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,

How to get text flow onto the next page from template "travel journal"?

When wanting to create a new document, I chose "Travel journal" between "side layouts" in templates. When it opens, you see one page with pictures and example of text.
When I start to write my text in the text field, it disappears when I get to the end of the page.
What do I do to have the text move/flow to the next page automatically?

The "Travel Journal" template is a page layout document & uses text boxes. There is no default flow to another page. You need to insert a new page & then create a linked text box. You can link existing text boxes or create a new text box linked to an existing one. Click the linking triangle then click to create a new box or click an existing box to link to it.

How can I insert text in Pages so it flows to the next page?

I try copying a block of text into Pages but it cuts off at the end of the page instead of flowing to the next page. How do I fix this?

You have probably started with a Layout mode template instead of a Word Processing template. See the sidebar in the Template Chooser for which is which.
Alternatively you may have pasted an object (possibly from the Internet), not text into a Word Processing template. Click inside the object and copy the text, then delete the object and try pasting again.

Making dynamic form flow on to next page

Hello,
I am trying to make a dynamic form that is expandable. I have succeeded in creating expanding fields, but have been unsuccessful in convincing those fields to flow on to the next page (which I have added). I have set all the content for my fields to flowed and have allowed page breaks in all of them. I suspect there might be a pagination issue, but I have not found any solid information about how to use it correctly. If I select any option other than the default in pagination (while the subform at the bottom of the page is selected), the whole form disappears. I realize I may have some inherent flaws in my design and will perhaps need to start over, but if anyone had a list of requirements for making things flow to the next page (after a set margin at the bottom of the page, i.e. at 1" from the bottom, the field entry splist, and continues at 1" from the top of page 2), I would be grateful.
Thanks!

Hi,
I wondered if you might be able to help me solve another flow issue? I've got my form working quite well now, but I', having an issue with the text fields. My fields have captions that ask a question, and the response should be in the field. I wondered if there was a way to make the text fields wrap onto the beginning of the next line as they expand, rather than going onto the next line at the limit of the text field. For example-
What is your favorite color?: (the response continues here and goes all the way to the end and on to the next
line and continues here.
rather than-
what is your favorite color?: text text etc etc
text text text etc etc.
Does that make any sense? Is it possible? Should I throw this to the forum?
Thanks!

G/L Account Long Text Field in Display

Dear Sir,
I want G/L Account long text field be displayed along with G/L account number in G/L Account line item display report (FBL3N)
I cheched the layout, the option of G/L account number is available but option of G/L account Long text is not available.
Kindly guide me as to how can I do it?
Regards
Chirag Shah

You must do some development for it.
You can add additional field to FBL*N reports with using BTE exit.
First of all, if you don't use BTE before, you must create a product on FIBF.
Call FIBF transaction -> Settings -> Products -> ...of a customer
Create a new line,
Product: ZFI
Text: BTE Products for FI Exit
Product active: tick checks from activation.
Then you must call SE11 for structure RFPOS.
You must use append structure function for this structure and you can define ZFI_RFPOS append structure
Define 4 fields.
Component: KUNNR - Component type: KUNNR
Component: NAMED - Component type: NAME1
Component: LIFNR - Component type: LINFR
Component: NAMEK - Component type: NAME1
Then save and active your RFPOS structure.
After that, you must do same step for structure RFPOSX.
Then go to SE37 and copy from SAMPLE_INTERFACE_00001650 to ZFI_INTERFACE_00001650 FM.
After copy action, you must uncomment this line on ZFI_INTERFACE_00001650 FM's source code. It's very important;
E_POSTAB = I_POSTAB.
Then you should add some ABAP code for getting customer & vendor details.
I give you some examples, you can use it. (Next message on this thread, please check)
Then save and active FM.
Call FIBF transaction again.
FIBF -> Settings -> Process Modules -> ...of a customer
Define a new line.
Process: 00001650
Function Module: ZFI_INTERFACE_00001650
Product: ZFI
and this customizing.
Then you go to SE38 transaction.
start report RFPOSXEXTEND. After starting, a pop-up appears, you must click YES.
After those operations, you can see customer/vendor code and their names on FBL3N.
ABAP source example,
TABLES : bseg, kna1, lfa1.
IF sy-tcode = 'FBL3N'.
CLEAR: bseg.
SELECT SINGLE *
FROM bseg
WHERE bukrs = i_postab-bukrs
       AND belnr = i_postab-belnr
       AND gjahr = i_postab-gjahr
       AND koart = 'K'.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
    e_postab-lifnr = bseg-lifnr.
    CLEAR: lfa1.
    SELECT SINGLE *
    FROM lfa1
    WHERE lifnr = bseg-lifnr.
    IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
      e_postab-namek = lfa1-name1.
    ENDIF.
ENDIF.
CLEAR : bseg.
SELECT SINGLE *
FROM bseg
WHERE bukrs = i_postab-bukrs
       AND belnr = i_postab-belnr
       AND gjahr = i_postab-gjahr
       AND koart = 'D'.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
    e_postab-kunnr = bseg-kunnr.
    CLEAR: kna1.
    SELECT SINGLE *
    FROM kna1
    WHERE kunnr = bseg-kunnr.
    IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
      e_postab-named = kna1-name1.
    ENDIF.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.

