Long Text Extraction

Hi all,
We are facing a situation where we have to be able to extract text that is longer than 60 Character. These are some custem built Master data for PM. R/3 is the source system here and we have to come up with a solution. If anyone has experienced this before plz help...... I know if we normally extract it, first 60 character will be extracted. but the business requirement is to extract the whole of it and it is way more than 60 ( I believe thats the maximum capacity). is there any ABAP routine or something else to do it? any advice will be highly appritiated....thanks in advance

Hi,
in addition to my first answer, check out the weblogs. There are some of Eugene Khusainov about that and what to do for reporting.

Extracting long text of a message

Hi,
I have a message in a message class with a long text.I want to extract this longtext in my program. Is there any method to access/extract lontext of a message of a mesasge class? i.e if i can give the message class and message id as input?

Function module DOCU_GET_FOR_F1HELP will get you the message's long text. You'll need to set the ID to NA, and the rest of the parameters are the language and your message id and number.
The long text is returned in a table.
Regards,
Nick

Maybe I missed something, but you already have the long text for the columns in your FCAT structure. The problem you will have is that you will NOT be able to place those fields in the table that you have created because the headings will always be text and the columns may or may not be text (i.e. placing a heading into a numeric). You will be required to use a different structure.
Since you are writing a custom export, you will need to do one of the following:
Option A:
1. Retrieve the layout from the ALV as it will not necessarily be the same as when the original was created. The user may have moved a column or hidden one.
2. Create a structure for the export file that has only text fields. It should contain all of the columns from the FCAT. This can be done by creating another dynamic table and using the original FCAT and current layout.
3. Insert the headings as the first row of the export file.
4. Loop thru the internal table, compare it with the layout, and only insert the requested records into the export file.
5. Export the file.
or Option B:
1. Make sure the internal table has only text fields and insert the headings as the first record.
2. Insert all other records with fields converted to alphanumeric.
3. Use the standard export function.
Hope this helps,
Brian

Extract values from a long text

Hi, I need help in extracting value from a long text
Sample data:
A_BOARD_MEETING_600
I need to extract MEETING from the text.
I tried to use CHARINDEX and SUBSTRING but it's not returning the text I wanted. I hope you can help me.
select SUBSTRING(ID, CHARINDEX('_', ID,1+CHARINDEX('_', ID))+1, CHARINDEX('_', ID, 1+CHARINDEX('_', ID, 1+CHARINDEX('_', ID,1)))-1 ) from table
Using the query above it's returning MEETING_600.

Hi, thanks! But would like to ask how can this be converted where it can get the column ID in a table, I'm still learning SQL.
Select Parsename(Replace(YOURCOLUMNNAME,'_','.'),2)From your tablename

Can't extract long text from SAP command CN23 using VB script.

Am writing a VB Script to copy all the long text for a network (SAP command CN23) into an excel spreadsheet cell. I do the GUI script recording, but when the script displays the long text screen, the script does not copy the text. How can the script select all the text and save it to a cell of an open excel spreadsheet? The text window does not seem to follow the same functionality as the rest of the SAP screens.

Can not see long text description of a characteristics in portal

Hi experts,
I designed two queries via Query designer and published them to portal but I can not see the the long text description of "Name" attribute belongs to 0BPARTNER characteristics.
One of the queries shows only the last name of partner in portal while it is showing full name and last name in Bex Analyzer. The other query shows only the key value in both portal and Bex Analyzer.
I want to see long text description in both queries.
For an additional information, I'm extracting data from CRM 5.00 to BW 7.00
What will be the reason for this and how can I solve it?
Can anyone help me for this issue, it's a kind of emergency situation.

Hi,
we have the same problem.
We want to change <b>only</b> in the screen variable the hierarchy text (from default to long\medium text) but even if there's a possibility to do this, really it doesn't happen anything - it' s possible when you start query, in the selection screen inside every the variable there's a command "User Settings" in which manage what you want to see (I put display custom, as text, medium text).
I try to do this also in query analizer, selecting variable (hierarchy) and enter in this (user setting), changing in display custom as text - medium text, but even if I save this settings, really doesn't happen anything.
It seems the system isn't sensitive to this selection...
By now, if someone has an answer, please write us!
Thanks in advance,

