Long text in bapi

Hi
I am trying to save a long text for material. to do this, I have to fill a table of type bapi_mltx.
If I insert one line all works correctluy, but if I try to insert more than one line, other lines are ignored and I can see only the first seem to be read. This is my code.
it_mltx-langu = lang.
it_mltx-langu_iso = iso_lang.
" insert first line
it_mltx-text_line = line1.
it_mltx-format_col = '*'.
APPEND it_mltx.
" insert second line
it_mltx-text_line = line2.
it_mltx-format_col = '='.
APPEND it_mltx.
I follow a precedent hint adding the format_col field with '*' for first line and '=' for following, but it does not work. Can anybody help me please?
thanks
gabriele

Hi,
Use '*' for second line also, not '=' and see weather the second line coming or not.
it_mltx-langu = lang.
it_mltx-langu_iso = iso_lang.
" insert first line
it_mltx-text_line = line1.
it_mltx-format_col = '*'.
APPEND it_mltx.
" insert second line
it_mltx-text_line = line2.
it_mltx-format_col = '*'. " Change here to *
APPEND it_mltx.

Update Time confirmation and Long text of Work Order in single FM or BAPI

Hi,
I would like to know, which standard FM or BAPI will update the longtext along with the confirmation text while doing the time confirmation of a work order.
I have tried with standard BAPI BAPI_ALM_CONF_CREATE for updating the time confirmation. This is updating the time and confirmation text properly but not the long text. I would like to know how can I update the long text while doing the time confirmation. Is there any other standard FM/BAPI will update both?
Thanks in Advance,
Mohan.

There is no standard SAP enhancement we can use for this purpose.
We have developed another program to maintian the long text in production order.
This call can be closed.

Short coming in BAPI for saving Document Long Text

Hello Experts,
I would be thankful to you if anyone of you offer a solution to the problem below.
I have found that the tables parameter LONGTEXTS of function BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHANGE/CHANGE2/CREATE/CREATE2 (structure BAPI_DOC_TEXT) could include the field TDFORMAT so that the user can specify how the next line should be interpreted by the editor. This would be in accordance with the tables parameter LINES of function SAVE_TEXT which is used to save long text. Currently only the text line is catered for in the BAPI and the TDFORMAT is therefore defaulted to u2018*u2019 in the SAVE_TEXT function which causes each line in the table to be treated as a new line.
What if the user wanted the lines to be treated as continuous text?
With Best Regards,
Mientjie Ferrie

Hi,
1. From se37, check for function group STXD
2. There will be many Fm.
3. The commonly used are
READ_TEXT
EDIT_TEXT
SAVE_TEXT

Promotion creation via BAPI - long text issue

I am going to use BAPI_PROMO_CREATE to create a promotion. Unfortunately this BAPI does not handle the long text piece of the promotion, and that is a requirement. Does anyone know of a BAPI that will create the long text for a promotion, or is there a generic BAPI for this functionality? I couldn't find one.
Thanks,
Tami

Error While uploading Long Text for Operations in IA05 Transaction.

Dear Team,
Good Day.
While we are trying to upload the Long Text through BDC for IA05 operations the text is updating in Database but it is not visible in the long Text field. Is it possible to upload the long text through BDC or any bapi's which can be used for the same. Any configuration needed for this please do the needful.
Regards,
Bhanu.

Hi Bhanu
correct me if im wrong, the long text is a multiline text, its an object for text, this cant be filled with BDC since this object can not be created in background mode, so i think the bdc skip the routines to fill this object, you can use the save_text function right after the transaction ends

MC

Bhanu,
I've modified the previous message with a correction that, I had used this for uploading Activity lines Longtexts.
One more thing: After I faced some problem, I used split text in the code. i.e., Splitting the longtext into several lines (72 char each). Show these code lines to your ABAPer, may be he might be able to draw some clues.
In the BDC lines alongwith other fields the gold line below
PERFORM FILL_BDC_DATA       USING ' ' ' ' ' ' 'BDC_OKCODE' '=MX07'.
PERFORM FILL_BDC_DATA       USING ' ' ' ' ' '   'BDC_CURSOR' 'QMICON-LTAKTION(07)'.
PERFORM FILL_BDC_DATA       USING ' ' ' ' ' '   'VIQMMA-MATXT(07)' FS_FIELD-MNTXT7.
PERFORM SPLIT_LONGTEXT USING COL_COUNT.
Code for Form SPLIT_LONGTEXT is attached herewith (MATXT1 to MATXT7 are longtext split into 7lines )
Best of luck

Smart Form Long Text

Dear Guys
I am trying to print long text stores at line Item of ME 23n Text Editor, in Smart From.
I am calling a BAPI for reading Purchase requistion details. The itab is also showing complete paragraph of text. But when I write it on smart from, previw is not showing complete paragraph. Infact many space is still left in smart form column.

