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.

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

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 ...

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.

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.

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 <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.

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

Could you please suggest what changes i need to make to the infoset to view the long text of the Org unit.
elp will be highly appreciated.

The help text does not say that this is the case for routings (and I dont know it either as I never loaded text for routings).
Of course you can read your text with the function module, as you enter the keys like you done it to load the text.
But this is not a proof at all.
In 90 % where the text does not appear it is just a matter of the used key. maybe forgot to have leading zeros in the name field.
Best you enter a text manually in a route, then you use SE16 with table STXH to find this record, and then you compare the key fields of this record with the key fields of a record you created with the upload.
if this is all okay, then it might have to do with a text indicator in the normal tables of the routing.

Field Short Text and long Text not displayed in SKA1 in Se17

When try to extract chart of account data from SAP using Tcode se17 and table ska1. Short text and G/L acc long text are not displayed where as these are displayed when we use t code se16 and table ska1.
My client want to use specifically se17 for extracting the data.

Vineet,
that's a joke isnt' it ?
se17 is from SAP-Rel 2.1 or s.th.!
all jokes aside - the inclusion of text table (here table skat - to table ska1) is only realized with transcations SE16 and SE16N.
To program this inclusion to se17 is very costly - i think and a modification too!
hope you can persuade your client

Long Text Field Flowing incorrectly to next page

Hi Guys,
I have checked the "Allow Page Breaks within Content" in a subform. I include a text field in the subform and checked "Allow multiple lines" so if the long text cannot fit in the text field within one page, it will continue to next page. The problem now is the content in the second page is not continue from the first page, but it is copy the content from first page.
For example: 8 lines need to fit into text field. Only 5 lines can fit into text field in first page. Then the line 6-8 should continue in second page. Yes, the text field have 3 lines in second page, but not line 6-8, it copies the line 1-3 from the first page.
Anyone have experience on this or anyone can help me?

Hi,
I found a solutions to my problem (and posted it also to the SAP-SDN forum).
I changed following setting in the LiveCycle Designer (in Netweaver Dev. Studio):
edit->Form Properties->Defaults->Preview->Preview Type->Choose Print Form (instead of Interactive Form)
I prepared some XML-Data and used the preview: voila - no scrollbars!
Since we only create PDF for printing the result is ok.
Update: Only in preview mode the scrollbar is missing not when I use it in server application (web dynpro - ads).
Cheers,

OK Now I understand why you were looping at iTAB2.. try this change..
loop at itab1.
write:objnr
loop at itab2 where objnr = itab1-objnr.
if sy-tabix eq 1.
 write: itab2-longtext.
else.
 write: / itab2-longtext.
endif.
endloop.

Long Text Missing In COA(Certificate of Analysis) Report

Hi Friends,
We have a case where Long text entered in the results recording is missing in the COA Report for only certain Batches .
For same MICs and COA Profile,the Long text is displayed correctly in the report for the different batches.
I have investigated this and text element been used in the MIC is 0024 Code short text with results long text.
We have checked the COA Profile for this MIC and material has been assigned ,so profile find to be correct.
The SAP form used for COA Print is a standard and MIC is of Qualitative.
Could you please help on this .
Thank you.
Regards
Siddartha

No idea really but look at this:
Any chance the user was logged in with a differnt language when they created the long text? If they logged in as ES for instance, the long text might be stored as ES. But the COA is bring printed in EN so the ES long text is not found.
Do you see an entry in table STXH for the long text for the batches that don't display it? (Text ID is QMEP).
I'd compare the entries in STXH for a long text that prints and one that doesn't and see if you notice any differences.

How to embed images in long text of PM Notifications/Orders

Dear Sir,
How to embed images in long text of PM Notifications/Orders? Kindly help.
Thanks & Regards
PM Team.

Hi,
Unfortunately, You will not be able to view the graphics within the Long text editor screen.Only Limited word functionality is available on these editors.
You will have to store these pictures separately as an attachment, through generic object services and then view them through that.
