter first time and goes here and there and finall save .
IN SAVE BADI , I imported the Long text and created Standard Text SO10 with Notification Number with LONG1 , LONG2 .. means 1000065479LONG1 as standard text.
But not working when I entered first time and go to tab1 and tab2 and then to MBR tab and added few more lines , its not exporting full lines and in IMPORT ( SAVE BADI ) giving ZERO Lines.
Please help and thanks for your quick response.

Long text editor - sign problem

Hi,
Currently I am facing an issue that the & sign is not being displayed correctly in the Long text editor. It is shown as '<(>&<)>' in the transaction once I input my value in the graphical editor , save and come back.
Please help...
Thanks
Praneeth

Hi Sandra,
I am also talking about the same issue in IW32 and the internal SAP program is not doing a correct conversion due to which the wild characters are entered into the long text window on IW32.
I received an answer for my OSS note and they say it is how the system is ..please see the comments from SAP below ...
26.08.2011 - 12:37:23 CET - Reply by SAP
Hi,
I am sorry, but the behaviour which you describe is correct.
I will try to explain the meaning of the special characters and
why they have to be there: In Sapscript there are some characters,
which have a special meaning. E.g. a '&' starts a symbol, a '<'
starts a character format, etc. So if you use e.g. a '&' in your
text, this Sapscript needs the information, whether the '&' shall
start a symbol or whether it shall be printed as '&'.
So if you want to print the '&' as '&', the character must be masked.
This is done via the characters <(>...<)>. So when you enter
a '&' (and when it is not sure, whether it may start a symbol),
the Sapscript internally saves the character as <(>&<)>.
Usually this should be no problem: If you process the text via
the Sapscript, you will not notice the masking characters. The
graphical editor will not display them. And if you print the text
via a Sapscript form or a Smartform, you will not see them.
Only if you look into the internal table, which is returned
by EDIT_TEXT or READ_TEXT, you will see the characters.
(and the old Sapscript editor displays them, too, because it
is displays the text in the Sapscript-internal format).
If you process the internal table yourself, you must take this
into consideration. E.g. if you want to convert the
Sapscript-internal ITF format which is returned by EDIT_TEXT
into 'normal' text format, you can use the function module
CONVERT_ITF_TO_ASCII.

Char. formats(Bold, Underline) in Long text editor not visible in ABAP WD

Hi ABAP experts,
Problem:
I have created long text with using bold and under line formats in long text editor (FM TEXT_ EDIT). I am trying to show same text in WebDynpro using READ_TEXT FM. But FM READ_TEXT is getting long text with HTML tags as shown below for bold and underline and it long text showed as same in WebDynpro application with HTML tags.
Long text shown in webdynpro:
Type your message using the form below. When finished, you can
optionally preview your post by clicking on the <H>"Preview"</> tab.
Otherwise, click the <U><H>"Post Message"</></> button to submit your
message immediately.
Is there any function module available to change format and pass to WebDynpro context?
Thanks
Rajesh Yadla

The normal text editor in Web Dynpro won't handle HTML tags (they get safe encoded as you described). In NetWeaver 7.01 we do introduce a FormattedTextEditor that allows for such formatting. There are APIs to convert from SAPScript based texts to the XHTML FormattedText tags.

Long Text Editor displaying & incorrectly.

Hi Experts,
                Currently I am facing an issue that the & sign is not being displayed correctly in the Long text editor. It is shown as '<(>&<)>' in some places and '&' in others. I understand that the <(> symbol is used as protection for special symbols like &, however this is occuring in some places and not in others. Is there any package which fixes this problem??
                  Please help.
Thanks,
Aditya.

Hi Naimesh,
                   My problem is not with the display of variables in the editor. Consider the case wherein transactional data is displayed in Long text. For example if you go to IW22 and decide to change the text for the notification description. In case you give a & sign in the long text - it will be converted to - '<(>&<)>' , when I log on to see the changes I made the next time. However I want the editor to stop this conversion. Please reply.
Thanks ,
             Aditya.

I can't receive texts or calls from certain phones

I can't receive texts or calls from at least 2 AT&T phones and at least one sprint iphone...I've reset the settings, deleted threads, called my carrier (tmobile) to make sure there are no blocks in place. It's weird because I can't even receive texts from tmobile or my bank! My bill is paid and I do get messages from other numbers. Can anyone help?

Finally got through to talk to a very helpful technician at EE by selecting account query rather than technical problem on the automated answering system on 150. A reset by EE sorted the problem out and the phone is working fine again.

How to use long text editor in Webdynpro

hi ,
I want to use text editor in webdynpro. I want to save the data in long text.
My requirement is the format of data should remain same(It should not get changed).
Thanks
SK

Hi,
use text editor uielement and bind it with a attribute of type string. convert this string into a table using function module
fill another internal table which is type compatible with table of SAVE_TEXT function module.
CONVERT_STRING_TO_TABLE. Call the function module SAVE_TEXT to save this text.
you need to find proper tdobject and tdid value which is to be passed in importing parameter "header".
similarly use FM "READ_TEXT" and convert the returned data into string using FM CONVERT_TABLE_TO_STRING.
Bind the returned table to an attribute of your context. The data will be displayed in the same format in which you entered it.
Thanks

How to add external call from Report Painter

Hi experts,
I'm working on a report painter, and I need to do an external call, from the generated code.
add something like this    PERFORM Z_CALCULO_IMPORTE_COMPENSADO(ZCASS_FFMRBCS)
                                                                                USING CUR-TAB
Is there any way to do it without an SSCR key?
Thanks in advance

HI Pradeep,
Goto the transaction code (Change Report) GR32.
Give you library name and report name
And click on the column (application tool bar or F7) button then place the curser on the screen where you want column (please note you have to keep curser on the header section u2013Red column text) right click and insert element. Then you select formula as selection element and enter. You will get the enter formula box. Then you can type your formula and continue. This will add new column to the report.

First column u2013 second column and devide by third column after that multiple with 100.
Hope this will help you

Hi,
You need to craete a SMARTFORM using transaction SMARTFORMS. In this trasaction under FORM INTERFACE give the variable which would be passed from your program.
Then use these variables and pass the information in Windows which you will create in your smartforms.
When you activate your SMART form it will create a Fucntion Module whihc you need to call from your report program.

Long Text not transfered from Notification to Order

Hi Experts,
We have 4.6 c version where in the Long Text from Notification created does not gets transfereed to Order if Order is created through Notification.
Does any one knows about any config missing or any note which needs to be applied.
Also if we go for E.C.C 6.0 do we need to maintain the config
Plant Maintenance and Customer Service->Maintenance and Service Processing->Maintenance and Service Order >Functions and Settings for Order Types>Define Notification and Order Integration
instead of or in addition to the config
Plant Maintenance and Customer Service->Maintenance and Service Processing->Maintenance and Service Notifications >Notification Creation>Notification Types-->Assign Notification Types to Order Types
Appreciate your valuable input in this regards
Thanks
