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 ...

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 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.

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 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.

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

Hi All,
The standard text will be stored in Name = ORDCONF_TEXT_(sales org)_(distributionchannel)_(division)
Text ID = ZSD
Examples: ORDCONF_TEXT_4000_01_01 , ORDCONF_TEXT_4000_01_80 , ORDCONF_TEXT_1000_01_01.
Requirement :
The print program /form will need to pick up the appropriate standard text based on the Sales Area (combination of Sales Org / Distribution Center / Division) of the sales order [VBAK-VKORG / VTWEG / SPART], provided a standard text has been created for that Sales Area. Itu2019s not required that every sales area have a standard text, so if one is not found, this step should be skipped and the rest of the print program executed.
The new text should print after 2 blank lines after the Printable Notes text (which is after the line items and the Total Net Price prints).
The font should be the same size as the Printable Notes, but bolded rather than italicized.
The text should print in the same columns as the Printable Notes currently print in (Material Description / Scheduled Ship Date / Quantity) .
So the logic i have used is this below code:
I used a subroutine in the layout of the main window becoz i need to print it in the main window below after 2 blank lines of line items.
This is logic in the layout:
/:PERFORM GET_OBJECT IN PROGRAM ZSDRP001_ORD_CONF_IRE
/:USING &VBDKA-VBELN&
/:CHANGING &ORDCONF_TEXT&
/:ENDFORM
/:INCLUDE &ORDCONF_TEXT& OBJECT TEXT ID ZSD PARAGRAPH A1
I called this subroutine in the print program:
Logic in the print program:
FORM GET_OBJECT TABLES INPUT_TAB STRUCTURE ITCSY

How to upload Methods long text using LSMW

Hi,
I am using LSMW - direct input program (Object 0001 Method - 0001) to upload methods long text.
I have two files with header and item as below
Header file:
Object : QPMETHODE
ID : QMTT
Item_id : link between header and item (method number)
NAME: Passing concatenated value of "sy-mandt, company code, Method number, 6 char space for version and language"
Language : E or S.
Item file:
Item_id : link between header and item (Method number)
Text Format : blank
Text line : long text
Here the problem is, after converting the data i have run the direct input program to upload the long text, but it is not updated in the transaction QS34.
Could any one help in this?
Thanks & Regards,
Suresh.

Hello,
The field QMTT-LTEXTKZ is a flag which says whether Inspection method has a long text associated with it at transaction level. You are not able to see the Long text in the transaction though you have loaded & able to see the long text by FM READ_TEXT because in your case the field QMTT-LTEXTKZ = ' '. so I suggest you to load the long text in following way.
Step 1: make a small recording to Tx: QS33 - push the long text button to get the long text editor. in this editor, on second line of the tag, put a * and save the transaction. By this way you put a X in field QMTT-LTEXTKZ & hence register a longtext for Inspection Method.
Step 2: proceed with the loading the Long text with object 0001as you mentioned.
Now you will be able to see the LT on the transaction level.
Hope this helps.
Regards, Murugesh

Populating the long text in equipment

How do we propose to populate the long txt in equipment? Is LSMW viable option, or would this be more complicated than it
sounds?

hi,
Long text always create problem either in functional location and equipements.So it becomes difficult in LSMW .the problem you will face is while recording in lsmw either you will get word document when you open long text and in main upload it will be in a format where only 72 characters per line is possible.
so it is better always if long text is involved to use BDC ..life becomes easy through BDC.

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.

I dont think that you need DMS for standard text maintenance.
The same menu entries you have for SAPscript standard texts in SO10.