Need to find table/field behind "Item long text" field in Notes tab in FB70

Hello,
To print a custom FI invoice, I need to access the data entered in the "Item long text" field of the Notes tab in FB70. To test, I used 5000 characters in that field to make sure it stood out from the rest of the data. F1 help does nothing on that field, and even running an SQL trace (ST05) doesn't show the text in that field being entered into any table. I tried F1 on a nearby field and got a structure instead of a table, so I investigated the structure through SE11 but found no character field with such a large capacity. How else can I find where that field is stored?

Thanks! It took a while, but with your help and a few other pages I managed to piece together an answer.
Vinod helpfully explained that the text name is a concatenation of various fields, but didn't specify how to find the line item ID. If you go to table STXH (as hinted by Brad and confirmed [here|http://fuller.mit.edu/SAPWebDocs/LongComment.html]) and search for texts created today (or whenever you were testing), you'll see the text name ends in '001' after GJAHR, so the line item ID is '001' regardless of how many line items you enter in the invoice.
Armed with that info, you can call READ_TEXT and loop through the results to concatenate the contents of each TDLINE field. (FB70 automatically breaks the user-entered text into different lines even if the user didn't press Enter, and each line gets its own record in the results.)
Thanks again,
Pedro

To Make the Long text field as required using OA Framework Personalization

Hi All
In IProcurement requisition, we have long text field called 'Justification' a long text field. I have made this field as mandatory by setting the required property as 'Yes' at site level. This works for Most of the cases. However if the user just presses Enter key and skip without entering something in this field . So how to stop the user without entering something except spaces or enterkey to proceed further.
Regards
Rajkumar

Hi,
Very Interesting question, I never thought of it.
In your case you may try to extend the controller of that page and in the controller trim the text and set that value to the text.
In other way, You can try in USER hook function : POR_CUSTOM_PKG package, check if you are getting that value.

BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST long text field missing

Hi,
I will have to transfer our vendor open items from v 3.1 to ERP 2004. I
am using BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST to upload these open items. However, I
cannot find the 'LONG TEXT' field in the said BAPI. In using F-02, a
long text field/button is available. How can i post an entry in the long text
field of the line item in f-02 using BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST.
Also, i have used the extension1 table and a BTE (note 487722) in
uploading the posting key. Since field bschl is available in table
accit, there was no problem in doing this. However, i cannot seem to
find the field long text in this table. Is it available? If not, what
can I do with the above situation.
Thanks.

Hi
Excuse me! you can't use RFBIBL00, use the fm SAVE_TEXT.
After calling the BAPI you should have the number of FI document will be created and know in which item you need to insert the long text so:
THEAD-TDOBJECT = <Object text>.
THEAD-TDNAME(4) = <Company code>
THEAD-TDNAME+4(10) = <Document number>
THEAD-TDNAME+14(4) = <Fyscal year>
THEAD-TDNAME+18(3) = <Item number>.
THEAD-TDID = <Id text>.
THEAD-TDSPRAS = <Language>.
THEAD-TDLINESIZE = 72.
These are the header data, transfer the text in LINES parameters.

Special Characters in Long Text Field of FI Documents

Hi,
Users entered the following in the long text field of a FI document:
"Settlement of claims for direct shipment (Refer to XXX/YY-053/2009, XXX/YY-018/2009, XX2120000031 and X2120000033)"
The default editor used is the one which looks like the MS Word.
When we changd to the other editor (Goto > Change Editor), we see the following:
"Settlement of claims for direct shipment to Thailand (Refer to"
"XXX/YY-053/2009<(>,<)> XXX/YY-018/2009, XX2120000031 and X2120000033)"
How did "<(>,<)> " comes about?
Any ideas?

I'd probably use a regex of "allowed" characters rather than a list of "disallowed" characters, but thats just a difference in approach.
I would probably use a regular expression - alphanumeric is fairly easy to check
String value = request.getParameter("enteredField");
boolean alphaNumericOnly = value.matches("\\w+");As a matter of being nice to the user, you can also do this check in javascript on the client side.
ALWAYS validate server side.
Optionally validate client side to give the user a better experience (less round trip requests)

Long Text Field in a Table

Hello Everyone,
I am looking for a solution for including a Long Text Field in a Table. I was not able to find any UI Element for LongText Field in a table. Could anyone suggest me a solution for this. I greatly appreciate your help.
Regards,
Gopal.

Hi Pankaj,
Thanks for your reply. I know that we cannot insert "TextEdit" UI Element in a table as this option is not available in ABAP WD. I also know that we can increase the width of the table Cell editor. But we dont want the Long text field to look like that.
We are looking for some thing that looks a bit meanigful for entering short paragraphs. It would be great if you can suggest us with some other ways of doing this.
I hope you can understand my requirement. I appreciate your help.