Thnx Subramanian PL for replying.
When user writes text in ME23N text field, he normally use Enter Key many times to go to next line but while displaying it on a smart form using a loop the text also breaks unexpectedly due to those Enter Key press by user,while still there is more space to write the text in a sigle line on smart form.
To avoid above problem I first store all the text belong to a single papragraph in a variable string of smart from. But now when I try to display this text on smart from it is missing few last lines. Infact while debugging it, I can see that text is stored completely in variable.

How to add the long text in Production order through FM

Hi,
Iam having custom program which has BAPI (BAPI_PRODORD_CREATE) inside it and this program is used to create Production orders with the details of Sales order Number,Line item,Plant,Order type,Quantity and Start date. This program is scheduled in Background.
Now client wants to add the Long text (seperate TAB in production order and they want to update the VC details of Sales order in the Long text area).
One option is after creation of Production order, through BDC(calling CO02 and update the long text) we can update the long text and client doesn't want this option.
Another option is after creation of Production order, using Function module SAVE_TEXT, Update the Long text in Production Order and this is not working in Production order (already my ABAP consultant checked it ).
If any one of you came across this requirement, pl share with me how you addressed it.
Regards
A.Sureshbabu

Hi,
The method is quite simple, i presume you're quite well versed with doing recording, so the key thing to keep in mind is how to prepare the input file.
At my end i had about 5 lines of data which needed to be uploaded, hence i had a tab-delimited file with the order nos. in the first column & the five lines of text in five different columns (Refer format below)
Order No.
Line - 1
Line - 2
Line - 3
Line - 4
Line - 5
12345
txt - 1
txt - 2
txt - 3
txt - 4
txt - 5
67890
txt - a
txt - b
txt - c
txt - d
txt - e
Now provide this input file for your lsmw or bdc program & it will work. You can work with your abaper if you're not so comfortable with LSMW or BDC programming he / she should be able to easily make it work for you.

Vivek

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.

Empty line in long text in order

Hi,
I'm using BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 to create orders. Long texts can be added to the BAPI with the parameter ORDER_TEXT.
I know want to add different information. Therefore I need to insert an empty line between the different lines. How can I do that? If I add a line with just a space in the data element TD_LINE (text_line), it is not working. The BAPI might remove that while order creation.
Any advices?
Thank you

hi,
Do not append this to the internal table. Instead concatenate twice from where you want the blank link.
Example
The table contains the three lines as shown below
This report is required as to submit to the Govt. Department as a Statutory Report.
Manually preparing this form is very difficult. After this development user can get form with minimal efforts as well accuracy regarding data will be more.
But we required to display/update as
This report is required as to submit to the Govt. Department as a Statutory Report.
Manually preparing this form is very difficult. After this development user can get form with minimal efforts as well accuracy regarding data will be more.
Just you need to cancatenate the cr_lf twice at the end of 1st line
This report is required as to submit to the Govt. Department as a Statutory Report.0D0A0D0A
while displaying the long text in the Order it will show the effect.

Using long text in Mobile 7.1

Hello,
We are using Mobile 7.1. We want to display a long text of the notification object in the Mobile Client. We defined this field as STRING data type in the DOE and set TEXT MEMO flag for it. Unfortunately we have a problem with its definition in the backend. This field is included in the header structure for the noitification obect so when we define it as STRING (DSTRING data element), we get compilation error that STRINGS cannot be defined in the flat structure.
So how can we define this field in the backend in order to transfer more than 256 characters?
Thanks in advance,
Sergey

Hi,
You need to have a separate table to store attachments in the backend.
In the DOE define the attribute as STRING(tick the text memo) [This you have already done] .
In the backend you will need another table where you will be storing the attachments.
Lets assume you have a notification table : In this define the field for headertext with the data type as CHAR and length 1
Create another table where you want to store the attachments:
You can have the fields as NOTIFICATION and HEADERTEXT. This headertext should have a datatype STRING. You can also have a field called attachment type to store whether it is HeaderText or Binary Memo.
Create a BAPI wrapper for getting the HEADERTEXT with importing parameter as NOTIFICATION and exporting HeaderText and a return parameter:
Here the source code:
SELECT SINGLE b~headertext INTO e_headertext
         FROM <notification table> AS a
           INNER JOIN <attachment table> AS b ON
             borderid = aorderid
             WHERE a~orderid = orderid AND
              a~headertext = 'X' and
              b~ATTCHTYP = 'HEDTXT'.
Now in the DOE : give this function module name in the attachment Function module. SAVE (very important)
After doing the mapping go to the attachment tab and do the mapping with the attachment function module.
save and activate the backend adapter.
execute SDOE_LOAD.
Go to SE11: there should be a table starting <cds table name>ending with _TM.
Create an application in the similar way. No extra code required.
Thanks and Regards,
Narayani