Issue in maintaining Long Text in Message Class

Hi
For Note implementation 1413492, I have to maintain long text, when I click on Long Text , I get a pop-up Create Modification , with 2 options for Template Type (1) Original Text (2) Template (With Headers)
Can anyone let me know how to proceed further, whatever name I give for the Modification, I am getting Error Message saying 'Enhancement Name violates the namespace convention (Note 989653)', I have tried unchecking the Self Explanatory check box as well, but still I get the same error message.
Below is the Long text I have to maintain class FR, message number 533
7. Create new error messages in the message class FR:
Call transaction SE91, enter the message class FR, and choose "Display" and
then "Change". Enter the following new messages:
Message Message short text:
533 Error while calling RFC destination
534 Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable is not installed in the
system
535 For company code & there were & data records transferred from
FI-CA
536 Error during data transfer from FI-CA for company code &; error
text:
Set the "Self-explanat'y" indicator for messages 535 and 536.
Enter a long text for messages 533 and 534:

CAUSE
An error occurred when testing the RFC connection to Contract Accounts
Receivable and Payable. The message text is:

SYS_ADMIN
Check the settings of the RFC destination &V4&.

Hi Ryan,
Extract from note 989653;
Note:
The name of the modification object must start with:
o 'Z'/'Y', or
o the customer namespace available in the system (TRNSPACE table).
Otherwise, message 645 will appear because the SAP namespace is not
permitted.
My suggestion would be to start the name with a Z.

How to download and upload long text for project, WBS , Network,

Hi all,
I have two isssues.
1) I am extracting Projects, WBS , Network , Network activity and network activity element from a SAP 4.7 system using bapi's
BAPI_PROJECTDEF_GETDETAIL
BAPI_PROJECT_GETINFO
BAPI_NETWORK_GETINFO
BAPI_BUS2054_GETDATA
I am able to get all the details except long text. I want to know how do i extract the long text other than getting it manually by using select_text and Read_text Function module, is there any bapi to achieve this.
The reason why i am not using Function modules Read_text and Write_text is, object name( TDNAME ) value stored in STXH table for project, wbs and network are the project, wbs and network itself so i dont have any issues with this but the TDname value for activity and activity element are completely different ( Routing number and counter is stored respectively ) which i am not getting as the part of the bapi(BAPI_NETWORK_GETINFO) output.
2) I have to upload the extracted Project and it sub object data to ECC 6.0 system , i am able to achieve this by using BAPI's BAPI_PROJECTDET_CREATE, BAPI_PROJECT_MAINTAIN and BAPI_NETWORK_MAINTAIN. I am not able to load the longtext for the same, is there any way to load the long text .
All help will be greatly appreciated and rewarded.
Thanks & Regards,
Rajanidhi Rajasekeran.

I don't think there is any BAPI to do it.
We are doing it by read_text & edit_text . required fields for text name can be fetched by following select
if not e_activity[] is initial.
    select aaufnr aaufpl baplzl bobjnr b~vornr
      into corresponding fields of table t_longtext
      from afko
        as a
    left join afvc
        as b
        on aaufpl = baufpl
       for all entries in e_activity
       where a~aufnr = e_activity-network
       and a~aufnr is not null.
endif.
      txtname = wa_longtext-objnr.
      replace c_nv in txtname with sy-mandt.

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.

(How) Can I include Long Texts in Reports or Queries?

Hello,
We need to send our vendors their contract details including some of the long texts data.
So far we were sending excel spreadsheets to the vendors without the long texts. Is there some way we can start sending the spreadsheets to our vendors adding few extra columns for the long texts. Some of the vendors contracts have 20+ lines of data in the long texts.
Are there any better or easier ways than excel spreadsheets?
Is any kind of query development possible where long texts can be included?
Appreciate your time and answers.
Fred.

Sorry friends for not communicating my requirement clearly. I am aware of the functions to retrieve the long texts data for purchase orders/contracts.
I need some help in downloading the data to excel sheets. I believe there are restrictions in the number of characters that can be accomodated in a excel column, so I am not sure if very long texts (say >500 lines & 72 chars each) can be wrapped around within a excel column.
Also can a query be written to extract long texts, or can long texts, >500 lines & 72 chars each, be displayed using ALVs?
Thanks a lot for your time. Appreciate your inputs.
Below is a sample of how the report needs to look.
Contract Number     Vendor     Long Text1     Long Text2

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.
